Review of Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World in Telford, with animals, feeding talks, animatronic dinosaurs, prices, tips, and family advice.

“I came in with my nephew, we loved looking at the animals, we did however think that the ‘Feed the baby T-Rex’ activity was not suitable for younger children, it was very loud and overwhelming, it may be more suitable for children aged over 6, my 3 year old nephew found it very distressing”

2.Cadbury World Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 524 reviews · 3 hours (approx.)

Cadbury World Birmingham review: what to expect, family value, chocolate attractions, timing tips, 4D rides, queues, and cancellation advice.

“Complete waste of money and an awful experience. Tour wasn't very long, and only received 4 chocolate bars, 2 of which were included with the purchase of a £1.50 bag, so technically if you don't buy the bag you only get 2. I went with my little girl, £25 for me, £20 for her. Complete waste of money.”

Review of Birmingham’s two-hour walking tour to the Jewellery Quarter, with canal paths, cathedrals, city squares, local stories, and practical tips.

“Our guide (Jonathan Berg) was knowledgeable and friendly, and whilst I live in Birmingham and have been in some of the places we visited, it was really interesting to hear the history of it and have some of the dots joined up. A lot of new developments are happening in the city, and it was good to see these too and to have hidden gems pointed out, like what is inside the new sphere in one of the locations in the Jewellery Quarter. I also went along parts of the canal and crossed a bridge I have never been on, in the 47 years that I have been in Brum!…”
