Best Outdoor Activities in Stockton Heath

"One of the best zoos, not just in the UK but the whole world, Chester Zoo in the north of the city is gigantic. Over 125 acres there are more than 20,000 individual animals. The founder George Motterhead wanted to built a zoo without bars, calling on natural barriers like ditches and moats to contain animals."

"Chester Zoo is one of the UK's top tourist attractions, offering a fun packed day out for everyone, no matter what age. You can see over 500 different species of animals, visit the award-winning gardens. A fantastic day out for the family."

"There’s fun for the entire family at Chill Factore, an indoor Alpine ski village that offers the chance for you and the family to try your hand at skiing or snowboarding without having to find a mountain. Those who have a little experience can spend a day skiing down the UK’s longest indoor slope with real snow, while newcomers can enrol on lessons on the centre’s nursery slopes. If you don’t fancy skiing but still want to play in the snow, there’s the opportunity to go sledging or snow tubing, as well as a snow-covered play area for younger children."

"It’s the wildest day out in the north west, when you find animal families from all over the world, waiting to meet you at Knowsley Safari. From Antelopes to Buffalo and beautiful Big Cats, fasten your seatbelts as you set off on Knowsley Safari’s 5-mile Safari Drive. Meanwhile, the cheeky monkeys have been missing you over at Baboon Jungle, or get adventurous on The Foot Safari, with all sorts of species waiting to be discovered, and socially distanced picnic tables for hungry explorers."

"Fun for all the family is this incredible Safari Park that’s home to over 700 world animals. Set over 550 acres, there are a number of ways to explore Knowsley Safari. The safari drive allows you to see animals in as close to natural conditions as possible."

"Knowsley Safari is a five-mile safari experience, with over 700 animals to see. Exciting, educational excursion for the whole family. Fun Things to Do in Liverpool With Kids"

"Eastham Country Park is a 100 acres of woodland that is good for peaceful walks while having a one of a kind birdwatching adventure. Experience the abundance in birdlife and greeneries that this country park is offering. A perfect place for the family to have their quality time, kids and their parents would love to do the many activities offered in this place."

"San Carlo is Manchester’s most famous and, some say, best Italian restaurant. Run by the Distefano family, it’s said to have one of the largest turnovers in the UK. It’s also the place to be papped and there’s usually a bank of photographers outside to prove the point."

"Liverpool’s San Carlo is a bit different to the rest of their venues in that it’s not a theme restaurant but a highly lavish Italain venue for lovers of fine food. Their range of pasta and sauces will have you spoilt for choice and you’ll leave wanting to return back for more. View this post on Instagram"

Of course stocking all their Liverpool Gin range they also have a great selection of alternative premium gins and brilliant tonics to match. Clearly if you’re a gin lover you HAVE to visit here."

"For a glass of Liverpool’s finest gin then a trip to the Liverpool Gin Distillery on Castle Street is a must. You can go simple and pick from their collection of gins for a G&T or you can go all out and try their masterclasses. Go on a distillery tour, distill your own gin or try a bit of gin tasting."
