narabanekeater

There will be 2 adults and 2 children staying in Butlins Minehead. Can anyone please tell us if Tropiquaria is worth a visit? and if anyone knows of any cheap entry tickets that are valid for both here and the Minehead area. We will have a pram with us.
Many Thanks

The West Somerset (steam) Railway is about a 10 minute walk from Butlins and runs for 20 miles to Bishop's Lydeard, if one of the children is into steam trains its worth a trip. The timetable for the rest of the year is here http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/article.php?xArt=179&jssCart=60d7f5c1340ee1a25702ed979693124a Its a bit pricey http://www.west-somerset-railway.co.uk/article.php?xArt=49 but they take Tesco vouchers on non-event days http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=509

No recent experience of Tropiquaria, my cousin's children loved it about 10-12 years ago but that probably isn't much use.
