Days Out with a toddler near Stockport

Hi everyone
Will be visiting this area next week and am looking for fun / cheapish things to do, or places to visit with a twenty month old. Parks, petting zoos or anything similar .
Does anyone have any ideas. Have a car so willing to drive 10 miles or so

TIA

    There's quite a few things I know of in South Manchester which is just a short drive away.
    - wythenshawe farm and park
    - national parks (lyme park, tatton, dunham massey, quarry bank mill) - if you park outside (not in the main car park) you can often get into the grounds for free
    - MOSI/art gallery in Manchester if you're up for getting the train into the city centre
    - I've found this website good for my local area events etc: http://www.raring2go.co.uk/index.php

    Heaton Park (small farm/nice play area)

    Reddish Vale Farm (small but nice for little people)

    Bean and Brush Art Cafe, Sale (paint ceramics, good for rainy day)

    Let Loose soft play (small person bit)

    Manor Park, Glossop (playground, mini train, minigolf)
