Suggestions for things to do near West Midlands Safari Park

Hello all,

We are going to West Mids Safari Park on the weekend (Sunday) but are travelling up from S Wales on Saturday and back on Monday afternoon. I'm after some suggestions for other things to do in and around the area. We are staying in Tamworth area. We are 2 adults, 2 children (10 and 5). Not looking at a theme park as the 5 year old is too short for the big rides.

Thanks in advance.

Lichfields quite nice if you just want a lesurely half-day shopping/playing in the park.

For something more active, you might all like Waterworld.

Not far from WM safari is stourport. Nice little place with a little fair ground with a good selection of rides for the little ones, go karts, river boat rides, parks, fields, crazy golf and arcades. Not far from that is Severn Trent valley railway, bewdley is a nice little place as well as bridge north.

Thanks all.

We have since booked Cadbury World for tomorrow as it is enroute to the hotel.

redboy1 - I like the sound of Stourport, we love crazy golf so will look at that now

If you are neat Tamworth, you are fairly close to Drayton Manor Park. Might be worth considering.
