Well we're to begin, as I said I always used this family ran aquatics until they moved I then had the joy of dealing with dobbies and pets at home, which is ok if you like paying through the nose for dull fish and pretty rubbish advise I was thrilled when I saw the sign at the side of the road for a new aquarium and was pleasantly surprised when it was the guys from my old shop...ace so stocked up my tank with beautiful fish and yea I know everyone slates guppies but there my favourite and they have like 15 different types, loads of tetras and random stuff I don't even know of, their expanding the shop soon they say and I can't wait about another 50 odd tanks so the place will have tons of different varieties to choose from, don't be put off by my comments if you like unusual fish and hate guppies lol there loads of weird and wonderful stuff and really colourful cichlids, discus, arrowana, rasbora, Angels and their cold water fish are stunning big fat bubble head goldfish...amazing so I'm going to set up another big tank from them and have fancy goldfish, there so reasonable you have to visit and get something for your tank. Going to take my dad in for some koi carp as he says everywhere else for pond fish In liverpool is over prised and they never last, he's made up the guys from hillfoot aquaria are still going strong and looking forward to getting some big koi. Well done guys all the best and can't wait to see the bigger store......lots more guppies please. :) sorry everyone!!!!

The Jungle Parc is an absolutely amazing place for kids, and not too bad for adults too. I never…read moreeven knew this place existed until I was searching the net and then came across this place. I would strongly recommend this for age 7 - 10 though smaller ones are able to come along too, height restrictions do apply to certain parts of the adventure courses, so to avoid disappointed I would recommend you go onto their website and check first. This place is all about fun and fitness for the whole family. They have a massive high wire forest adventure course; which is set within the countryside and developed to encourage you to get moving, and trust me by the end you the adventure a good cuppa and sleep is what you'll need, though if it is for the family then keeping the kids active by getting them tired then Jungle Parc is the place to bring them. It is a very safe environment and with all the proper equipment it is very enjoyable. The X-plorer course is for anyone over 1.35m in height and the Adventurer course is for children from 4 years old and with minimum height of 1.05m. The Jungle Parc is situated in Croxteth Country Park which is only 10 minutes from the city centre.

The Jungle Parc which (like Gemma) I also never knew existed until I came across a flyer, is based…read moreat Croxteth Country Park. The site is generally an incredible place for outdoor activities for those looking to burn off more than a bit of energy (adults and children alike). The premises consists of two different courses: X-Plorer course and Adventurer course (for the little ones). Each course is ideally designed with a practical element, almost like an assault course but with the fun involved. There are 40 amazing activities to enjoy as you glide through trees on rope bridges, zip lines and cargo! It definitely sounds exciting as it really is. Adults are just £20 and Juniors £15. Prices include full training and all equipment to make sure you are fully prepared and safe. Not bad at all for an adventourous day in jungle like surroundings.

For all those who love what lies beneath the waters, blue planet aquarium is likely to be a…read moreheavenly visit. You will be mesmerised by a huge range of fish and sea creatures. There is plenty for all to see as the aquarium houses one of the longest water tunnels in the world. I also noticed that there were some divers swimming with the sharks...crazy people!!! The centre offers these shark diving experiences, whatever floats your boat I guess. A recent new addition to the aquarium as been "Venom". Aptly named this part of the aquarium includes some of the most venomous creatures on the planet including spiders, lion fish, vipers, insects and reptiles. If you are scared of spiders you might want to stay away from the Tarantula tower, because stepping inside you will find yourself surrounded by over 50 massive incey wincey spiders. Alongside Knowsley safari park this is the other gem of a day out for adults and kids alike. Ticket prices are similar to the safari park, £15 for adults and £11 for kids. For a day's adventure into the deep it is well worth it in my book!!! So go on dive into the world of blue planet aquarium.....

During your day out at this amazing aquarium, you'll be taken on an incredible voyage of discovery…read morethrough the underwater world. It isn't just a place with a big fish tank, it has everything from freshwater lakes and streams to rocky shores and stunning coral reefs on display. Hard to imagine but it's true. At the heart of the aquarium is the extraordinary Carribean reef, complete with its long underwater tunnel to wow visitors. There is a huge variety of species including stingrays, sharks and a collection of amphibians too. Blue Planet Aquarium is family friendly and it's easily accessible for pushchairs. Disabled access is excellent and wheelchairs are available for hire. A restaurant offers a rest bite for tired legs and a relaxing tea break if you need it (I suggest you should)! There is a themed shop to end your day leaving you with some brilliant memories and a perhaps a special gift. I can't find anything negative to say about Blue Planet Aquarium, not that I want to; I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it to others.

This is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review, or tocomment on another persons view…read more However, I feel that I must inject somebalance into this particular one. I accidentally came across this review last week, whilst searching forprices for a forthcoming birthday party we intend to have at Happy Hours. I visit there fairly regularly, being a registered child minder with myown four year old son and three other children ranging from two to fouryears of age. I originally found it via netmums.com and have been attending for abouttwelve months now. I've seen the 'so-called' hoodies popping in and out to order toastedsandwiches. They are so intimidating that the have actually folded up andcarried in a twin push chair which I use for the two year old kids. They've done this on two occasions. They may be hoodies, but I don't feelthreatened by local youngsters who come, most likely, from normalfamilies. It's not a gangland uniform, after all, for the majority of bigkids and even some adults, it's just convenient weather-proof clothing,(MUCH NEEDED THIS SUMMER!!). I consider that it's most unfair to describe the place as dirty, or thetoys as grubby. It is obviously showing signs of usage. I understand ithas been operating for over ten years and its condition is still, in myview, quite satisfactory. Also, the fabric covers on some of the ride-ontoys are often soiled (No, not with that - just dribbles and generalcontact with kids clothing and dirty fingers). However I have noticedstaff removing covers and replacing them with others, which indicates thatthey are obviously laundered from time to time. I cannot understand the comments regarding the toilets because I amcertain (CHECKED YESTERDAY for my own satisfaction before leaving thisentry) there are two separate toilet areas for boys and girls (men andwomen). They are both accessed through a common entrance and both haveouter and inner doors and separate washing facilities. Furthermore, on novisit have I ever noticed a missing toilet seat. I did spot yesterdaythat a plug was missing from the sink in the boys hand basin. I mentionedthis to Sharon, who works there and she said she would get the boss to seeto it. The steps to the ball pool are a little steep, but not high, only aroundtwo feet or thereabouts, so with a little parental assistance the smallestof kids can cope with them. Even if they do take a tumble, it would be noworse than a minor fall at home, whilst clambering around. The only complementary comments regarding the food area and staff, I agreewith. However, it is noticeable that the reviewer's comments regardingcleanliness of the former seem to be rather begrudged, as if she wouldhave liked more time to have managed to find some fault with that. I'll be continuing to go to Happy Hours, but may easily have been put-offby this review. I'm glad I didn't see it first.

You could walk around Sefton Park every day for a century and not see it in the same way twice. I…read moredon't know what would be so special about that 36,501st day but that'd be the one you get bored on. A mighty, verdant wonderland of precise landscape design, the park has everything- a lake, a cricket club, a cafe, tennis courts, an obelisk, a grotto, a dingly dell, a palm house, a nature reserve, an iron bridge, a swing park, a bowling green, fountains and a bandstand. Once upon a time, there was also an aviary, an open-air theatre and even a freaking pirate ship. Nowadays it plays host to the jangly joy of the Africa Oyé festival, as well as whatever circus has thundered into town from across the eastern horizon. Opened in 1872 by Prince Arthur (Queen Victoria's son) who dedicated it "for the health and enjoyment of the townspeople", the park received a vital face-lift in 2009. The lake was cleaned, sloppy grass banks were resculpted, signposts erected, statues polished and view-blocking trees were sliced down, somehow making the vast park seem even more open and welcoming. Oh yeah, I forgot ducks off that list before. It has ducks. Ooh and grass.

Out of the city and into the countryside, or so it would seem! Big open fields, winding tree-lined paths, a boating lake (not that I've ever seen a boat on there), greenery galore. The Palm House is beautiful and having seen it in the midst of a deep snowy winter and it's reflective crystal maze esque glory of summer, it's always amazing. Today, we were strolling around the lake and there wasn't just one swan or two, but a whole family with their little cute baby signets just catchin' the sun on the path and people were just sitting watching them, almost cooing in appreciation at them they were so gorgeous. The park has also opened up a little cafe that serves yum stuff like rum and raisin and mint choc chip (my fave!) icecreams, coffees teas and lollies etc from a little glass pod on the edge of the lake, the seating outside gives a great view of the park to enjoy your surroundings and relax! So pack a picnic or a barbie, throw down a tartan rug and soak up the sun in one of the most mesmerising parks in the world! (Well, in our lovely little Liverpool bubble anyway!)
