No matter my age, I don't think I'll ever be a 'real' grown up. With this in mind, my wife and our…read morefriend Amy booked a joint private party for my pal Dave and me, to celebrate our 30th birthdays! 2 hours of carnage in a giant soft play area, filled with ball pools, rope bridges and slides, cost just £7 per overgrown child, and it included a free slush puppy! The two guys who pulled the short straw and had to man the evening shift were full of banter, and once we'd spent the first hour exploring the whole arena, set up two team games for my ultra-competitive friends and me. The whole night was hilarious, and exhausting in equal measure. A great way to celebrate my 30th birthday!

Awesome fun. I dunno if the kids would enjoy it (probably would!) but we went for an adult party…read moreand it was a laugh. Massive play space, all the usual machines and a fried chicken place on the side. Only downside, some of the kit looks like it's seen better days. If you're after a party for a group of kids, even if they're around the thirty-year mark, you should have it here!

Sandwiched between the heaving urban mass of West Bromwich and the non-stop traffic of the M5, this family attraction is an oasis of agricultural heritage. It is always a pleasure to visit in March, when the lambing season has begun, to see the super-cute baby sheep. If you prefer machines to small fluffy things, you can check out the collection of antique farm machinery. The walled garden is always a joy to walk around, even if it is impossible to avoid the noise of the motorway that lurks just over the wall. It is really cheap to visit (£1.75 for adults, £1.25 for kids) and it makes a fun way to pass a Saturday afternoon. Just watch out for the moody peacock that patrols the farmyard, that dude has an attitude!

After experiencing the wonder of Forge Mill Farm, I had to take a bigger step at my farming life…read moreand Sandwell Park Farm was right there! Just perfect! Let's be honest, from where I live, in Walsall, I have the whole Sandwell Valley area just around the corner and I'm glad to have some many different attractions (30 or or even 15 minutes, far from my house) to choose and go! Sometimes for free or sometimes for a very cheap admission like at Sandwell Park Farm. I simply can not believe that for only £ 2 children or adults have this very educative experience and a lovely time out! No excuses to stay in your won back garden during the summer, by the way. Sandwell Park Farm is a children friendly point, obviously. Cattles, sheep and other animals that we usually see only, from our cars, when we take the motorways straight to the countryside! It's also a huge are for a good picnic. Kids love and adults learn!

Went for life drawing during my time at the University. It's good place to go and see animals you…read moresee on tv from different countries all over the world. For me it was very helpful going and do drawings of animals and you have the Dudley Castle next to it. Very relaxing, especially on a sunny day. Was a little busy when I went, lots of families having day out. I didn't know about this place before started University. Bus takes you right opposite the Zoo from city centre. Would love to go again sometime.

Dudley Zoo has, like many things in the midlands, got a lot of bad press. Don't get me wrong, it's…read morenot in the same league as some of the more famous zoo's in the UK but it's slap bang in the middle of Dudley. I've been twice now over the last 6 years and on my second visit I easily noticed a massive improvement in the quality of the enclosures and the general well-being of the animals. Being centred around Dudley Castle the zoo is subject to a hefty amount of inclines so be prepared and wear some sensible shoes. There's plenty of parking and is easy to get to via public transport and at £14 (ish) entry for an adult it's quite reasonable. This small, yet perfectly formed, zoo is home to snow leopards, red pandas, all the big cats, primates, reptiles, birds and more including a very chatty raven! I'd wholeheartedly recommend Dudley Zoo to anybody looking for an animal packed day out in the black country!

Had great fun here for my brother's birthday with a couple of mates…read more Small carpark out front and easy check in- though do remember you'll need a little time for this- people who've climbed more often can check in novices and it's good for a range of abilities. I was stupid enough to go still with stupid long nails, so as a little point i'll say maybe don't do that yourselves to make the most of your time £10 for a day pass (I think 8 for members maybe?). There's a little cafe with cake, toasties, hot and cold drinks (soy etc available), basic changing rooms, loos, car park, and they do hold classes too. They provide little chalk bags, and let you get on with it on a range of colour coded courses, downstairs, and the small upstairs. The crash mats are generously deep and squishy, and there are some good challenges to get your fingertips stuck into. It was cold, which is the nature of the building, so i'd advise a hoodie you can take off once you're into it in the winter. I don't know how warm it gets in the summer months.

The whole experience of farming for a day is the Sandwell Mill Farm allows the visitors to get close to a range of animals exploring a bit more about the agricultural environment. For the kids it literally means having a lot of fun feeding some cows, goats, poultries and ponies. There is a gift shop where you can also find some bag of food especially prepared for these animals, by the way. If the weather helps, it's highly recommended to bring your own food. I remember not resisting some ice cream cone in my visit to Forge Mill farm, but I just wouldn't repeat the experience of eating next to the cows again because the strong smell of farm animals and food are not a good combination. The park is huge and there is space for even picnics, anyway! They are open every day, for 10 pm to 4.30pm and I think you are going to love the whole experience.
