Things to do near stoke

[ForssAwakens]

Going to Alton towers. Thinking of sleeping over to be closer for the first day. What is there to do in around the area to entertain 2 adults and a 3 year old. Outdoors or attractions etc

 

[Johnny Vincents Motorbike]

Turn round and go home.

thats always been the best option that ive exercised.

 

[WoodallServices]

Can you go down towards Windsor way and have and go to Legoland or something?

 

[SNICKERED]

Not true although entertainment for a 3 yr old and adults is a challenge... Best bet Nantwich outdoor Lido if in summer. Nantwich is fab as well for food etc. A bit of a drive though, where you staying exactly?
Also near the Peak District which is stunning.

Trentham Monkey Forests a laugh especially for kids and in Stoke area...
Somewhere different to eat...

Go to Alton Towers again. Although its grim, its the only thing worth doing anywhere near stoke - dreadful place.

Alton Tower's grim if you're old.
Another suggestion Peak Wildlife Park, which is close to Alton Towers... Take no notice of the haters.Staffordshire, and The Peaks has as much to offer as Yorkshire, apart from the coast.

Keep driving.

I think one day is enough at Alton towers. You'd be padding it out doing two. Then again I've not been for years.

I'm looking forward to blackpool pleasure Beach on my 2 day staycation for the footy.

No offence meant - one of my best mates is a Stokie and have been lots of times to see them there.
Enjoy your trip.
