Local parent insider tips

Before you set off

  • Check the tide before the beachCrosby's Iron Men are covered for about an hour either side of high water and the council warns of soft sand and mud, so stay within 50 metres of the promenade. At West Kirby, Hilbre Island is only reachable on a falling tide. Liverpool Gladstone Dock tide times cover both.
  • Book the big ones, turn up to the small onesThe safari park, the big soft plays and anything with a timed entry sell out in school holidays. Parks, beaches, most museums and the libraries never do. Every card says whether you need to book.
  • Train beats car for the coast and the centreMerseyrail stops next to the beach at Crosby, Freshfield and Southport, and under the museums at Liverpool Central. Under 5s travel free and a Saveaway covers the day after 9.30 on weekdays and all day at weekends.
  • How we checkEvery listing is rechecked against the venue's own website every week, and each card shows the date it was last confirmed. If something has changed since, the Tell us link on every page reaches a person who fixes it.

Prices shown are the lowest general admission per person on the venue's website on the day we checked. Free means the venue states general entry is free; a child going free with a paying adult does not count. Always check with the venue before you set off.
