Then transition to the animal exhibits, including lion enclosures, giraffe parks, and reptile centers. There are also cable cars, sea lion shows, and opportunities to meet meerkats or feed giraffes. Arrive early to make the most of this exciting attraction.
3. National Railway Museum:
- Located in York, this museum houses iconic locomotives and an unrivaled collection of railway history. Admission is free, making it a great educational and family-friendly outing.
