Happy Face 29 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 took a four year old last year and he liked it. Wouldn't bank on getting more than 2 hours out of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger, thought it was good for at least double that. Cheers anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Took the nephews last year, its good for kids under 12 I'd say, older kids would find it boring. Plenty to keep them entertained though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20517 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The CfL has regular exhibitions, like the Dr Who one a couple of years back. Probably worth going when one of these is on. Not really a teenager thing though. Iirc annual family memberships aren't much more than day tickets which makes them good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick the first two up from the pub when you are finished and you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenL 0 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Aye. Wouldn't dare go to the Centre of Life with me dad. Quite an age gap between them aswell. You'll regret that in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4484 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Had a great day out but imo the CFL is pretty crap. Arrived about an hour before opening so went to the Discovery museum which is great, particularly for nowt. No disneyland of course but a bit of something for everyone. Even the teenagers got into the spirit of the day and enjoyed some of the "old" newsreels about early life in the region during the 60's, 70's and 80's (Building of Kielder, the metro tunnels etc) . Havent been for a few years and you forget some of the canny stuff in there, the bridge building challenges etc. Then went to the CFL which as I say I thought was very poor by comparison. Currently has a grommit and wallace??? exhibition on which is crap. Planetarium was okay but the science show was for 6 year olds. Quite amazed they can get away with charging what they do for what there is. Anyway, over all a canny day out had with the added benefit of getting the front seats on the metro there and back. (Love being the train driver). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
