Review of Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World in Telford, with animal encounters, feeding talks, dinosaurs, value tips, and practical advice for families.

“I came in with my nephew, we loved looking at the animals, we did however think that the ‘Feed the baby T-Rex’ activity was not suitable for younger children, it was very loud and overwhelming, it may be more suitable for children aged over 6, my 3 year old nephew found it very distressing”

2.5-Hours Walking Tour of Birmingham into Black Heritage Madiba

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $19

Explore Birmingham’s Black heritage on a small-group walk through Soho House, Handsworth Park, music, migration, and Mandela’s local connections.

“Our tour guide, Marcia was well versed and knowledgeable about Black History in Birmingham and showed us local sights while giving us plenty of background to understand what we were seeing and how it fit with Black Heritage. She is a product of that history and you can tell how important it is to her. This tour gives a great overview and a lot of information was packed into the well paced 2.5 hours but there is so much more to see and learn. The value truly exceeded the price and my expectations. I would return to take other tours with Marcia. A highlight of my trip to Birmingham.”
