Took my kids to PPW. They loved it. Although we live about an hour away. My kids are now at an age where I wish I could do that stuff again so my old man advice is make the most of it with your little one Tel.
Tbf I was gonna drive to Drayton Manor to take my boy to Thomas Land but he suddenly went off trains n got into dinosaurs. Result.
We used to go to Crystal Palace park when I was a kid to see the dinosaurs. They are basically these concrete sculptures covered in algae that date back to around 1850. Pretty **** by today's standards.
Take him to Dan Yr Ogof in the Brecon Beacons .. Welsh show caves that also have a pretty good dinosaur display ... could combine with pony trekking which is nearby ... and if you go for a weekend, the Gower peninsula is only half an hour away
Watch out he doesn't fall in love with one of them over there. I spent 3 days there walking around the windows and fell in love at least 30 times, the women are incredible until you realise that Sweaty McFatfuck has just had a go on her 5 minutes before you see her
Or like me kept contemplating it, but in the back of your mind knowing that the last 3 days of just booze and drugs means the chances of you being able to perform are basically zero and popping a couple of viagras will mean you will most definitely have a massive heart attack. But doing it anyway
