Got my nephew for the day tomorrow.

We were thinking of taking him to Blackpool Zoo but looking at the weather it looks like it may be a wet one.

Any ideas where to go with a soon to be 3yr old?
Needs to be max hour & half drive from Burnley.
Don't fancy a "soft play" as he does that regularly anyway.

My son is 3.
I took him to the sea life center last week at the Trafford center and he loved it. They do a deal for entry into Lego land next door too

Take him to see some proper steam trains...he'll love that.

East Lancs or Worth Valley

Weather is always better at the coast, Blackpool forecast for tomorrow looks ok - I'd stick with the Zoo!

I always take a quick look at this site whenever I have my grandchildren.

Farm tots
Gruffalo Spotters
Little Ducklings Nature Tots

All look good to me for a three year old.

Gruffalo Trail at Gisburn Forest is excellent, only about an hour or so if you drag it out though.

Thanks for all suggestions

Decided on the SeaLife/Lego combo
Both myself & Mrs W are struggling with cough/colds and don't fancy getting wet & cold
