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

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.

http://www.visitlancashire.com/whats-on ... 2017-07-10" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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
