What should I do with my teenagers is a question I see popping up time and time again. My honest answer, is to ask them what they'd like to do.
Located on the Lionheart estate in Alnwick, the Aln Valley Railway is an ambitious project which opened in 2012. It is looking like it is going to be an up and coming place for a family day out.

I paid Science at Life a visit with Jack (11), my brother Mark and nephew Evan (6) in the Easter holidays.
Life is a place I have visited many, many times before, especially when all three of my children were aged under 10 and I have many happy memories of visiting Dinosaurs, Doctor Who and Gaming exhibitions, Animals Inside Out, Brick Dinos and more over they years.
We did visit briefly during the pandemic when they had a limited section open to the public but it had been a good few years since our last proper full visit.
There are often posts in our Facebook group asking about what to expect here or if it's worth it. After visiting today, I can definitely say it is worth a visit. Hopefully this post will give you a little bit of an idea of what to expect from your visit.
