For more exotic wildlife, the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis in Milnthorpe is also well worth a visit, offering much information and hand-on displays to educate the children. In Ulverston, head to the Lakes Aquarium, which even includes an underwater tunnel where children can watch the amazing diving ducks. For dad and the boys, much fun can be had at the Lakeland Motor Museum in Newby Bridge, offering around 30,000 exhibits in a lovely riverside setting.
Among the unusual and fun theme parks, Fuzzy Eds at the Owl and Pussycat is great. Located in Barrow In Furness, it includes a great indoor play area for those not-so-nice weather days and a specially dedicated toddler zone. Magic Castle Adventure Playground in Carlisle is another fun option, offering multi-level medieval-themed fun, including castles and moats and a great time for all ages.
