Transport yourself around the Midlands this Autumn My children, like a huge number of others, went through a period when they were obsessed with vehicles and ‘things that go’! If you find yourself in the middle of this phase at the moment with your little one (or perhaps just fancy a day out somewhere different) here are some ideas for you: Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum Birmingham has always been a city in motion, but what made it such a major hub of transport during the industrial revolution? Find out first hand by seeing some of the remarkable machines that made it all happen. See the iconic Spitfire and Hurricane hanging above your head. Stand behind the controls of the massive City of Birmingham Steam locomotive and find out how it works. See the amazing Railton Land Speed Car and, watch a film of it travelling at 394 miles per hour. www.birminghammuseums.org.uk Wythall Transport Museum Wythall is one of the most outstanding transport museums in the UK. The museum site, ex RAF Wythall and based in Chapel Lane, was acquired in February 1978. Buildings were opened in 1980, 1990, 2007 and 2012 to meet the Trust's determination to have a roof over all its vehicles and subsequently to display their history. A great day out for all the family young and old. www.wythall.org.uk Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Resort With over 25 rides and attractions, there’s so much for Thomas fans to explore on The Island of Sodor at Drayton Manor. Whether you fancy a trip down Sodor Railway with Thomas, Rosie or Percy or you’d like to fly high with James, Harold and Jeremy, there are plenty of Thomas and friends themed attractions to explore. www.draytonmanor.co.uk Santa Express, GWR Your journey to the ‘North Pole’ will begin from Cheltenham Racecourse Station, from where you will travel by steam train to the North Pole (Winchcombe Station). Here you will be able to walk through a wonderland of lights, trees, and decorations and on to where Santa will be waiting to talk to all the children. www.gwsr.com 8 raring2go.co.uk Raring2go!
