Ellesmere Port Boat Museum
The Ellesmere Port Boat Museum located at the end of the Shropshire Union Canal was once a busy docks area. The numerous exhibitions housed in old or recreated buildings such as the Toll House, are crammed with photographs and living history stories of canal people of the past who worked the cut. Recreations of dockworkers cottages and working exhibitions of restored steam, diesel and gas engines are on show in the Power Hall and Pump House. It really does work hard this museum to explore the social history of canals, rather than just recounting one industrial date after another - so it is something particularly special. There's an archive centre on site as well if you fancy digging deeper into canal history.

Blue Planet Aquarium
Like The Deep in Hull, Blue Planet Aquarium does not disappoint. Thrilling experiences to be had here walking through one of the longest underwater tunnels, where you can look up and see 'Shakey the Shark' in denims. There's a poisonous frogs exhibition - including the Golden Dart Frog and plenty of free face painting, guided tours and intermittent fish feeds. Visit the Caribbean Reef, packed with hundreds of coloured fish.
