| Banham Zoo | We thoroughly enjoyed our day out at the zoo. The zoo had plenty of toilet facilities which was great and there were plenty of things to see. There were lots of available places to picnic, although I think we could have been in trouble if it was raining. We really enjoyed the bird display that they put on and we were very grateful for the trail booklets and pencils we received on arrival. It was just a shame they could not offer any educational workshops as they had building renovations going out. Overall it was a brilliant day out and was enjoyed by all who attended. | 06 July 2021 | |

| Black Country Living Museum | A fantastic trip and day out. Staff were excellent and the establishment was organised effectively in line with COVID safety. The children enjoyed the visit and there was lots learning opportunities throughout the day. For organisation, the children would have benefitted from smaller groups (7/8 chn) rather than 15 as getting them into shops etc was a squeeze but consideration would need to be considered for staff ticket costs. | 02 July 2021 | |
