Animal attractions are always favourites with children so it's no surprise that two zoos are included in a recent list of the top five North East attractions for a family day out over the school summer holidays.
What's perhaps more unusual is that a lesser-known clock museum in Northumberland also makes that list, which is compiled from Tripadvisor and Google reviews that rank the five venues highly in categories ranging from value-for-money to parking availability. Mr George’s Museum of Time is a family-run watch and clock museum in Haydon Bridge whose website proudly says: "We can guarantee you will never have visited anywhere quite like us!"
And it actually offers free entry for people to browse its treasures, which include cuckoo clocks and clockwork toys. Visitors who have tracked it down clearly love what they see, according to the findings of car dealership Brindley Group which looked into family attractions across the UK as they geared up for an increase in visitors over the summer.
