It divides them, in the best way. The Anderton Boat Lift — a machine that hoists boats between waterways, as the name half-explains — rates 4.5 with families and is flagged for indoor as well as outdoor space, so it isn't a fair-weather-only stop. Mechanically minded children are transfixed; others give it ten polite minutes. You likely know which yours are.

Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience is an outdoor, walk-through woodland event rather than a drop-in attraction, so confirm dates and availability before travelling instead of chancing it on the day. It suits fans old enough to walk a full trail and stay up for the spectacle. Dress for a Cheshire forest, because that is exactly where you'll be.
