The Falconers Quest was absolutely amazing."
The LEGOLAND Discovery Centre is similarly highly-rated, with one five-star review coming off the back of a Multi-Attraction Ticket: "We went to Birmingham for a few days. We bought a multiple attraction ticket. The LEGO Discovery centre in fantastic. Lots to do. I would go so far as to say it's better than legoland itself but I'm sure there'll be some disagreeing with me. I do recommend going for multiple attraction ticket. You won't regret it!"
Chocolate lovers are sure to have a fantastic time at Cadbury World, too. "We had a wonderful afternoon here! We drew pictures with melted chocolate, met some well-known cadbury's charaters, had a fantastic 4D cinema experience, and bought tons of chocolate treats from the Cadbury shop!".
