BLACK COUNTRY LIVING MUSEUM REVIEWS

Excellent day out! You need the minimum of 4 hours to enjoy it all. So relaxed, it's was just so good for all ages. We enjoyed talking to the people we met, in their fabulous costumes.....all very realistic. You really do take a step back in time here. We had a fantastic day here. The canal & caverns barge trip is well worth it too! It's very clean everywhere, everyone was friendly and helpful with explanations on anything you ask. One of our best days out!

Fantastic day out for all. Myself and my husband love coming here. Staff are so knowledgeable. Loved the sausage and tomato cob from the butches and a cheeky cider in the pub, then delicious chips . Hadn't been given the market shops opened and have to say it was incredible well worth every penny. Black country Museum is amazing.

Great place to go for a day out.. not to expensive. Last time I went for about 5 years ago and when I went the other week they had add loads more to the place.. a whole new street in fact.. wanted chips but the que is always way too big. Good for all ages.

DUDLEY ZOO AND CASTLE REVIEWS

Easy to navigate, parking was easy. Wide variety of animals and the enclosures looked decent. You can walk with the lemurs and get real close and also animals experiences are available to buy. Food and toilet experiences available, can easily spend a full day here with how much there is to see and plenty of benches to rest on your day. Lovely experience and glad I got to see the giraffes. Also lovely gift shop selection at the end so come prepared.

Excellent zoo experience, everything was in easy walking distance. The compounds seemed to be appropriate sizes for the animals they contained. The historical castle ruins provide an excellent setting. One warning about this review: Dudley is my home town although I live in the home counties now, so I may be displaying unconscious bias.

A great zoo with plenty of animals & ones different to other zoos I have been too. Easy to get around & see everything. The castle ruins sit atop the hill looking down on the zoo. Also a museum exhibit detailing history of the castle. Enjoyed using the chairlifts down the hillside.

DUDLEY CANAL & TUNNEL TRUST REVIEWS

The Dudley canal tunnel was the highlight of a recent trip to the Black Country. It sounds a bit of a contradiction but there is just so much to see inside this dark tunnel. The excellent tour guide on the boat tells you so much of the history of the place, from the Jurassic age up to the Industrial Revolution. There is a very good visitor centre and free car park. It is something I have wanted to see for many years and it exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommended.

We really loved this experience! I can’t remember the name of the man touring us but he was the older gentleman and he cracked jokes and made it a lovely experience, filled with information and awe!

Brilliant trip, I loved it. Even had a go walking the barge along the tunnel. Thank you for your time and talk.
