Visitors can enjoy a picnic in the park and explore Thurstaston Common, which is the site of an ancient stone circle, Thor’s Rock.

The park is also home to Church Farm which is an ideal day out for kids. Here, you will find a variety of animals including sheep, goats and pigs.
The Oval Sports Centre
A town famed for its industrial history and beautiful green spaces, Bebington’s attractions are as varied as its landscape. Whether visiting the unique Port Sunlight village, designed in the late 19th century to house soap factory workers, or the Lady Lever Art Gallery featuring one of britain’s most significant collections of Wedgwood china, there is something for everyone here.
For those looking to stay active, the Oval Sports Centre offers a range of facilities from a swimming pool and health and fitness gym to an athletics track and even a dry ski slope! This is a fantastic centre to bring the kids for a fun day out in Wirral.
Linghams Heswall
Linghams Bookshop is one of the best independent bookshops in the Wirral. The store offers a wide selection of books and hosts events with authors. They also sell local food. They have a branch in Heswall and a deli in West Kirby.
The Port Sunlight Garden Village is a unique historic attraction with many interesting buildings. It is also home to the Lady Lever Art Gallery, which has one of the largest collections of Wedgwood China.
The Oval Sports Centre may be better known for its contribution to the Chariots of Fire movie, but it also has a dry ski slope and a skiing club that provides lessons for all levels. Alternatively, you can visit the nearby beach at Royden Park. It has open woodland that is perfect for a family stroll.
New Palace and Adventureland
New Palace and Adventureland on the famous Promenade in New Brighton offers a tremendous range of family fun-filled entertainment. This family arcade features a traditional outdoor funfair and state-of-the-art video driving, adventure and shooting simulators. It also offers a variety of traditional games like pushers, dance and slots.
Upon entering Adventureland, park visitors are immediately greeted by a stunning glass building that was designed to replicate the Crystal Palace of nineteenth-century England. The structure is a fitting transition from the world of Main Street, USA to the mysterious jungles and temples of Asia and Africa.
The park’s second largest games area is Dragon Island, which was built in 1980. While County Fair and Alpine play upbeat music, Dragon Island has a more mellow atmosphere with slow music without vocals.
