Local favourites, LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and Treetop Trek Manchester have been revealed as winners in Day Out With The Kids’ first Family Favourites Awards this week.

Designed to specifically recognise the attractions excelling in the family travel and leisure sector, over 20,000 votes from members of the public helped to crown the 2018 winners.

Regional competitions across the UK saw Manchester attractions pitted against other days out in the North West, with two winning the public vote to take the title.

LEGOLAND®️ Discovery Centre, which is home to 14 different zones based on the nation’s favourite bricks, was crowned the Best day out for under 5s, whilst Treetop Trek Manchester, an energetic high ropes course over Heaton Park, was voted the Best active day out.

Elsewhere in the North West, Chester Zoo won Best event at an attraction for Wild Woods, Knowsley Safari Park won Best animal day out, and Otterspool Adventure in Merseyside won both Best FREE family day out and Best educational day out.

Runners up in Greater Manchester included the Museum of Science and Industry, Smithills Open Farm and Chill Factore which were all in the running as finalists.

Lisa O’Keeffe, Brand Manager at www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk, said: “We’ve been blown away by the fantastic response to our first Family Favourites Awards programme, designed to recognise the attractions going the extra mile to provide a truly memorable family day out.

“Manchester is one of the biggest cities in the UK with a host of fantastic family attractions, so we’re thrilled to be able to crown LEGOLAND Discovery Centre and Treetop Trek amongst our Family Favourites Awards.”
