Tourist attraction in Dudley

“Absolutely fantastic! Mark the guide was brilliantly hilarious, so much history to learn and hear about, it was truly fascinating! I recommend this to anyone interested in history or who just fancy something a bit different”

“Held a kids' 9th birthday party making pizzas. Absolutely fantastic! Lilly was an exceptional host. Nothing was too much trouble and made the whole experience fun for everyone! Definitely would do this again, highly recommended!”

“Pars cafe food beautiful staff are so friendly and polite, lots to choose from menu open 7am everyday accept Sundays”

“Excellent selection of animals to see and lots of interactive habitats like the Lemur Woods. The train is a cool touch too! Prepare yourself for a lot of uphill climbing throughout the day if you're bringing toddlers! Unfortunately some exibit closures during our visit in preparation for Christmas, and the rides and pop-up restaurant stands were closed. There are vending machines dotted around but they're all coin-only so pretty useless.”

“got my PS4 from here great price cheaper then CEX by a long shot. had a few problems but all sorted quickly and effectively. defiantly worth a look before marching into CEX !”

“Absolutely through the roof with these guys customer service was 10 out of 10 they had many different options available. I didn’t feel any pressure from the salesman left me to make a decision which was nice. I would definitely recommend this place. Delivery was available ASAP.”

“Not my first visit and certainly won’t be my last, but by far some of the best chip shop food you can buy. Exceptional value. I had a large mixed meat and chips. All fresh, hot, and a generous portion. I sometimes order from other chip shops depending where I am, and the food here is a completely different league. Highly recommended! (Very friendly staff too)”

“WOW! A new addition to the area! Food was amazing. Authentic. Tasted phenomenal! They even tweaked the order to my liking. Service with a smile and great energy! Good luck guys!!”

“The only way my experience would have been improved would be more time. There is so much to see and explore. Staff are very helpful, friendly and welcoming (thank you Kevin!). Buildings have been gathered and rebuilt on site to represent several periods of the Black Country's history. Victorian Era, 1930's and '40's, and into the '50's and '60's. The garage near the entrance has a grand collection of cars, trucks, motorcycles and more. I did have time for a glass of cider at Vaults in the Elephant & Castle. They have hands on workshops to make nails and Bricks. If you didn't already know, a lot of filming for the Peaky Blinders show has been done here. I imagine a fan of the show will recognize locations at the museum. Nov 26, 25 C&J”

“Beautiful place. Canals, lakes & ponds home to many types of wildlife friendly visitor centre open Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Wednesday 10-20”

“One of many beautiful functions from the lodge. Thankyou for a wonderful afternoon for my baby shower with wonderful food and staff as always❤️. Nothing is ever too much trouble & everything is always so perfect. Thankyou as always :)”

“Incredible professional and easy experience easy access with ease of parking and a friendly environment upon entering i was completely satisfied with the services offered and even opted for a face steamer service which has really helped my skin. Overall if anyone around the West Midlands area is in need of a new barber which offers sound entertainment and a safe and easy environment then look no further. This will easily be staying now as my regular barbershop.”

“Great Victorian park with cafe, lake, bowling green, paved walks, benches and bandstand. Extensive playground, car park close by football pitches. Main gate modelled on Buckingham Palace”

“Great local pub, brewing it's own ales and offering some fabulous food, cooked by a passionate kitchen team... always guaranteed a warm welcome”

“It's a wonderful park for walking, cycling, jogging etc. It has a tennis court as well as a football ground .”

“Great scenic place to walk around and get some great photos. For the most part, it is nice and quiet and only occasionally see people walking around through the trees. The exception is where there are roads nearby, where the day I went, there was a tatter scrap truck driving around with its siren call on full blast, which ruins the whole experience. The most popular area would be the bright quarry where you'll find plenty of fossils. To walk around the whole reserve is quite the workout, and there are steps leading to different parts, but the steps can be very steep and hard to climb. As you continue down into the reserve, there are parts where it goes to its lowest point that doesn't get much sunlight, so the ground may be muddy, but it's very nice around here. The alternative to this is to climb the steps to the highest points where you'll be able to see for miles. Had not been here for many years, but it's relatively unchanged. The only real letdown (and biggest change) is the Seven Sisters Caverns (or caves). The council has blocked off and filled in all the caverns with fences and rocks. They have ruined a historical landmark. Like the fences should be enough to keep people out, but to fill in caverns is just out of order. There used to be cave exploration parties in the past, but now is just a thing of the past. What's funny is the caverns are fenced off, but if you walk around through the trees, there are many many spots where there are considerable drops into very deep ditches that are just out in the open and not fenced off at all. If you fall through some of these, you're going to get hurt badly. Just stick to the path though, and you'll be fine. As for the quarry with fossils, I last went here over 25 years ago, and it might have been my mind playing tricks on me, but if you don't like spiders, then don't walk around the quarry towards the evening, as I remember seeing all the rocks suddenly swarm with hundreds of tiny spiders. In the daytime, though, you probably won't see any. The whole area is well worth the visit, and feels like a different country away from the normal everyday life of Dudley.”

“What a beautiful place for a walk and the visitor centre is superb and had a nice cup of Earl Grey (my favourite),they are really friendly people and welcome (well behaved) dogs. Went there with our 2 year old Dobermann and Drone camera to get some pics and had a wonderful morning .”

“Attended a private function at the Gongoozler and had a fabulous time. Really friendly and hard working staff. The buffet put on was great and the drinks service was good. Nice selection of local ales available. Really lovely location on the canal edge overlooking the BCLM. Wheelchair accessible as a 96 year old relative had no trouble accessing the venue in her wheelchair. Plenty of parking with an honesty box for donations.”

“First time in this little pub great people friendly staff nice little gem”

“Thought I’d give it a try after going there after going something like 20 years ago. I thought I’d made a mistake until the food came and I demolished it. I had full English breakfast with coffee. 5 star and thoroughly enjoyed it. And best of all was the price. I mentioned when I left that it was fantastic and very cheap. Thanks girls. No doubt I’ll see you again.”

“Amazing food, great service, will be back again!”

“Really nice place with great beer and the young couple running it get top marks from my wife and I.Hopefully they will be successful in making a good living from running it.The Plum Porter was especially good.”

“Very quiet. Not so much a park but what was left of the countryside before they built a huge housing estate. It’s all up hill or down hill. A few benches. Small play area with climbing frames. A bowling green. Tennis courts. I was in the area but I couldn’t see myself ever travelling there on purpose.”

“The staff are always polite and welcoming food always on point and consistently full of flavor, you can tell there isn't different different people cooking. Ordered take away and they went above and beyond, the portion sizes are excellent always some left over to go back and eat later lol. Have also sat in to eat and the atmosphere is chilled and relaxed but professional. Eating area always clean and tidy. Highly recommend this place.”

“Ordered on Uber eats food was fresh and hot can't fault them will defo be back!”

“Amazing fish and chips ! Probably some of the best we’ve ever eaten . We went on a Saturday during storm Amy, queue wasn’t too bad about 10 minute wait but it’s all part of the experience as you take in your surroundings. Would make the journey again just for this food !”

“The service is always nice and I always have decent food from here.”

“Absolutely love Chiquitos. This was our first time at Dudley Chiquitos and we weren’t disappointed. Chris was absolutely amazing and his attention to detail made us feel really valued. Thank you for such a wonderful evening and making our night! Can’t wait to visit again :)”
