At Mann Cat Sanctuary, hundreds of fluffy felines and purr-fect pals roam freely across seven acres. With so much space the cats get to choose where they live, which encourages natural behaviour. Come with your family to say hello, and as entry is free the sanctuary asks for food donations instead. Top tip: You\u2019ll be the most popular human around if you bring some cat treats for tea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Grimm &amp; Co, Rotherham<\/p>\n<p>Hop on your brooms and put down your potions, Grimm &amp; Co in Rotherham is open for business.

It is a picturesque picture house tucked away in the Lincolnshire countryside, and is one of the only cinemas that still provides an interval; perfect for minimising your chances of missing the most important part of the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plantasia, Swansea <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not often that you find an attraction this proud of its plants, but at Plantasia, they\u2019re definitely the star of the show. Visit a rainforest in the middle of a city and discover a hothouse overflowing with exotic wildlife. This is an attraction where the plants and habitats take centre stage, but if you look closely you\u2019ll find plenty of animals too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mother Shipton\u2019s Cave, York <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover how the waterfall at Mother Shipton\u2019s Cave turns anything it touches into stone. This attraction has amazed visitors since 1630, and is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kiddyzone.co.uk\">fantastic day out for the whole family<\/a>. See for yourselves the teddy bears that have gradually turned to stone beneath the waterfall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gnome Reserve, Devon<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wander through four enchanted acres at The Gnome Reserve whilst wearing your very own gnome hats. Deep in the mystical woods you\u2019ll find an enormous collection of gnomes and pixies in some enchanting scenarios. They\u2019ll be hiding along the pathway, and peeking behind the trees, but can your kids spot all of them? <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mann Cat Sanctuary, Isle of Man Visit an attraction where the cats are in charge.
