Opening hours in Midland, or something else?
An honest look at where it fits.
Sunday closes earlier than the rest of the week, which is the detail most often missed when a family plans a late afternoon.
Families searching from Midland are usually weighing one thing: whether it is worth the trip for an hour of something the children have not done before. The honest answer is that it depends on the child, and the rest of this page is about telling which.
