Advantages: Marvellous Engineering, free visitor centre Disadvantages: Expensive if taking a boat trip on th wheel
...the displays were hard to see and the heat was almost unbearable, but we were lucky as we had a lovely day to enjoy walking along the canal. There is a separate office on site to book holiday cruises, and it is possible to hire bikes to cycle along the canal. It was opened by HRH the Queen in May 2002.
Sadly there is a parking charge of £2.00 for the large car parks, which when added to the charges for the wheel makes a visit quite expensive for families. But free to people displaying disabled badges. It is worth booking a trip as we had to wait over two hours the day we went, although they had just got two larger electric trip boats seating about 70 people. Coaches book up in advance and so do school parties so that can cause queues. Boats leave every 30 minutes.
There is an Irn Bru fun factory play area for children 5 – 14 year old...

Thought to be a burial chamber for the residents of Cally house some years ago. You can learn more about the family by entering the museum which is situated in the house.Very interesting experience. If you make it Big in Falkirk April 30th and May 1st 2005, you will be able to get a free bus ride to the wheel. Not only that, you will have the chance to see the likes of Javine (Former pop idol contestant and she is representing the UK in the Eurovision song contest).
