Tamworth is home to one of Britain's best-known theme parks, Drayton Manor. The park offers high-octane roller coasters and thrill rides to delight older kids and teens, and the more sedate Thomas Land featuring everyone's favourite steam engine for little adventurers. There is also a zoo with tigers, meerkats, monkeys and many more amazing species. Drayton Manor has so much to see and do that it makes sense to pre-book the two day pass so you can really explore all the attractions that this world-class family entertainment hub has to offer.
If you're more interested in history than thrill rides, don't miss Tamworth Castle in the centre of the town. Journey through over 900 years of history as you make your way through the courtyards and rooms, each of which showcases a different era in the castle's history. Costumed guides are on hand to tell visitors all about the sieges and ghosts, or to point out hidden features you may otherwise miss.
One of Tamworth's more unusual attractions is the Snow Dome. Here, visitors can ski, snowboard, ice skate and toboggan, whatever the weather outside. Book a lesson if you're new to the sport, or brush up on your snowploughs or half-pipes if you're not. Climbing facilities and swimming pools are also on site.
