Dudley Canal and Caverns: what do users think?

jack haycox: Our guide was very informative and also good fun we had a great time. I even got to do the legging of a boatVisited on Weekend Wait time 10–30 min Reservation recommended Not sure …

Emilia Jakubowicz: Visited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes

bexxy: Lovely tour 45 mins long which for £12 is a bargain.Visited on Weekend Wait time 10–30 min Reservation recommended No …

Rebecca: We enjoyed a great boat trip through the Canal & Caverns, but it's definitely not suitable if you are claustrophobic as you do venture through some small, dark tunnels. However, it was interesting to learn the history of the caverns and to experience them up close.The one issue I would say is that our tour guide wasn't very easy to understand at times due to him speaking quietly and the sounds of the boat overpowering his voice, so we only heard the odd sentence. If the volume could be improved, this would be a 5 star trip.

Jack Poole: Great tour of historical caverns and tunnels around Dudley. Lots of information and lots of events happening throughout the year. Our tour guide was really funny and kept everyone entertained throughout the tour.Visited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes …

Kerry Fletcher: Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure

Charlye Sparx: The customer service line did not send me to the right place infact she was ludicrous I said I use busses and she suggested to order me a taxi at my own expense, very misunderstanding. The actual place is very pleasant, the café inside is incredibly inviting, the museum is small but engaging. Don't go on a rainy day because it still drips in the tunnel.

Thomas Walkerdine: Great run through dudley canal history

Dudley Zoo and Castle: what do users think?

Martin Harper: We had a grand day out at Dudley. Zoo. What really struck us was how well cared for and considered the animals were. There was thorough and interesting information available, and the various habitats were clean and thoughtful. The staff and volunteers were all helpful and happy to answer questions. The site itself is pretty unique based around a castle on a steep hill, so the paths wind their way up to the castle giving you a real sense of there being something really interesting just around the corner. It is clear from some of the dated and slightly tired buildings and infrastructure that the emphasis is on the animal’s welfare, and that’s fine by me.

Gul Autos: Nice for kidsVisited on Weekend Wait time 30–60 min Reservation recommended Yes …

Gemma Guttridge: Fed a tiger was amazing. Lovely clean place. Good selection of animals and the zoo worker who did our experience was very good and informative. Management should praise this individual. Really loves his jobVisited on Weekday Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Yes …

Priory Park: what do users think?

Billie Reece: Enjoyable morning walk

Brian Ely: We had a short visit to Dudley, had a stroll around the centre...an interesting mixture of old and new. As we were early to meet someone in Paganel Drive we left our car there and wandered around, not realising that we were in Priory park, interesting buildings surround the park and of special interest to us was a swathe of crocus under the trees a short distance from the ruins. Sadly I wasn't able to take photos for you to see as my screen decided to lock. We will definitely be heading back soon as there is a lot to see and do in the area. Not least Dudley Zoo and the Castle

Alexia Bin: Lovely park, we've had so many picnics with kids and friends!

BA Photography: Shot a wedding at the Priory Hall. Nice venue and the park and ruins make for a nice location to walk around and get some great couple's portraits.www.baphoto.co.uk

Sibangani Michael: It's an awesome place. Seeing a 1500 structure

Aisha Begum: You can walk your dogs here, can have picnic here as the park and gardens are really big and spacious also a castle to explore . Great scenery to.

kristian watts: I'm not sure where this is or when I went there, but my phone tells me I did, so who am I to argue

John Willis: This is a nice park, there's a nice playground for kids often they have summer events on here during the school holidays such as fun fairs and climbing walls etc. There is a little pond and considering how close you are to the town centre it's nice and quiet and peaceful. The priory ruins which are close to the park are a nice little walk with lots of history linked to them well worth a visit if you're passing, the area surrounding the park is not always the nicest so be mindful about leaving valuables on show in cars if you park up.They're are really good bus links here, easy links into Dudley and Wolverhampton from right outside the park.Just around the corner from the park they're also rentable tennis courts these have recently been refurbished.

Chris Paul: Absolutely memorable.

Lina J: Visited on Weekday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended No

Beenedius: A very beautiful canal with a great boat trip where you can hear about what the canals were used for in the past.

Andrew Nell: The Dudley canal tunnel was the highlight of a recent trip to the Black Country. It sounds a bit of a contradiction but there is just so much to see inside this dark tunnel. The excellent tour guide on the boat tells you so much of the history of the place, from the Jurassic age up to the Industrial Revolution. There is a very good visitor centre and free car park. It is something I have wanted to see for many years and it exceeded all my expectations. Highly recommended.

David Owen: now. Plenty of interaction from the member of staff. Even managed to eat a cob and drink a pint at the local school. Don't think the teacher was very please. Hence the Arrest by the local Bobby. a bit of a que for both chip shops and I have zero patience for that. but on the all, it was a entertaining evening filled with Brass Bands, Flame Jugglers and a bit of education thrown in to boot,

Michael Quinn: A great day out.

Explore With Son & Me: It’s an ok museum, a little unclear to find but it’s ok to spend half an hour in

Sam Hockey: Lovely little museum. It's just a few rooms upstairs in the Archives building, but enough to while away 30-60 minutes, I reckon. An impressive haul of fossils, dinosaur bones/models and some ice-age/early man exhibits. Some more local history stuff too, although it must be said those bits did less to capture my 2 year old's attention!

Deborah Woodall: My sister and I had a brilliant and very informative time at the museum. We have lived in the area all our lives but we're amazed at the thinks we learnt. Thank you so much to our guide, we will definitely be backVisited on Weekend Wait time No wait Reservation recommended Not sure …

Nina Powell: Great place to visit

Matt Orton: Love it here, as there is so much stuff to look at, and to learn more about local history.

Kris May (Jungle): My little one loved it - sadly Dudley Council closed it , they dont care about people now - only money :

Adrian Beasley: Shame about it closing down

Claire Marigold: My daugthers loved this place could spend all day in there likes the dinosours

stephen pearson: It's a historical part of Dudley and me and my family visit often.

ian batterbee: Excellent. Really informative

Wayne Bleszinski: A good amount of information about the local geographical area as well as local history. You can tell Dudley holds its past in high esteem which is nice to see they haven't neglected.Don't quite understand the room at the very back upstairs though, last time I went I saw thousands of my little pony's lined up in a collection, not sure that has anything to do with the Black Country.

Andy Parkes: Brilliant dinosaur exhibition. Animatronic raptor with sound effects grabs the attention and fires the imagination of the kids.

Hashem El-Hossamy: Going to close shortly. Better visit it now. Big dinasours locally
