We took our 6 and 9 year old daughters on the Santa trip last week. From start to finish the whole experience was planned perfectly. The boat trip was great, with festive music and wonderfully lit up tunnels, with a fun and entertaining panto in the middle. Santa was great, talkative and friendly. Great coffee for the adults and a gift shop at the end. 100% recommend for a special Santa visit. Will be returning in the summer for a historic tour.
Visited the tunnels on a Saturday, was a very interesting experience. We got our tickets at the office downstairs where you can also get souvenirs, tickets cost £10 per person. Our scheduled boarding time was 2.20 while the boat set off at 2.30. We were told so many amazing stories of how the tunnels worked back in the days , saw some amazing clips and so many more. Definitely a worthwhile experience for adults and children. There is also a restaurant where you can grab a bite.
We visited for the Tots Tunnels morning on a Wednesday. It was really well organised, the trip was brilliant with nursery rhymes and a story. All of this was only £1 too, which is just amazing! The cafe was brilliant - it was clean and the coffee and cake were delicious. It was really busy but the staff were excellent, they were friendly and efficient and we didn't have to wait long at all. We will definitely visit again!
We know that some people might be nervous of heading into the darkness underground. If this applies to someone in your group, please be assured that the boats have lights fitted which are left on for most of the trip, and can be kept on if necessary – please let us know before you visit. We can also provide a ‘magic lantern’ for guests to borrow free of charge for their trip which we’ve found can help them feel braver when taking the trip underground. These lanterns have a soft and reassuring glow. Please get in touch before you visit if you think you may wish to borrow a lantern and we can have it ready for you when you arrive. Visual Impairments Our boat tour is available with special narration for the visually impaired by prior booking only – please give us a call to book. Hearing Impairments The boat tour is available in a written format for people with hearing impairment. Please enquire before your visit so we can ensure one is waiting for you on the day of your visit. A hearing loop is available in The Gongoozler, at the ticket desk and in our function room. Please set devices to T. Quieter Boat Trips We appreciate that some individuals may find crowds and noise distressing. Our quieter times are midweek during term time. Our quietest 45 minute boat trips are in the morning at 10.30 and 11.00 however we do have pre-booked school groups visiting on some days, so please ring before your visit for more information.
We went on one of the Christmas canal boat excursions and it was great. As we went along the tunnels the guide gave us a run through of how Christmas was back in certain time periods while going through themed tunnels!! Half way through there was a little panto performed in the tunnels which was a nice little treat!! At the end of the tour we were guided to meet Santa and a free coffee and mince pie for the adults all included in the price! Santa was jolly and the gift was surprisingly good I took children aged 8 and 10 and again all included in the price!! Coffee wasn't the best but for free and on a cold rainy day I'm not complaining . The whole experience from start to finish was about 1 and a half hours, and was very good value for money. If going in the winter, definitely wrap up warm as it's chilly in the tunnels!! Would definitely recommend to anyone for a family and purse friendly experience
Really nice ride though the tunnel with commentary along the way with a short video projection half way through. Colours look brilliant reflected against the water and the light streaming through the ceiling vent looked stunning . If you can , get at the front of boat as I think personally its the best place. Shop on site and cafe.
What an amazing hidden gem... was not sure what to expect but had such a great time. The tour guide is absolutely hilarious and so full of interesting knowledge. The tour captures so much of the black country's underground history and it is definetly recommended with or without the kids.. it gets quite dark at parts so some of the younger children got a bit scared.. but overall they also enjoyed it. A nice little play area for the children whilst you wait for the boat and after.. Its a really nice activity to do on a hot day as all the underground parts are so nice and cool like your in an air conditioned location.. I really enjoyed it and will definetly go again. Love the fact that with one purchase I can go back for 12 months as many times. A must see..
Nice and unusual boat ride. Well worth the £10 ticket. Unsuitable if you have claustrophobia. The guide guys makes it fun however some of the fellow passenrgers found the dark humour about child labour weird.
Fantastic Christmas event! Great experience from start to finish. Really good fun on the barge and the panto was very entertaining. We will be back next year!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Second time we have visited, this time we used our return visit pass so it was free this, one of the last bargains on earth. All the staff from the car park, ticket office and within the whole vue.. thank you so much everyone.
