    There is a recommendation on youstayuk but it's not all that informative.

    It's somewhere I've not been to, even though it's only 45 minutes away. Now the boy is 4 I'll have to take him soon.

    Yes, I have. I've been to Kenedy space centre in Florida, and that was mind blowing. Don't expect it to be anything like that, but Leicester is supposed to be really interesting and educational, especially for kids

    i live about 4 mins away from it!
    its is very interesting but theres not enough there for a whole day. there are lots of different things to see and take part in a cafe and gift shop.
    i would recommend if you have time a visit to the new walk museum too(its in the city center) its free addmission and theres art stuff and dinosaur skeletons,an egyption exhibition with real mummies and until september they have a tempory animation exhibition
    "Animated Adventures showcases many of the incredible handcrafted sets and models from Aardman and DreamWorks' feature film Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit. Enjoy a rare, behind-the-scenes insight into how Aardman, and other featured animators, create their characters. From storyboards and set design to cel painting, stop frame and CGI technology, learn top tips from the industry and then have a go at creating your own animations"
    well worth a visit!
