FOR any parents out there who are planning a day trip for your little treasures during the summer holidays, have a look at where you are going before you commit yourself to buying any tickets.

I had a look at www.altontowers.com which was very inspiring and made me want to go -- for the sixth time.

The site is full of explosive graphics that is designed to make sure that you can make the most of your day out by answering any queries you may have on the site, including answers about disabled facilities and details of how to actually get there.

The site will also help bored children pass by some dragging time by preparing for the big day out.
