There's a lot of museums. City centre is not as big or interesting as Manchester, but still very good
We'd last been at the Zoo 5 years ago and I was amazed at how much it seemed to have grown and we were well lucky and saw the baby Orang-utan when we were on the boat trip (Top advice about heading straight there though. We parked up as the zoo opened and went direct to the boats so we only waited about 5 minutes to get on...by the time we left the queues looked to be about an hour.)
We were staying in a barn conversion at the end of the M56 so pretty much the bottom of Ellesmere Port but we ventured into Chester for a couple of dinners which was nice.
The one thing that struck me, and I hope it doesn't sound condescending or judgemental, was how friendly people were...even in the Ellesmere Port Tesco Metro where the cheese was security tagged.
Would definitely head back that way again and would like to visit Liverpool as it's probably the biggest place in the UK that I haven't been before.
Liverpool is worth a visit, the older museums are better than the new. The beatles exhibits are usually a let-down
the "ropewalks" area (Bold St) is much more interesting than the new shopping area
All the shopping areas are uncovered except for an old 60s skanky place, so don't go in the cold or rain
If you go in the summer, try West Kirby beach or Parkgate
Chester that is, not the Zoo specifically
