Many groups opt to take a day to themselves during their stay with us to explore the island , go shopping or sight seeing.

Best contact is Lynn.McKibbin@mnh.im she can organise visit permits to most heritage sites and also send you risk assessments if you need them.
If you have National Trust, or English Heritage cards bring these as you get free entry into museums and national heritage sites. If you pre book children are generally free.
Places to visit
Trip to Laxey wheel
For a good half day out take the bus (10 minutes walk from The Centre ) visit Laxey wheel and then rerun to the venture Centre by tram. Tram stop is adjacent to the Venture Centre.
If you head to Douglas after the Laxey wheel visit either by tram or bus then this will make it a ful day out.
Peel
Ask the Venture Centre to drop you at the bus station in Ramsey. Then take the bus to Peel visiting the house of Mannanan approx 90 minutes , ice cream shop , Peel castle If you like castles , or just walk around the outside of it. This will fill a long afternoon.
