Days Out - August 2006

I've got 4th-21st off work. I don't want to go abroad but I do want some days out in England. I live in Lincolnshire (half way down the east coast of England, for those who don't know) so am pretty central for most things.
Anyone got any suggestions for days out? I love zoos - which are the best? - and my boyfriend's into science-y kinda things, if that helps anywhere. We went to the Peak District last summer and loved it, so country parks and that kinda thing would be good for picnics.
All suggestions gratefully received!

In Norfolk you can go on a boat trip round the marshes, and the countryside round there is pretty.
Look online for the current exhibitions in London's museums and see if anything catches your attention. You could combine that with a musical, ballet, opera or concert in the evening.
New Forest in Hampshire for a picnic.
If Cornwall's not too far for you (you could have a mini break?), your boyfriend would probably like the Eden Project. And the Seal Sanctuary might well be your cup of tea.
alton towers?
sherwood forest?
eureka.
Or the National Space Centre in Leicester.
Or popping into London for the day, maybe making it a weekend where you could go to the Science Museum (which I love) and London Zoo and have the best of both worlds.
Hehe, we went to Legoland at Easter - was awesome!
The bf also keeps banging on about the National Space Centre too so that looks like it's going on the list!
Definitely more for the list - he wants to live in Alton village eventually! I'd thought of Twycross, just didn't know if it was any good.
