The best shopping trips for kids - A look back to when Metroland opened
Quick Glance: A Nostalgic Journey into Metroland's Past
  • Mention a shopping trip and many kids may reluctantly follow along, unless a toy department awaits.

  • In February 1988, Metroland opened at the Metrocentre in Gateshead, proving to be a groundbreaking experience. An explosion of colors and sounds, the £20 million enclosed theme park featured attractions like a rollercoaster and some truly frightening swing rides where kids zoomed overhead with legs flapping in the air.

  • Now, as this month marks 36 years since its spectacular opening, we reflect on the exciting Metroland days with archival images showcasing the main attractions of what was then Europe's largest indoor amusement park.

  • Its closure in 2008, with the final weekend on April 20-21 signaling the end of an era, was met with protests from loyal fans. However, the attraction closed its doors at 8pm after the last day of fun during its Farewell Weekend.

  • Gateshead Council has taken action against owners OM Properties Investment Company Limited and is moving forward with demolition plans. The owners have indicated their intention to repair the building.
