We were so excited about the rides at Efteling in the Netherlands and they didn’t disappoint. We watched quite a few videos on YouTube to get our son used to the bigger thrill rides. The main reason was that he was tall enough for practically every ride there and that includes a big rollercoaster and […]
We stayed at Efteling for three nights and with our stay, we had tickets included for four days. With flights and work commitments, we managed to visit for three full days. On two of the three days, we managed to do just about everything bar one ride which we could have easily done on one […]
There is so much to discover in the Fairytale Forest at Efteling. So much so that I decided that it needed a full review. It’s a twisty-turning trail of discovery with plenty to be found. Everything is based on fairytales. The Fairytale Forest was once the main attraction at Efteling in the Netherlands. The park […]

Last summer I booked a glamping holiday for my son and I at Pinewood Park near Scarborough. I like to take him away just the two of us every year and this is what I chose for that year’s adventures. It’s a relatively small site with a range of glamping options plus a field for […]
Not so long ago the Skelf’s moved into the grounds of Castle Howard, North Yorkshire. Skelf Island is great fun and so is the adventure playground next to it. More on both of those below. We also love walking around the grounds of Castle Howard and without all the foreign tourists it felt eerily quiet. […]
