I’m currently all for experiences over physical gifts as I literally don’t think we could wedge one more thing into our son’s playroom. His play area has even expanded to a landing upstairs and enough is enough. I think we need to focus even more now on doing things with him and creating memories rather […]
There are usually rainy days or cold days when we all struggle for something to do with the kids. I have put together this post full of days out for when the weather just isn’t being kind to us. Most of my suggestions are indoor things to do but some may have outdoor elements as […]
The pandemic certainly put some doubt into the renovation of the splash pad in East Park, Hull. We are pleased to say that it is now finished and it is excellent. Despite the cold, my son had a great time splashing about and the best thing about it is that it is HUGE! Like all […]
We dithered and we dithered about booking to stay at Universal, in fact about even visiting Universal in Florida at all. I am so glad we did though as it was one of our favourite parts of the holiday. I’m also glad that we booked to stay at a Universal hotel as the bus transport […]
Did you know that Denmark is the home of LEGO? It was first invented in Billund in 1932 and it is still owned today by the same family. The name LEGO is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt” which means “play well”. Many LEGO sets are still made today in Billund. We […]
Ripleys Believe it or Not has around 29 museums worldwide where you can marvel at hundreds of unusual artefacts. My son has been wanting to visit one for ages. Luckily for him, Ripleys Believe it or Not is included in the Copenhagen Card that we had bought for our stay in Denmark. We managed to […]
On our Easter break to Denmark, we stayed 5 nights at the Copenhagen Marriott Hotel. This is a fabulous waterside hotel located in the city centre of Copenhagen. We were a few minutes walk from the main restaurant district and attractions so we didn’t need a car for the duration of our stay. Bike riding […]
LEGO’s first-ever attraction opened at Billund in Denmark. Billund is the home of LEGO where it was first invented. LEGOLAND Billund Resort is home to a large theme park with a great range of rides which are suitable for toddlers through to young teenagers. The LEGOLAND Billund Resort has two hotels and a holiday village. […]
We loved our visit to LEGOLAND at Billund in Denmark. The LEGOLAND Billund Resort is the original LEGOLAND par and it was opened on 7 June 1968 in Billund, Denmark. LEGO was invented by a Danish carpenter in Billund in 1930 so if you are a LEGO fan then this is the place to visit! All […]
Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark is centrally located in the city and is very easy to get to. When we first realised where it was located we couldn’t believe it. It is right in the heart of the city amongst shops and restaurants. Tivoli Gardens is surrounded by a large and very high wall and […]
As well as having some wonderful properties to visit the National Trust also have some of the best adventure playgrounds in the UK. This post rounds up 20 of the best National Trust playgrounds. I often think about what fun it would be to go on a tour of National Trust properties around the UK. […]
Last June we stayed at Woodland Lakes Lodges on the outskirts of Thirsk in North Yorkshire. It’s a great base to explore the local area and we were only a short drive from Monk Park Farm and Sutton Bank Visitor Centre. The site has a range of wooden lodges although our lodge was more like […]
