I have had my eye on Turtle Bay in Nottingham for a while now. They have over 40 restaurants across the UK and are the only chain, on our shores, serving Caribbean food. It’s not a cuisine we eat much of so I was keen to try it out. I am a big fan of […]
It’s that time of year again. Time to start thinking and planning for the summer ahead. Why not consider a summer activity holiday abroad? Are you the kind of family that likes to get out and about and make life that little bit more epic? Then read on for ideas and inspiration. Today I’m bringing […]
This list was mostly made by our now nearly 9-year-old when he was 7. I have added a few myself afterwards but these are mostly his ideas and I feel they work pretty well for just about all ages. This is a UK-based list of all the ultimate summer bucket list things to do with […]
Sundown Adventureland in North Nottinghamshire is a great theme park for under 10s. During the winter they transform into one of the best places to meet Santa in the East Midlands. This is a review from a previous year and some aspects may not be the same this year. Please check their website. Sundown Marketplace […]
Kimmeridge Bay is another famous fossil-hunting beach. The cliff-top car park is privately owned so there is a charge to park. A short walk down a path will take you directly onto the beach, but take care it is slippy and rocky. Directly in front of you on the beach is a concrete gun turret. […]
In my opinion, one of the best Christmas days out is a visit to Stockeld Park. They even have a track that is only used in the winter for Nordic Skiing. I’m not sure there’s anywhere else in the UK where families can do this. They also happen to be very good at winter illuminations. […]
Visiting Sitges with kids is an experience you will all cherish forever. A Mediterranean pearl in Catalonia in Northeast Spain, it provides ample activities for children of all ages while offering sophistication for the adults. Sometimes, when we plan our family holidays, we focus so much on keeping the kids happy that the adults are […]
We are both self-employed and we have been for the 23 years that we have been together. Every Christmas, without fail, we take ourselves out for our ‘works’ Christmas lunch. For a couple that has eaten out probably more than most, this isn’t unusual for us. However, everyone needs a special Christmas lunch out right? […]
Here is a list of all the rides across the four Walt Disney World parks that have no height restrictions. This means that anyone can ride on this ride regardless of age. But does that also mean that these rides are appropriate for all ages? Read on for a brief description of each ride and […]
The first hotel we stayed at during our 3 week holiday to Florida was Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. This was a hotel we knew we really wanted to stay at but for us it was expensive so we only allowed a 2-night stay in our schedule. I was concerned that this wasn’t long enough to […]
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is a Deluxe resort hotel. We spent our first two nights of our Disney adventures there and it was not cheap! For our next Disney stay, we decided to stay somewhere a bit cheaper and chose to stay at a Moderate Resort. We chose The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness. Again […]
This post is all about the rides for families at Universal, Orlando Florida theme park with young kids (6 and under – although not all of the rides are suitable for toddlers). Read on to find out what each ride is like if there is a height restriction and the suitability of each ride for younger […]
