Dinotropolis is a new indoor attraction for children in Bluewater shopping centre, Kent. Situated in the Plaza, next to the Showcase cinema and up a flight of stairs, it’s well hidden to shoppers but when we went on the second Saturday that it had been open, it was already very busy. …
We have been going to the Christmas Grotto at Brookside Garden Centre in East Peckham, Kent ever since 2014. At the time, my oldest was one year old, and my youngest wasn’t even born! So you could say it’s become something of a family tradition. This year we will be making …
On Saturday, I took a trip London with Discover Leicester Square, to see what they have on offer for children and families over Christmas. It was just me and my oldest, who will be turning five in a few days. It was so easy. I had no fear she’d run …
During the half term holiday we visited the Historic Dockyard Chatham for the day, along with some friends and their children (all aged 3 and 4). Although it’s only a 45 minute drive from us in Tonbridge, we’d not yet visited despite there being some very proud naval history in …
We were offered tickets to review an attraction by 365tickets. Having never been to Legoland Windsor before, even as a child, and having some hardcore Lego fans in the house in the shape of my husband and my three and four year olds, I thought it would make a brilliant …

Paradise Wildlife Park is split roughly into halves with the entrance road separating …
Howletts Wild Animal Park in Bekesbourne near Canterbury, Kent is one of two wild animal parks in the area run by the Aspinall Foundation, a conservation charity; the other being Port Lympne in Hythe. Both of the parks run breeding programmes for some extremely endangered species, with an aim to …
Drusillas Park is somewhere that I haven’t been for well over 20 years. Situated in Alfriston in East Sussex, it is a place that I used to go to as a child, although my memories of the zoo in the late 80s and early 90s are mainly of meerkats. However, …
Recently I was asked to review a holiday cottage in the New Forest, which happened to be near the border of Dorset. When looking into things to do in the local area, I remembered that I followed Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park on Twitter and sent them a message. They kindly …
