Reviews of cheap family days out in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire. Children's activity and craft ideas
This review of Volcano Falls Milton Keynes came about because Smallest Child wanted to play crazy golf and this place was by far the most recommended by you guys! We’d been to another place in MK previously and didn’t like it so we were in the market for something better! The Set-up They have three […]

It’s been open for nearly 18 months now but this is the first time that I’ve actually been down to check it out. So what made us finally go […]

It’s one of the top touristy things to do and, I’ll be honest, that’s kind of why we decided to do it. It looks really cool and you can see […]

It’s more simple than the recent Gruffalo one in that there isn’t any augmented reality element. Like with all of the trails, there is an accompanying trail pack that adds to the experience. BUT you don’t have […]

Well I cannot really write family reviews in Buckinghamshire, enjoy roller skating and not visit Haddenahm Rollers really, could I! After a break of several years it re-started in 2021 […]
Read More Haddenham Rollers ReviewIf you know anything about St Albans, you’ll know it was a big deal in Roman times. A very big deal, and there’s tons of archaeology left behind for us to find. I’m fairly sure most school kids in and around Hertfordshire will have visited here at some stage, but we’ve also visited Verulamium Museum […]
