Blenheim Palace Adventure Playground Review

I’m doing a separate Blenheim Palace adventure playground review to the main site because it’s an additional charge and entirely optional so it makes sense really. 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 […]

Oxford magic walking tour Review

Whenever I visit Oxford I’ve seen dozens of walking tours and wondered if they were any good. Realistically the only way of knowing is by actually doing one of them, but they can be quite pricey for five people and it’s a lot of money to waste on something rubbish. I was asked by Oxford […]

Halloween trail at Blenheim Palace Review 2023

Even during the day, Halloween at Blenheim Palace has always been pretty cool, but since they started their dusk to dark trail it is a whole new level. Don’t worry, they still have all of their day-time activities and decorations, this is an extra thing. There is an additional charge for tickets to the Halloween […]

Oxford Botanic Garden Review

When we recently went to Christ Church Meadow in Oxford I realised that it bordered the botanic gardens as well. I haven’t been to Oxford Botanic Garden before and thought it might be worth doing a review so decided to go back with the kids. I knew it wasn’t particularly big so I planned to […]

The Oxfordshire Museum Review

We decided to review the Oxfordshire Museum when we were visiting Blenheim Palace one day. It’s just around the corner and, given that we have annual passes, it made sense. I already knew that the Oxfordshire Museum is quite small, so it didn’t make sense to drive all the way to Woodstock to do a […]

Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum Review

When we visited The Oxfordshire Museum to do a review I realised that the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum is actually in the back garden, so I added it to my to-do list. Where it sat for a while! Then I discovered that Blenheim Palace annual pass holders now get to visit for free, so off […]

The Story Museum Review

My first review of the Story Museum in Oxford was an emotional roller coaster! At first I was uncertain which type of ticket we should be getting (more on that later). Then we were really excited about how amazing the Whispering Wood is, then really worried I’d made a huge mistake, and then super excited […]

Science Oxford Review

I knew that timing this review of Science Oxford was going to be key. They have a woodland here and I wanted to explore that, but didn’t know how long it would take. I didn’t want to accidentally be stuck there for ages with nothing to do. Also they tend to sell out early and […]

Blenheim Palace Christmas Light Trail Review 2024

For the past few years we have been invited to review the Christmas light trail at Blenheim Palace and I always have high expectations. This blog is all above value for money, and it isn’t cheap, so I want to know you are getting what you pay for. Also, how would it compare to last […]

Shotover Country Park Review

A free country park overlooking Oxford with lots of woodland walks.
