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 […]

Chastleton House Review

Before actually typing up this review of Chastleton House I had to check the county borders for Oxon, Warks and Gloucs because as we were driving in you keep dipping in and out of all of them! I wasn’t 100% sure which county we were in by the time we arrived. Turns out it’s technically […]

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 […]

Ladygrove Park and Playground Review

This review of Ladygrove park & playground only happened because I need to kill some time between finishing at Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary and Hubby’s train arriving at Didcot train station. I needed something to do with the kids that was close to the station and cheap. A quick google maps search brought up what […]

Tetsworth outdoor learning charity Review

I found out about the Tetsworth Outdoor Learning Charity in Oxfordshire when the lady who runs it got in touch with me. She’d seen my review of the playground next door and invited me to go down and see what they’re all about. It’s a natural outdoor play space that’s open all the time, but […]

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 […]
