A Day Out at Adventure Golf

Adventure Island is very close to our home, and so we go so often! Though Adventure Island is an amusement park and arcade, there is Adventure Golf attached to it, which allows people to pay a fee to take on one of two mini-golf courses. We have passed this on our way into the park several times, and it was finally time to try it out. There are two different courses at the Adventure Golf that you can take on and we went for the one that sort of moved above the other, getting some height in the course!

A Day Out at Jack V Giant at the Polka Theatre

[Ad- gifted experience] The Polka Theatre is one that always sticks in my mind as such a wonderful hub for children to play, explore and test boundaries! You see, the theatre itself is quite large, with a few different dedicated spaces for children. There is a dress up area, books that are free to read, colouring, and a magnetic building block wall in one room. An outdoor, treehouse inspired play house encourages outdoor play. There is a cafe, with chalk boards, to keep children busy while adults enjoy a meal or coffee. Even the hallways are full of colourful works of art and interesting displays that are fun to look at! The whole place just feels like it was designed for children!

A Day Out at Rochester Castle

Dann and Kai are big fans of exploring castle! Last year, we had gone on a bunch of English Heritage sites, but we had not yet explored Rochester Castle. This castle wasn’t like any of the others we had been too. It wasn’t ruins or something recreated – it was a castle that felt very complete, with lots to explore, yet clearly wasn’t re-created in anyway. Rochester Castle is actually on a large lot of land, which you can see lots of dog walkers and other people exploring. These grounds do have some ruins on them, as well as signs and informations.

A Day Out at The Extraordinary Adventures of David Copperfield at Riverside Studios

[Ad- gifted experience] Our first time at Riverside Studios did not disappoint, with the amazing performance of The Extraordinary Adventures of David Copperfield, a play completely consisting of three people. Two actors appeared from the entrance door, and started the performance, laughing and making jokes with the audience as if they were one of us. Then, a box got placed in the middle of the stage.

A Day Out at Battersea Light Festival 2023

We are huge fans of light festivals in our home, so when we heard about the free to attend Battersea Light Festival, we had to go! Dann and I went as a little date night, exploring the lights and the area generally. Battersea has had a bunch of new construction, especially in the Battersea Power Station, which is a giant mall that includes some of the lights from the festival! There is a free, online map which shows the route you can walk around to see all of the different lights in the area – there are 8 of them in total!
