A Day Out at Krakow Arcade Museum (Muzeum Gier Wideo)

Posted on March 27, 2023March 29, 2023 by Jupiter

Arcades are something that, as someone who works in the video game industry, always peak my interest. While in Krakow recently with my co-workers from my day job, we all had to check out the Krakow Arcade Museum (Muzeum Gier Wideo in Polish), which is the largest arcade in all of the country with a total of 150 machines there – a huge collection. As this place did have the name of Museum in it but also said it was an interactive arcade, I was curious as to what it would be like. Museums in my mind are often containing things behind glass, that you can only really look at and learn about.

A Day Out at Sealife Adventure

Posted on March 15, 2023July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

In the United Kingdom, Sea Life is normally a sort of brand of aquariums, that are all around the country. However, there is one Sealife that doesn’t seem to be in this umbrella, and that’s the one owned by Adventure Island, which I believe has been around long before the Sea Life brand. This was super confusing to me at first, especially as Sea Life tends to charge tons to see their aquarium, where as Sealife Adventure is much more affordable and can often be free to go into if there is an event at Adventure Island.

A Day Out at The Flood at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

Posted on March 8, 2023September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch is one of our favourite theatre venues; with a cafe, bar, stage and a very comfortable theatres, we were excited to be back again for another performance. The Flood is a really interesting concept for a theatre show; a play that takes place across 100 years, in the same location, as time changes the people and the environment around them. This showcases before and after a flood, as well as far into the future. The Flood is also based on a real life event; in 1953 there was a massive flood in the Canvey Islands, that resulted in the death of 58 people and devastated the community affected as well as destroyed many homes. On the night that we were attending, there was one cast member who had not ended up making that specific night, and instead one of the stage producers jumped in, script in hand, to fill the slot so the play could go on.

How To Break Out of a Detention Centre at Riverside Studios

Posted on March 3, 2023September 3, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Our second play at Riverside Studios was so much different from our first. We went to see How to Break Out of a Detention Centre, a more emotional and intense performance about immigration camps in the United Kingdom. This show is based on real stories from women who have been in these detention centres, showcasing what has happened to them.

A Day Out at Adventure Golf

Posted on March 1, 2023July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

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!
