A Day Out at Jump Giants Trampoline & Air Park

Ever since going out to Jump In, the children have been itching to explore more trampoline parks. There seem to be quite a few of them now that we’ve taken a look, but Jump Giants has something that other trampoline parks don’t have – an Air Park. This space is split up into two areas; the Trampoline Park and the Air Park, which require different socks, different tickets, and have different timers. There is a shared cafe area between the two, and you can book tickets for both, but we ended up going to each half on different days, to expand our adventure across two different weekends.

A Day Out at Akvariet i Bergen – Bergen’s National Aquarium

I am a sucker for a good aquarium, and when asking locals what to do in Bergen, they suggested the national aquarium there. So, Dann and I went along to see what sea life we could spot there. You do enter Akvariet i Bergen through the gift shop, which is a little strange, but then you are presented with three, quite large, outdoor areas for animals. The first – and the one I was most excited about – was the penguins. I love penguins and Dann had never seen them before in real life, so we were in for a treat as they swam around, got quite close to us, and went about their day. These penguins were adorable, and it is so good to see they are out in open air, getting to experience weather.

A Day Out at Chessington World of Adventure

During the summer holiday, we wanted to make the most of it, so our family and my friend’s family went together to Chessington World of Adventure – a theme park and zoo that’s quite fun for the whole family and has so much to see, it would take several visits to view it all. This place is massive and will easily fill your entire day, especially if you like a few of the rides specifically!
