A Day Out at Pinball Republic London

[Updated on March 16th, to reflect the venue’s new name] Previously under the name Flip Out London, Pinball Republic London is a place where you can play a large number of pinball machines, all at the price of an entry fee. If you are a pinball fan, this club is a place where you can really play a variety of machines, and unlike arcades at the pier, it doesn’t cost you 25p or even a pound a go.

Gourmaze The Sweet Escape has you finding sweet treats!

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to exploring London, there are so many options for what to do and what to eat. However, Gourmaze has put together a maze, filled with puzzles and riddles, to deliver mystery food to you and your friends. I went off to do The Sweet Escape mission, along with Dann and our friend Tom who does not like his face being shown.

A Day Out at Si5 SpyMissions Chelmsford

Dann and I have done escape room style games and escape rooms before, ourselves, but never have we done a real life escape room with the kids! When looking for fun activities we could get the children to on the weekends, Si5 SpyMissions came up, with a branch in Chelmsford. This branch of Si5 SpyMissions offered quite a few different age groups, as well as a family package that could accommodate all ages along with a guide. As we have children ages 5 to 11, we figured this guided family package was the best fit for our family, and went off!

A Day Out at All My Sons at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] Plays and performances have been hitting the stages, now that the world is getting back to normal. We have been to a few, so far, from children’s focused plays to musicals, and have been really enjoying the energy and story. All My Sons is no exception. This play was based in America, with all of the actors putting on some really great American accents, which added a lot to the show.

A Day Out at Pember Library & Natural History Museum

I went off to visit family in Upstate New York and as a result started going out to all the little places hidden in the small, mountain-side towns nearby. One of the museums I remember going to as a very small child is the Pember Library and Natural History Museum – located right in the middle of the town my grandmother lives in. This museum is above a decent sized library, which is open, for free, to the public. The library itself is on a donation if you want basis, with a large collection of taxidermy animals, many of which you’d never see in this small town.
