Walking an Owl with Coda Falconry

Posted on October 3, 2020July 8, 2024 by Jupiter

About a year ago, it was Dann’s birthday! Unsure what to get someone who never knows what they want for their birthday, I figured getting an experience was the best option. Dann loves owls and always mentioned a time when his brother got to go off and do a owl experience with his grandparents and how he wanted to do similar. So, after a bit of googling, I ended up booking him a ticket for the Owl Encounter at Coda Falconry – along with a spectator ticket, in case he wanted to bring a friend.

I ended up being that friend! Currently, Coda Falconry isn’t properly open due to COVID, but they still are doing these experiences, as they are with small groups of people. Ours was an own walk, where Dann got to hold the owl, cast him off, and walk around. I got to follow and pet the owl at the end, opting to take pictures and ask questions along the way. Our owl was named Dusk – a beautiful creature with a twin sister who we also got to meet!

A Day Out at Circus Fantasia

Posted on September 19, 2020July 8, 2024 by Dann Sullivan

My eldest, Kai, saw the colourful posters around town and started asking about visiting the circus. Circus Fantasia, a traveling circus on it’s 8th year of show, was in our area for the week, with their new 2020 program. Jupiter had never been to a circus before, and when I had gone as a child, it was much too loud for my ears and I had a terrible time. Despite this, as Kai wanted to go, we set out to grab tickets up and spend the evening at Circus Fantasia.

A Day Out at Clip n’ Climb Chelsea

Posted on September 16, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Rock climbing is something that, as a kid, I use to do regularly through school. My school had a rock wall and part of Gym Class required you to go on the wall every few months. As an adult, I must say, that I have not really gone out climbing in a long time. Dann and I, enticed in by bright colors and the want for a fun evening, went to Clip n’ Climb Chelsea to see how the adult, after work hours slots would be.

A Day Out at Mr. Mulligan’s Adventure Golf

Posted on September 4, 2020January 30, 2025 by Dann Sullivan

The children seem to really enjoy themed adventure golf and Mr. Mulligan’s has an indoor golf course, something we’ve never been out too. Seeing that the weather is cold and somewhat rainy, an indoor course is just what we were looking for! We ended up opting for the one in Stevenage which has a giant submarine on the top of the building, which is really cool to see from the outside.

Once inside, we had the option of one of two courses; an easier, under the sea course or a more challenging jungle themed course. As Robin is three and most of the time can be found kicking the ball with her feet or just dropping it into the end hole after giving up, we decided to go into the under the sea area. This was themed with mermaids, octopuses, sea creatures and had a boat of it’s own. The course itself was quite compact, which is the main downside of being indoors. Many of the holes were right on top of each other, which meant that it was hard to find a place to stand while someone was taking their turn or while waiting.
