A Day Out at Jurassic Falls Adventure Golf

If you haven’t noticed, the kids really love dinosaurs – especially the youngest, Robin. This summer was all about new experiences for the three of them, and one of them was going off to play mini-golf. As a kid, Jupiter grew up in a very small town, which had it’s own mini-golf course as the major town nearby had quite a few. Going to mini-golf was something she did often and even played as apart of my school’s summer rec program. When looking for mini-golf, Jurassic Falls Adventure Golf seemed like the best option.

With all three kids in tow, we went off to Jurassic Falls. They have a mini-golf course that can be played through in about an hour, as well as a big climbing thing for older children. The climbing range is quite interesting, but Robin is just too small to go on it, so we skipped it this time around opting for just the Jurassic Falls golf. We grabbed our golf balls and clubs, then set off.

Alton Towers Pirate Takeover and Splash Landings Hotel

It is one of our yearly traditions to go to Alton Towers during the February half term. They have on this Pirate Takeover event, which has a limited area of the park open. There is a deal that allows you to book up a day at Splash Landings Hotel, the night over at the hotel, and then go to the park the next day (or the reverse of that, really it’s up to you). We love amusement parks and hotels, so this is such a fun time for everyone.

Best Christmas Days Out for Families 2023

We love to get out and about, especially on the days our children are off school! During the holiday season, there are a lot of lovely, themed places to visit in and around Essex, that can make the holidays shine even more than ever! Some of these places have options to meet Santa himself, others are just fun activities that are only available during the Christmas months. Either way, I am sure you will find an activity you and your family enjoy.

A Weekend Away at Wookey Hole

[Ad- gifted experience] Wookey Hole is something that has been talked about by Dann for quite some time. He remembers going there on a trip as a child – which seems like something every British kid gets to do at least once in their life! I had not heard of the place before, but am always excited to take on new adventures. Unlike other weekends away, Wookey Hole felt more in touch with nature by the sounds of things; a remote area, a cave, tons of stuff for kids to do. We were pumped.

A Weekend Away at Splash Landings Hotel Alton Towers 2023

This year, we are focused on doing a bunch of little mini-vacations and weekends away as family adventures! Normally we pick a theme each year for the type of adventures we are going on, and this time it’s weekends away, so for my birthday weekend I booked up Splash Landings Hotel at Alton Towers, during their Pirate Takeover weekend. This was an amazing deal, as it included one night at their Splash Landing Hotel, a time slot in their indoor hotel water park, a day at the Pirate Takeover part of their park, and a mini-golf session, as well as breakfast on the second day.
