by Karen, Jan 20 2018 When I was growing up my dream was to be an astronaut, Space absolutely captivated me and I’m so glad I have passed that fascination on to my daughter (although currently the astronaut career aspirations come in second place to Street Dance Teacher!). So I was super excited to visit
by Karen, Jan 17 2018 Want the full on Santa weekend experience but don’t want to have to travel all the way to Lapland to do it? Scotland is a great place to start. We knew we wanted to take Piper to visit Santa but December is such a busy time for us, we couldn’t
by Karen, Jan 08 2018 Recently we paid a “blink and you’ll miss it” visit to County Wicklow in Ireland for a family gathering and really can’t believe we’ve left is so long to get there. It was Piper’s first visit to Ireland (she’s now 7!) and we all fell in love with the place
by Erin Quilliam, Jan 07 2018 Five Fantastic Days out in Cambridgeshire? From zoo and farmyard trips to fossil hunts and fun houses, there are loads of places to enjoy days out in Cambridgeshire. Fossils Galore Located in March, Fossils Galore has tons of activities on offer from dinosaur hunts, fossil dogs, and gold panning.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta splurge, right? Well splurge we did on our recent trip to visit family in Co. Wicklow, we booked into a family room at the Druids Glen Hotel & Resort and were so impressed with the family friendliness of the place we’re already thinking about when we can return. If you’re planning
by Karen, Nov 27 2017 As family friendly, educational museums go, the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia has got to be one of the best. Packed full of interesting and interactive exhibits, perfectly tailored to kids. Built in honour of one of Americas most famous scientists – Benjamin Franklin, the Institute is one of
Arriving at the Windsor Suites in Philadelphia was a total breath of fresh air after the eight hour bus journey and rather cramped accommodation of Boston. The hotel is part of the Modus Hotels group and definitely lives up to their other city centre hotels. My daughter and I stayed for 3 nights in a standard suite
by Erin Quilliam, Nov 03 2017 Five Favourite Tenpin Bowling Alleys Tenpin bowling is a simple, entertaining activity that everyone can enjoy. The aim of the sport is simple; which is to roll a ball down an alley at ten pins and try to knock down as many as possible. It may be simple, but
When visiting Philly with kids there’s one place every family wants to try and that’s the Please Touch Museum Philadelphia. Just the name screams family friendly, after all I’m sure we’ve all spent half an hour in an interesting museum whispering to our kids not to touch/run/play and finally given up and gone home. The
by Karen, Oct 19 2017 Boston is an amazing place to visit with kids, there’s so much to see and do and the Freedom Trail is a great place to start. It’s a literal walk through the American Revolution, if you’re walking it with little kids just make sure you plan in plenty of stops,
Looking for Boston Park Plaza Hotel Reviews? Boston, USA is well known to be one of the most expensive cities in the world to book a hotel room but even knowing that I was surprised when I started researching where to stay for our upcoming trip. I finally decided on the Boston Park Plaza, a
Oh Boston, you are an embarrassment of amazingly family friendly museums! We didn’t expect anything could get close to the Boston Childrens Museum but found the Science museum, Boston to be equally fascinating. We arrived early (thank you jetlag) and made it in well before the crowds which allowed us to really explore every exhibit. Location
Now that summer is over, you’re probably trying to think of different indoor activities for you and your family in the coming winter months. Just because the weather outside might be dark and gloomy, doesn’t mean your days out have to be! If you’re looking for indoor fun the whole family can enjoy, bowling in
by Karen, Oct 03 2017 The Lake District in Autumn, are you mad you might say? Yes, the weather can be challenging and it’s not the best time to indulge in watersports on the Lakes or enjoy an ice cream whilst taking in the epic scenery (the cloak of mist often makes that tricky!) but
Although I don’t usually plan our travels based on just one venue we want to try out, Boston was a different story. I had heard and read so many great things about their children’s museum I knew we just had to visit before Piper got too old to really enjoy it. Was it worth the
