The Enchanting 'Stargazing Pods' at Alton Towers
by Susie on Tue Apr 23 2019
Glamping fans, this one will top them all!! We had a truly brilliant time last weekend at the new Stargazing Pods at Alton Towers, and recommend you take a look for your next trip away. My little Wiki family and I were lucky enough to be invited to the launch event on 'Look Up to the Sky Day' which included an introduction from Stargazing Lives Mark Thompson, followed by the most sensational silent pyrotechnics (awesome fireworks without the noise) display I have ever seen. And all under the twinkling of the stars in the night sky and surrounded by the amazing Stargazing Pods. Thompson enthralled the little ones and showed us all how to spot the Milky Way among other constellations. It helped that it was a perfectly clear night and the sky looked specactular.
Eating out with Happy Little Eaters
by Susie on Fri Apr 12 2019
I have teamed up with kids’ mealtime blogger, Grace Willis, from Happy Little Eaters, who writes about reducing fussiness and creating happier mealtimes and has given her top suggestions on eating out with the kids. Hopefully this will make for happier (and calmer!) times on your Wiki days out and times in nicely for this Easter break!
Back in skis! Our first lesson at Snozone!
by Susie on Wed Apr 10 2019
We had an amaaaaazing time on Saturday morning at Snozone at the Xscape, Milton Keynes! A REAL SNOW ski slope, this place is incredible and is as realistic a skiing and snowboarding experience as you wI’ll get for an indoor ski centre!! The “mountain” is a little steeper and bumpier on one side which makes it perfect for boarders and experienced skiers, while the other side is a bit of a shallower incline and perfect for beginners...and despite having been on the slopes many times in the past that’s definitely what we all were!

This week we discovered one of the most exciting places for kids that we have found in a while. Gymfinity Kids has recently opened in Milton Keynes and were invited along to review. For a gymnastics membership club this is completely different to what you might usually expect. 100% focused on recreational gymnastics Gymfinity is all about kids having the best time.

Explore the magic of Hobbledown!
Posted in Kids days out , Half Term, Days out , School holidays by Susie on Sun Mar 10 2019
Hobbledown is a bit like a fantasy farm! In Epsom it is the perfect place for families with children of all ages! Often it’s tricky to find a place to entertain a tweens and toddlers but if this is your family – then Hobbledown has something to entertain everyone. It’s an adventure park meets Harry Potter and the magical, mystical element will certainly capture the minds of older children.
