Kidzania is a great place to keep the kids entertained. If you haven’t visited Kidzania before, it’s like a mini city for children were they can take part in all kinds of jobs to earn ” Kidzos” (the Kidzanian currency) and take part in all kinds of activities from cooking, to disco dancing and kareoke, to […]

A couple of weeks ago, we went along to Wembley Arena to watch Disney on Ice Silver Anniversary Celebration. This has to be one of our favourite Disney on Ice shows so far, it is really lovely and includes a great mix of the classic Disney characters along with more the recent Frozen.
