Thorpe Park is great!! Lots of rides for thrill seekers, and plenty for younger fun seekers!…read more We had a really great day, and queues were not really an issue, they're expected!! We have a Merlin Pass so we didn't pay entry but it is a little pricey if you're paying on the day. Look out for the 2 for 1 offers. A great choice of food, not all take the Merlin Pass discount though.

Great family day out!…read more Huge space with fun areas for kids of all ages: sandpits, ride-on tractor yard, bouncy castles, duck racing, falconry, flying fox and more. The cafe and restaurant have an ok selection of food, but there are plenty of spots indoors and out where you can set up a bit of a picnic if you BYO. The annual membership is good value if you live close by, we seem to end up here at least twice a week.

Fantasy Island is a huge indoor play area. It is in the grounds of Vale Farm Sport Centre just off…read morethe Watford Road. There loads of free parking space and just a short walk to the play area. Children must wear socks when using the equipment and it is recommended that they don't wear football shirts as they can get badly damaged. There are plenty of climbing and swinging activities. There are several slides at different levels. The biggest slide isn't open all the time and when it is a member of staff is always at the top to help the children. It's best if long sleeves are worn on the slides to avoid friction burns. My children love this place. It can get quite crowded so it's best to arrive early in the day. There is a cafe serving hot and cold drinks and food. Most days children are given a 2 hour time slot but when it is quiet they have been left to play for as long as they want. Worth a visit.

We now often bump into her school friends and familiar faces. Always a great time for us both.

This North London soft play space is conveniently located outside Brent Cross Mall. My boys love…read morecoming here and are always begging me to bring them - its not the closest soft play to us, nor is it the cheapest (you have to pay to be a "member", a one-off fee, and it's more expensive in entry fees) - hence my resistance. That being said it is clean, feels like the equipment is in good nic, and it feels like they spend the money maintaining the place. We've been here for a few birthday parties and you can have the upstairs space or your own room which is nice. There is TV for parents to watch and they have wifi (hallelujah). Music plays throughout. The café is mediocre (hence my 3 star vote) and you don't get your money's worth. If I compare it to Clowntown, Friern Barnet, who provide a kiddies meal deal (veggie crudités, main, dessert & a drink) for under £7, these guys charge that just for the mains. Baby's options are Cow & Gate or the Ella's kitchen range. Mums and dads : the coffee is bad and sad. They use a machine and its tastes ugh! Overall, yes it's still worth coming but be prepared to cough up the cash.

The Ice Skating is good fun - I went having not skated before and got on well. Occasionally they have themed events and sometimes a DJ which is either to your taste or off-putting.

For the fashion body with a travellers heart. Rocket is tucked away but bursting at the seams…read more Woolie hats, rucksacks, body bars and strappy tops! Plus novelty gift ideas, and they even provide the birthday cards! Worth popping into, if not just for the jewellery, which is reminiscent of Reading Festival.

This is a really unusual little shop, which sells fashion and gifts. You can find some really…read moreinteresting items in there and it is always nice to have a wander around.

Tragic Service I…read moreinnocently decided this Christmas to save up the little money I had to buy my youngest brother a present as we hadn't been going through the best of times. As I couldn't find what I was looking for on Ebay or Amazon, I managed to find what I needed from what seemed like a nice family owned company, little did I know how wrong I was. The delivery told me it would come well before so I would have plenty of time to get it all wrapped up and sorted, I was excited already imagining the joyous look on his sweet face on Christmas morning. It however never arrived. I sent them am email approximately a month after Christmas as I can understand small companies may get bogged down at this time of year, they deserved a bit of leeway. They were naturally cooperative in response and told me they would send me a new one which would arrive within the week, it didn't for the second time. I then decided to call them up a week later to little avail as I couldn't get through. A few days later after many emails I finally managed to break radio silence and get through to them on the phone, they told me they were sorry AGAIN and it would arrive within the week, yet again it didn't. Not for the first or second but for the THIRD time. I tried to email them again but was simply outright blanked. It is now the 23rd of March and my brothers CHRISTMAS present had finally arrive. This is by far the the most god-awful service I have ever received and I would not even curse my greatest foes with such terrible a service as I received, shame my brother didn't even like it...
