AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.

And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

Holidays in the Emirates with Children: Why It’s Not a Nightmare, but Heaven on Earth | AD

*This is a collaborative guest post

The UAE has become one of the most popular travel destinations in recent years, and for good reason. With its stunning architecture, luxurious resorts, and family-friendly activities, the Emirates offer a unique and unforgettable holiday experience for families with children. Contrary to common misconceptions, travelling to the Emirates with children is not a nightmare but rather a heavenly experience. 

Your trip with children will be especially convenient and relaxing if you decide to rent a car. Bentley rental Dubai will give you a special luxury experience. The rental company will be happy to pick up a car for you according to your requests, so that your whole family is comfortable. In turn, the option to lease a car in Dubai gives you the opportunity to drive in a clean and well-maintained air-conditioned rental car and travel at your own pace. 

In this article, we will explore why the Emirates is an ideal destination for families.

Attractions:

One of the top attractions is Dubai Parks and Resorts, an integrated theme park that includes Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai and Legoland Dubai. Here, children can immerse themselves in the magical world of their favourite movies, take part in thrilling rides and take part in interactive activities that spark their imagination. 

For those looking for an educational adventure, Emirates also boasts the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo, where kids can admire the spectacular marine life and even have the chance to swim with sharks. Dubai’s KidZania Indoor Theme Park provides a unique and immersive environment where children can role-play various professions, promoting creativity and learning through play.

Accommodations:

When it comes to family-friendly accommodations, the Emirates truly excels. There are numerous options that cater specifically to the needs of families. When choosing where it is better to relax with children, you need to focus on family hotels. They have everything you need for the smallest children and for preschoolers: cribs and high chairs, playrooms and mini clubs, swimming pools with small slides, and a children’s menu in the restaurant. If you are planning an independent holiday in Dubai with children, consider staying in apart-hotels and apartments. Their main advantage is the presence of a kitchen where you can cook the usual food for the whole family.

Safety and Security:

Dubai is perhaps the safest city for a child. There is almost no crime here, especially maniacs and paedophiles, as in other countries, because the punishment for such crimes is extremely severe here, up to the death penalty.

Cultural Enrichment and Learning Opportunities:

While the Emirates may be known for its modern and opulent attractions, it also offers an incredible opportunity for children to learn about different cultures and traditions. The country is a melting pot of diverse nationalities, and this multicultural environment is reflected in its numerous museums, heritage villages, and cultural events. 

Families can visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, an architectural masterpiece that showcases Islamic art and culture. They can also explore the traditional markets, known as souks, to experience the vibrant atmosphere and discover local crafts and delicacies. These encounters with Emirati traditions provide valuable educational experiences, fostering tolerance and understanding in children.

Family-Oriented Entertainment and Events:

The Emirates is renowned for its extravagant entertainment and events, and many of them are designed with families in mind. One such event is the Dubai Shopping Festival, a month-long extravaganza that features exciting activities, fireworks, and live performances. Children can delight in the dazzling parades and street entertainment, while parents can take advantage of the incredible shopping deals. 

Another highlight is the Dubai Miracle Garden, a whimsical floral paradise that showcases stunning displays of colourful flowers and themed gardens. It is a captivating experience for both children and adults, offering a world of beauty and enchantment.

Conclusion:

Contrary to the notion that travelling to the Emirates with children can be a nightmare, it is, in fact, a heavenly experience that offers a plethora of family-friendly activities, luxurious accommodations, safety, cultural enrichment, and outdoor adventures. From world-class theme parks and educational attractions to stunning natural wonders and cultural experiences, the Emirates caters to the diverse interests and needs of families.

With its commitment to safety, extensive range of amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere, the Emirates provides an ideal setting for parents to create lasting memories with their children. Whether it’s exploring a desert safari, immersing in the vibrant culture, or simply enjoying quality time at the beach, the Emirates truly offers a haven of joy and relaxation for families. So, pack your bags, bring your children along, and get ready to embark on a remarkable holiday experience in the Emirates.
