On our recent family road trip from the UK through Portugal and Spain, we needed somewhere to break up the long drive from Sedella in the Andalusian mountains to Santander on the north coast.
Segovia was an easy choice.

On our October trip to Rhodes, we finally made it to one of the places that had been at the top of our list since our first visit in 2024 – Rhodes Old Town.
Last year, during our one-week family holiday in Kolymbia, we ran out of time to explore the island’s capital. With school half term limiting our stay and wanting to balance pool and beach days with sightseeing, we simply couldn’t fit it in.

I recently took my eight-year-old son for a weekend in Bristol. I was hoping to visit We The Curious as we hadn’t been since he was tiny, like two years old, but unfortunately, it was still closed. The last time I tried to visit it was also closed due to a rare solar panel fire, so I took my daughter who I was with at that time to Bristol Botanical Gardens instead, but where to take my son instead that he’d enjoy?
A quick internet search and I discovered Wake The Tiger, an “amazement park”! It looked intriguing and like a visual feast for the eyes, so I booked it and hoped he would enjoy it.
In this blog post, I’ll share my Wake The Tiger review and explain exactly what this curiously named experience is.
