Ben is really excited about going this year and has already made a list of things he wants to see and do including visiting the Skylanders Trap Team, seeing Titan the Robot, watching Swashbuckle and Scooby Doo and checking out the Pirate training school.It will be the twins first LolliBop and I can't wait to let them loose in the 3ft and under zone, visiting baby ballet with Zoey and watching one of their favourites Postman Pat.
Top Three Tips
- It is a good idea to take a look at the programme before you go and make a list of the things you want to see and visit.
- Try and get there early to avoid queues as it gets busier as the day goes on.
- Make sure to pack water as it can be a bit pricey to buy there.
