1. Sat Feb 16 to Mon 18. £5.99 Kids World Fun Fair. Avon Valley Adventure Wildlife Park. Bristol.
Usually when you take the family to the fun fair it costs a small fortune! So when I spotted this Bristol bargain I got really excited! I’ll be taking Little Miss Diva to this as it’s only £5.99 per session and most rides are included in the cost of the wristband. You don’t need to pay to get into the adventure park either, as it’s a separate entrance and there are two daily sessions from 12pm ’til 3pm & 3pm to 6pm. This is a cash only event and free rides include the Ferris wheel, dodgems, crazy dragon roller coaster, circus funhouse, helter skelter, hall of mirrors, crazy bumper cars and more. Oh and it’s also my birthday this Monday Feb 18 – so happy days – see you there! You can check out all the details of the Kids World Fun Fair by clicking here.
