So I have a friend , we'll call her TeaPot, and it was her birthday. She suggested coming here on an afternoon and enjoying a few laps on the track. A little nervous (well actually a lot nervous) we paid our £20 and went to be kitted out with helmets and bright yellow jackets and trousers. It's at this point that I realise that most of the people I am about to race are under the influence! This is about to get interesting, maybe I should have had a stiff gin before stepping onto the track?! Panic! Never fear though, after a few laps I was starting to feel like a prob and have even recovered from the humiliation of being given a bumper seat due to being a little person. It's super fun and I'll so go again, I felt that it was a bit pricey and the staff were surly. Also, where was the trophy for the winner? Where, I ask you? I should have got a certificate for my safe driving, I only crashed once... okay, okay... twice!

For a Fiver you could recharge a little sea side nostalgia and demonstrate your putting prowess over slopes, tunnels, and windmills! The course was good, hitting through a bowling alley and a minutia Battersea PowerStation was great fun and afar cry from the peeling paint of your typical 1950's seaside crazy golf course. It was clear from the first holeI was a bad golfer - from the secondit was a fore-gone conclusion that I will be shamed wooden spoon winner! And indeed I was. My handicap.? A longstanding 'Golf-Elbow!' Of particular interest was the 19th hole (the bar) where we were greeted by a pear / sparkling wine / star anise cocktail courtesy of Cinnamon Kitchen a bar /restaurant next to the course. It was deliciously different and I could have quite easily hit this down in one!! Shortly followed by flavoursome Indian canopies. Yum. I was a little Tee'd off by the banning of drinking on the course and maybe the night could have down with some musical ambience. But, if you are looking for something a little bit different to do in London grab your putter and tap your way to victory at Devonshire square.

And just the knowledge that there's a full 18-hole course in Central London (steps from Liverpool Street Station) in a beautifully renovated (and covered) courtyard makes me love this city even more. Managed by Moneypenny Events (http://www.moneypennyevents.com/content/golf-devonshire-square.asp) , this Devonshire Square mini-golf course offers a cheap and easy opportunity for fun. A round costs $5/per which sounds like value for money to me. Weekly and monthly passes are available too. I was there with 14 other Qypers and everybody had a brilliant time. Everybody loved it. At the end we all convened at the 19th Hole for some tasty cocktails and nibbles from Cinnamon Kitchen's Anise Bar (which is right there in the same Devonshire Square Courtyard).

Adorable zoo about an hour to hour and a half from Central London. If you have the time and a car I…read moredefinitely recommend this zoo over the ZSL zoo. Every exhibit has multiple viewpoints here. There were plenty of opportunities to easily see all the animals here. The enclosures were extremely well kept and I think all had an indoor and outdoor area for the animals. There are multiple play areas throughout for kids here too. My kids also enjoyed the animatronic dinosaurs here (very cute). Food here was reasonably priced but we ate outside the park. Parking was free. They offer a lot of different animal interactions here. The prices for all were pretty high but for a special gift I'm sure they are totally worth it. You can also buy carrots to feed the animals in the petting zoo.

Overall great day out for the family ! I would say 50% animals 50% outdoor play for the kids (with…read moresome indoor) I did find some of the cages quite small for the animals but one of my only criticisms! There were a few extras while you were there so take additional money but to be expected at these places! ( it's set up for packed lunches which is great for families ) There is a good choice of animals to see and you can buy food which a good selection of animals to feed! They also had a lots of showing through out the day and I got to stroke a snake :). The park had a good layout where you can easily walk around and find where you are going plus you get a handy map! There have an indoor soft play at the entrance which is good and bad! Means the kids want to go these straight away instead of seeing the animals and you don't pass on the way out! The soft play was great for all ages and served your average drinks and food - one thing I will say which was disappointing was they charged me for a bit of milk for my baby! I always pay my way but this is the first place that have ever charged me for milk! Worth a visit and tickets are not expensive - look out for groupon deals!

Four courses, 6 bars, all kinds of fun and tons of photo ops. Junkyard is hidden in a hipster area but isn't overpriced or obnoxious. The courses are themed with 9 holes each, and we opted for the Bruce (named after the shark from Jaws), which has Hollywood pop references (Forest Trump, Lord of the Blings, Jurassic Pork, etc.). The courses can get backed up a bit if there are large groups ahead of you, but grab another (cheap, strong) drink and relax. Saw a couple of "hen parties" here (bachelorette groups), but this was still fun even just as a small group. Super friendly staff, too.

You realize right away when you enter that this isn't a normal mini-golf course! From the dressed up people, the drinks flowing and the fun and creative course - you are in for a good time! Food is available from lots of little kiosks but be prepared for a decent wait for that or your drinks even with their mobile order system. You can take your drinks on the course (and get refills!) which is fun - but it also means that drink glasses are all over if the staff is behind in picking them up. The biggest negatives are feeling herded through the course quickly and very loud drunk people. But overall it's worth the visit!
