Faced with another day sitting in the apartment with my nine-year-old and six-year-old boys watching YouTubers play Fortnite on the TV, because it was simply too hot to go outside, I took a chance. I braved Dubai Mall on my own with them and headed for KidZania.
The nine-year-old is a tween of simple tastes: eat, sleep, football, repeat. So this was a risk. But he surprised me. He leaned in. He tried new things. He even took instructions.
Here’s what KidZania can give your child that YouTube/Fortnite/Roblox/Minecraft (delete as required) can’t.
1) Work = money (but not that much money)
After a shift making their own Happy Meals, delivering parcels or washing windows to earn KidZos (the KidZania currency), they learn a hard truth: a day’s graft won’t always cover the cost of the plastic toy they’ve decided they need two minutes after seeing it. Welcome to life, lads.
2) Some jobs are fun. Some aren’t. That’s fine.
They loved being Crime Scene Investigators. Bottling water? Not so much. “Try before you buy” is a nice, low-stakes way to talk about the future. What do you enjoy? What bores you? Useful chats on the drive home.
3) Licences, fees, and how fast money vanishes
You have to pay to take your driving test. Then you have to pay again to drive the car. It’s a neat way to show how quick cash goes when life admin kicks in.
4) Respect for people who cook your food
From making their own Happy Meals on a hot grill in a hot country, they got a tiny taste of kitchen life. They ate every chip after that. With thanks.
5) Work is tiring
Six hours. Dozens of roles. They were shattered. Did it make them think about mum and dad doing this daily? Let’s be honest: KidZania is good, but it isn’t a miracle worker.
What can they actually do inside?
Kidzania Dubai is a 7,000 m² mini city with over 40 role-play activities for kids aged 2–16. It’s set up like the real world with banks, shops, service roles and many more but sized for children. They earn, spend and save KidZos (their own currency available as payment by cash or card!) as they go.
Food-wise, they can prepare their own Happy Meal at McDonald’s, bake pizzas at PizzaExpress, or make healthy snacks at the Fade Fit Kids Healthy Snack Factory. It’s hands-on, structured, and supervised.
There’s loads more beyond food. Deliveries, window cleaning, pilot training, healthcare, TV/radio, and law-and-order type roles. Enough variety to keep siblings with very different tastes busy for a good chunk of the day.
Tips from a heat-dodging parent
Go early. It gets busy. Weekdays are calmer.
Set expectations on KidZos. They’ll want to spend as they earn. Talk saving vs spending first.
Bring a book / laptop. Parents can wait in comfort while the kids work their way round.
Block out hours. This is not a “quick hour” activity. Plan for most of the day.
Wear comfy shoes. For you and them.
If you’re in Dubai over the summer and the heat has beaten you, KidZania is a solid, air-conditioned answer. It’s structured enough to feel educational, playful enough to keep them hooked, and real enough to spark a few good life chats on the way home.
And yes, it beats watching someone else play Fortnite. Just. And yes, the nine-year-old did decide he needed to visit the new Manchester City store in Dubai Mall on the way home as a reward (KidZos not accepted).
From the perspective of holidaying with young children. Winter sun in Tenerife at Bahia Principle Fantasia review – January 2020.
We’ve been very keen to get our children used to travel from an early age (and whilst free under 2!). We took RLT on his first holiday abroad when he was 13 months old, so we were conscious that it was time to show Little E a little bit more of the world, as he is already 15 months old. We visited Fantasia Bahia Principle in Golf del Sur, Tenerife in January 2020 as a family of four (two adults, two children aged 1 and 3). We did a lot of research before we went and ummed and arred about booking because we found so many conflicting views, so I decided to publish my honest review which is not paid for in any way shape or form. (Can only wish given that prices have increased when looking for 2022 even with free child places)
Before booking research
There are so many Facebook groups, trip advisor reviews, google reviews and marketing from the hotel itself that you can take into account before booking this hotel. I looked at the majority of them and now writing this as I am at home, I’m honestly gobsmacked at some of the comments I have read. I can only imagine they are from rival hotel chains looking to do some damage limitation to their bookings, as this is a new hotel.
So what I would say to you is; the Facebook group whose members are previous or upcoming guests is the best one to join for honest opinions. I’m not saying that there won’t be some ‘ringers’ in there, because some of the comments on there are insane too – either that or people have impossibly high standards for a family hotel. Trip advisor is known for rival staff comments and I can tell you from my own personal experience that the hotel has a ‘share your happiness’ event to drive up their google reviews – you get a t-shirt if you post. From a marketing point of view, I applaud this and at no point did I see staff direct anyone to say or give a particular mark, but the numbers are inflated because who doesn’t love a free t-shirt?
Hotel check-in
The hotel itself isn’t that pretty from the outside, but you can’t fail but be impressed by the light and the interiors when you walk into reception. Check-in is prompt, you get bands with NFC tags in them which become your digital passport to your dining and pass to your rooms, no having to take the key card in and out with you, which is great. They provided a map, which showed us where the pools were, which ones were heated (we thought they were still freezing cold) and advised how many shows and meals we could book in the a la carte restaurants based on how many nights we were staying. All seemed fairly straight forward and there was a little area in which the kids could play at the side of reception whilst we were checking in.
What they didn’t tell us at check-in
They didn’t really explain the map at check-in – the map is pretty rubbish. It makes no reference to the fact that the hotel is on four levels and doesn’t let you know which level anything is on. Reception/lobby bar/theatre/sports bar/shop are all on level 4, the unheated pool, 2 heated pools, towel exchange, buffet restaurant, Asian and Italian restaurants, and castle are all on level 3, the children pools, bar, and adult-only infinity pool area are all on level 2 (or s2 on the lift) and the kid’s club, outdoor football area, running track, gym, spa and exit towards the back of the resort are on level 1. This shouldn’t really matter, but we had a pushchair, so it was incredibly hard to navigate around. Why? because most of the floors are only accessible via lifts for some reason if you cannot take the stairs outside. There were no stairs visible in the hotel itself so everyone in the hotel was relying on lifts, which meant that a wrong turn could take you an age! We got there in the end, but it really was a self-learning exercise that wasn’t needed if they had a clear map (it’s on the digital displays around the hotel too).
All of the information you need in regards to what’s on at the hotel can be found on an app or on the interactive displays in the hotel reception. There is a rolling programme of daytime and nighttime events, but you need to seek out the information through these channels. I’m not sure if we just didn’t get told about a welcome meeting from Jet2, or if this is the ‘all online no hassle’ approach to this resort (great if it is) they just need to signpost people where to get the information.
Food and drink
We were happy with the selection of food and drinks at the bars and restaurants. In fact, as far as all-inclusive goes, I’d say they did these very well. We’re not massively into spirits, so I couldn’t tell spirits apart from premium versions, the cocktails tasted good to me. The beer was San Miguel Especial and the soft drinks were Coca-cola, Fanta, Fanta lemon, sprite. There were fruit juice machines around too. As we had little ones with us we took our own Robinson’s juice and used the water machines to mix as we didn’t want them having fizzy drinks nor drinking fruit juice constantly.
The a la carte restaurants were OK too. Compact menus but a good break from eating buffet every night. The staff were attentive, the wait times for food when ordered wasn’t massive and there were other parents there with children, which was a help to us as we weren’t the only ones rushing against the clock to eat a meal. Staff were nice in all bars and restaurants. I could not fault them at all. I don’t think the quality of ingredients can sometimes be the best in all-inclusive hotels because they’re mass-producing, but everything was fresh, well presented and probably the best all-inclusive food I’ve had, and I’ve been to a fair few different places on AI!
Dreams factory fast food restaurant at the poolside was a nice touch. Food was cooked to order between 10-4 and salad and snacks such as ice cream available too free of charge. Food was obviously always fresh and it was quite a fast service. There was a locked freezer of branded ice creams which was available for a charge.
Rooms
The rooms are clean, a great size and very comfortable. We were most impressed by our junior suite which consisted of a huge bed, another double in an area which could be closed off from the other bed and a travel cot for the little one. The bath was deep, the shower was good and there were two toilets, one with the shower and one close to the door of the room which had a door to keep it separate. There was an included minibar, wardrobe and kettle area which were all much appreciated due to our little one still having a night time bottle. On every floor of the hotel, there were ‘baby stations’ which were equipped with microwaves and bottle sterilisers, which were a great addition. The balcony was also fairly well secured for toddlers too. There were two chairs, a table, and a mini washing line.
Entertainment
There is pool-based entertainment during the day for adults and a kids club for 3-11 years on level 1. I was informed that children between ages 3-4 could go if accompanied by an adult, but when we went to the kids club, I was expected to leave and they could call me if my 3 year old wanted to come out, otherwise, he would stay with them until 4 pm. He wasn’t happy about staying without me and to be honest, neither was I. We were advised the children could use the kids club between 6-7 on an evening if they wished as parents and children of all ages were permitted to be there – but as this was the earliest evening meal was available, we never took them up on the offer. There was a giant chessboard by the poolside and a ‘playground’ which was actually a room with toys and TV in. It is advertised to be open between 9 am-2 pm then between 7 pm-9 pm but what we later found was these are the times that it is supervised and by that I mean that you can leave your children in there with a member of the entertainment team whilst you eat without your children. The room itself is open anytime if you’re supervising your own children.
There was a nightly mini-disco and this was hit and miss depending on the members of staff taking it, there was a man named Carlos who was fantastic and engaging with the children and they absolutely loved it when he did it. Other times it was done by some girls who were just dreadful, they couldn’t have made it any more obvious that they thought this was the short-straw so spent the majority of the 30 minutes allocated to mini-disco getting children to shout 321 music DJ in various languages. It was really quite painful at times, especially for the kids, for whom Carlos and his discos had been the highlight only days previous.
The shows were quite obviously where the hotel put its entertainment budget. They had several during the week (all bookable) all with different storylines and choreography. They were all 8.30-9pm starts, so a difficult ask for little ones to stay up and sometimes the content a little on the dark side. There was a payable show starting the evening we left, tickets were 12 euros each, apparently thanks to the fact that people who lived on the island like to book into the hotel as day guests, so they were trying to tempt them into overnight stays during the quieter winter months.
Conclusion
We had a good week. We were cautious, given the things we’d seen about wind and sewerage smells! The wind was only an issue when we had a tail-end of a storm. The sewerage could be smelt when you were outside of the works, which were close to the sea-facing swim-up rooms, so I’d be cautious if I had one of those rooms. I think that it was possibly more suited to children aged 4+ because of the necessity of the use of lifts, late shows, kids club and size of the waterslides, but this is probably a mindful decision on their behalf as children aged 2 and under are free.
Would I go back? Maybe in a few years. It was a nice week but the customer service isn’t quite as polished as our stays in Iberostar hotels. The Iberostar Malaga Playa is still my favourite hotel that we’ve stayed in as a family and I would pick that one over Bahia Principle Fantasia. If you do have any questions about the hotel, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me via email here.
We’re so excited to embark on a brand new adventure as Ninja Warrior Teesside is set to open its doors at Teesside Park on 14th July! I noticed the Ninja Warrior Coming Soon signs next door to Showcase Cinema when I attended the Jackdaw premiere in January 2024. Great news for families like mine who are already big fans of the one in Leeds, which we recently visited so images in this post are from Leeds.
Teesside Park: The Ultimate Family Destination
Teesside Park, situated on the outskirts of Middlesbrough/Stockton has long been a popular destination for families seeking shopping, entertainment, and dining experiences. But now, it’s about to become even more exciting with the arrival of Ninja Warrior Teesside.
Ninja Warrior: A Test of Strength and Agility
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Ninja Warrior, it’s a high-energy obstacle course that tests your physical strength, agility, and mental determination. Inspired by the popular TV show, this course promises an unforgettable experience for kids and adults alike.
What to Expect at Ninja Warrior Teesside
Here’s a sneak peek into what you can expect when you visit Teesside Park’s Ninja Warrior Assault Course:
1. Variety of Obstacles
Get ready to tackle a wide range of obstacles, including rope swings, cargo nets, balance beams, and the iconic warped wall. The course is designed to challenge participants of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned adventurers.
2. Family-Friendly Fun
Ninja Warrior isn’t just for adults; it’s a fantastic activity for the whole family. Children as young as five can participate, making it the perfect outing for those looking to bond over shared challenges.
3. Safety First
Rest assured, safety is a top priority at the Ninja Warrior Assault Course. Trained staff members will be on hand to provide guidance and ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

Looking for a unique way to celebrate a birthday or special occasion? The Ninja Warrior Assault Course at Teesside Park is likely to offer party packages that include access to the course, just like the other parks around the country.
Plan Your Trip
Before you head out to Ninja Warrior Teesside, make sure to plan your visit accordingly. Check for any age or height restrictions, dress comfortably, and be prepared for an action-packed day. Our youngest child was 5 at the time of visiting and where he loved the inflatable section, he really struggled with many of the obstacles. Age 4 plus is advised on the website.
We can’t contain our excitement about the upcoming opening of the Ninja Warrior Assault Course at Teesside Park. It’s set to become one of the must-visit family attractions for Teessiders, county durham-ers and those from North Yorkshire , providing hours of fun and challenges for everyone. Stay tuned for more updates, and be ready to unleash your inner ninja at Teesside Park’s newest adventure destination!
One of the fantastic projects that I’ve been involved with is Coal Face, an artist pilot project in which we’ve been able to use Arts Council NPO funding for alongside The Cultural Spring’s CPP funding.
The outcomes also involve comprehensive first person research, verbatim poems and podcasts which have been funded through our Grand Challenges work with UCL.
The project culminates in an exhibition as well as the publication of a breathtaking publication due to be launched at Washington F Pit in September 2023.
Using visual tintype portraiture, Sunderland photographer Andy Martin and biographies and verbatim poems created by Dr Louise Powell capture the last generation of Washington Miners’ memories and sense of belonging in a changing coalfield community in the ‘Coal Face’ exhibition. The exhibition will be open to the public at Washington F Pit for the duration of September.
Funded by Redhills, The Cultural Spring and University College London (UCL), the exhibition recalls the era when the pits were still open and operational, examining the layering of place in an area where half a dozen pit villages had the superstructure of a new town imposed on top.
Nick Malyan, Chief Executive of The Redhills Charity, said: “Washington and Sunderland are integral parts of the former Durham Coalfield, so we’re delighted to be working with not only a brilliant Sunderland photographer in Andy Martin but partnering with The Cultural Spring and Sunderland Culture to deliver an exhibition that is rooted so firmly in the people, culture and heritage of the area.“
Alan Taitley, 91, who lives in Fulwell, was one of the ex-miners who participated in the project. Alan was born in Washington Glebe to a mining family and held roles including putting and power loading at F-Pit. After its closure, he worked at Boldon and Wearmouth Collieries.
The Coal Face exhibition coincides with annual heritage open days, for which Washington F Pit opens to the public. Despite officially closing as a pit in 1968, F Pit remains a fascinating historical attraction for locals and tourists wishing to learn about Sunderland’s coal mining heritage.
The exhibition will be open to the public from Monday, 4th September until Saturday, 30th September, 12-3 pm Monday-Saturday (closed Sunday). Visiting is free and no tickets are required.
We are no strangers to visiting Iberostar hotels with kids having previously stayed in Iberostar Málaga Playa in Spain and Iberostar Tainos in Cuba and have now visited Creta Panorama Mere twice.
We visited Iberostar Málaga Playa with a one-year-old and Iberostar Tainos with an 18-month-old.
On our most recent visit to an Iberostar hotel with kids we had an eight-year-old and five-year-old with us. So this is a review based on staying at Iberostar Creta Panorama and Mere with kids aged 8 and 5. We also stayed at the same hotel the year before when they were 7 and 4.
Iberostar compared to other brands
Our last package holiday, which wasn’t an Iberostar, we visited Fantasia Bahia Principe in Tenerife to see what we thought about another chain. Needless to say the fact that we have gone back to Iberostar shows that for the ages of our children, we preferred what they had to offer.
Fantasia Bahia Principe shows were a lot later and for older audiences – although the production values were much greater it was wasted on us as the children were too tired to stay up for them!
Jet2holidays
One constant in all of our bookings on package holidays is that we have always gone through Jet2holidays because we have always been very happy with the level of service. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any parent looking for hassle-free travel.
Flying from Newcastle or Leeds Bradford
We have flown from Newcastle and Leeds Bradford with Jet2holidays. Jet2 were staff faultless both times, although the set up around car parking is slightly better at Newcastle, so would always opt to travel from there if possible. I urge anyone traveling from Leeds Bradford to read the reviews on parking before making a selection, in particular around Meet and Greet options.
General information about Iberostar Panorama and Mare
The Iberostar Creta Panorama & Mare is a 4-star beachfront hotel located in the Cretan village of Panormos. It has direct access to two private beaches, seven pools, free Wi-Fi, Star Camp for children (kids clubs for different ages), a paid for spa. I visited the spa for a massage package (some kind of olympic themed body massage and head massage which was approximately £165, I wouldn’t really recommend for the price).
What are the board options?
You can visit the Iberostar Creta Panorama & Mare on an all inclusive or half-board basis. We went all inclusive both times, so we got a band to wear throughout our visit so staff could see that we didn’t have to put snacks or drinks onto our room tab. Half board customers also got waiter service for drinks on an evening, whereas all inclusive helped themselves to what was on draught as well as being able to made to order drinks via the waiters. Although service was incredibly slow in the bar on an evening. Wasn’t too bad during the entertainment but pre-mix cocktailed and few beers and spirits were a limited offer.
What was the room like?
We have experienced two accommodation types – the sea view bungalows and junior suites. Our ‘sea view’ which we paid extra for was restricted by a building! So we thought we had been placed in the wrong accommodation as we checked in at 3am when it was dark. The next three images show what the bungalow offered.
Technically we could see the sea – but it definitely wasn’t what was advertised. The bungalows are small for a family of four – and the set up seems to be different in each bungalow. The first year that we visited this hotel, we were placed in a bungalow where one of the beds was positioned outside of the bathroom in an area without air conditioning and three beds in the main room. We visited Crete during the July 2023 heatwave, one of our children sleeping in an area without air conditioning isn’t something we had considered when we heard about the potential temperatures before departure.

Bed outside of bathroom area which was not serviced by air conditioning
My partner went to reception to raise his concern about the accommodation not being as we had booked and the Manager was extremely helpful and went over and above offering us a variety of options to move to. We moved to the junior suite which had views of the pool – it had three balconies and a separate sleeping area for both children it was perfect. Small issue in that it was right above the bar which didn’t close until midnight, but this wasn’t an issue once we had repositioned the children’s beds away from the balcony and to be against an internal wall instead.
In 2024, prices had risen dramatically for visiting, so we opted for a bungalow knowing what we were faced with but were pleasantly surprised this year when we had bunk beds in an area where there was air-conditioning. So maybe we got an older style which was due renovation in that first year of visiting.

The junior suites were newer than the bungalows and from looking around the area it looks as though the bungalows may have been part of an Aegean holiday company before being taken over by Iberostar and the main hotel block was built at a later date. The entire resort was immaculate and the landscaping was spectacular.
Food and drinks
Considering the quantities that it is made in, the all-inclusive good is extensive and tasty. We did notice that all of the drinks were incredibly sugary and the wine on offer with the all-inclusive was pretty terrible.
The sparking wine and cocktails were ok so we survived! They had cocktails of the day available as well as Aperol spritz and made-to-order drinks at two of the main bars you had to walk into. There were bars situated by all pools with the exception of the baby pool and a swim-up bar in the main pool.
There were a variety of fresh fruits, pasta, pizza, chips and ice cream available daily as well as daily changes to the menu and speciality themes. There is a food outlet at one of the beach coves which offers drinks, chicken gyros and lovely doughnuts.
There are bookable restaurants such as the BBQ which is great if you’re a lover of meat and fish – you just use the online booking system to book in. Between 2023 and 2024 there was a change where you now needed to book a time for the buffet evening meal to prevent overcrowding in the restaurant. Your reservations were checked as you entered and we never had any problems with getting our required times as we typically dined early to prevent the kids from getting hangry.
Entertainment
Iberostar, like most companies, have an onsite team responsible for entertainment poolside, for the kids and also for everyone on an evening. The ‘animation’ team are multilingual and multitalented. They are vivacious, outgoing and work long hours! The hotel offers kids club 4-7 then other clubs for older kids. Poolside activities such as aquagym and volleyball as well as the theatre based activities later. They had a good variety of shows for everyone and weren’t as cringe as you can find in some places.
As with all Iberostars we’ve been to Starkey and Stella were involved with the mini disco along with the animation team. Show started at 8.30, given the 2 hours time difference this was really good.
The main shows started at 9.30 and lasted approximately one hour. There was then a bar opened at 10.30 for more cocktails and dancing if you liked. The main bar in the hotel also offered Greek style music and DJ sets until around 11 before it closed at midnight.
Added bonus for us was A FOOTBALL pitch! In need of some maintenance, this was a welcome addition to our holiday for our football mad child, so much so we went back for a second year as we knew it ticked all of our boxes. Many of the staff were the same from the year before, but the energy levels felt a little lower for the staff who had been there a long time.
There was a brand new Iberostar next door, which I believe was five star, but we had no reason to switch and pay the additional £800 it would have cost as Creta Panorama had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday.
Tuesdays is Hartbeeps Day for us in our week of baby groups in Darlington. Again, shying away from traditional playgroups because we have seen the rewards of going to taught sessions; Hartbeeps offers something for both children in our household. Either as individuals for the benefits of one-on-one time or as a pair, I never have to worry about anyone missing out, thanks to their understanding that people often have children close together in age.
The tunes in Hartbeeps are often based on ones you know, with a little Hartbeeps twist. So children benefit from the sense of familiarity as well as developing their listening skills.
2. Set routines that may help you at home
The sessions follow the same structure, which is fantastic as children learn through repetition. The activities are never the same, as the theme is changed weekly throughout the term, but the basic core structure remains, which allows the children to anticipate what is next. The wind-down session is great to incorporate into your own bedtime routine. I have two children who go to two different sessions but the fundamentals of the wind-down are the same, so it allows them both to be familiar with what is happening through the use of songs, a Hartbeeps star and turning the lights down. This has often saved me when doing bedtimes when I am solo parenting!
3. Some Cheeky Classics Which Will Make Parents Smile
If you were anything like me and enjoyed a nightclub or two back in the noughties, even the occasional jaunt to Ibiza, you’ll appreciate the little nods to a simpler time in your life with Hartbeeps versions of classics such as Nalin and Kane- Beachball in some of the sessions! If you were more of a fan of latin music, they’ve got something for you too as the Lambada was modernised for the farming community to become the Lamb Baa Baa.
4. Lovely Classes
All of the parents in our classes are absolutely lovely. I don’t have the easiest of toddlers and Ali, who owns the franchise has been absolutely amazing. If it wasn’t for her, I’m sure I wouldn’t leave the house with my toddler because his behaviour was feral. We started the Happy House class so that we had some one-to-one time, but it was rough. As he is not vying for my attention with his brother, he likes to use the opportunity to let me know that his emotions overwhelm him. A new baby, hearing and speech issues meant he was emotionally in turmoil a lot of the time. Ali has been so kind and patient with us both. She’s been incredibly understanding and encouraging in the sessions with him, taking it as a win if he joins in and tries again next time if he doesn’t. I’ve also never felt judged by anyone for his behaviour and always extremely welcome. She also takes the time to comment on any social media posts she sees of the boys. People really do buy into people and Hartbeeps really does feel like you belong to a village which supports each other. I can’t express enough for any parent a little bit scared of baby groups or has a feral toddler, that Hartbeeps really is fantastic.
5. Quality
The content of the classes is exceptionally high quality and so are all of the props! I’ve never seen such an exquisite parachute – but the parachute used in Baby Beeps and Baby Bells is something else! You never have to worry about cleanliness around little babies in this class, it is the cleanest and anything that comes into contact with the children is the highest quality I’ve ever seen in baby groups in Darlington.
6. Something For Everyone – baby groups in Darlington that you can stick with!
We’ve found something that the children can enjoy as individuals or if I need to, I can take them to class together. The classes are grouped by development stage rather than age but as a rough indication, Baby Bells class is for newborn to won’t sit still any longer, Baby Beeps is for little explorers and Happy House is for toddlers and suitable until they start reception. So your child can have that sense of familiarity from the start, which can only be a good thing. The baby groups are available in Darlington and Newton Aycliffe through the particular franchise owner we are familiar with. Other areas are available. Trials are encouraged as each person will put their own spin on delivery.
