While we were in Brussels we took a day trip by train to Antwerp, mainly to go to the zoo. The great thing about this zoo is that it's a 1 minute walk from the train station which is ideal if you're travelling with kids.

The reviews I read beforehand said it was a tiny zoo, that it would take an hour or two maximum to get around. How wrong they were!

Antwerp Zoo was amazing and one of the best things we did while we were in Belgium. There are so many different animals to see, with huge enclosures. Not only that, but there are some great playgrounds and huge cafes for when you need a break.

If you can make the trip to Antwerp, then the zoo should be right at the top of your list of places to go.

One of the things I loved about Brussels was walking around and looking at the street art.

Although you can get a map, or take a free tour, we just liked finding different things as we walked around. This is a great way to spend some time in the city, take fun photos and best of all... it doesn't cost anything!

One of my favourites was this colourful bike display!

The thing to eat when you're in Belgium? Frites of course!

It's customary to have frites with mayonnaise in Belgium but I'm more of a ketchup kind of girl.

What would you have on yours?

AD | You can't go to Brussels without visiting the Atomium.

Just outside of the city centre, Atomium was originally built for the 1958 World's Fair and due to be scrapped afterwards. Instead, it was kept and then given a new lease of life between 2004 and 2006!

Now, Atomium is open as a museum and art gallery, with both permanent and temporary exhibitions. You can learn about Atomium's history and discover what's in the other spheres.

Our visit included spheres with fantastic light installations, which we could have watched for hours. Erin thought it was like having a massive party and loved dancing around in the big space.

From the viewing deck, you'll get amazing panoramic views of Brussels. We spent some time trying to pick out things we could find and see if we could figure out where our hotel was!

Did you know there are farms in London? We recently discovered Spitalfields City Farm on our last trip to London and had the best time.

Entrance to the farm is free; of course, this is always great for cutting down costs on a city trip. You'll be able to see some cute animals on the farm, such as pigs, rabbits, chickens and donkeys, to name a few.

The farm isn't huge but there is a little cafe serving drinks and snacks, as well as a cool treehouse and bug hotel. We spent quite a bit of time exploring and figuring out which our favourite animals were. The farm cat, June, was a hit with us all!

Have you been to a farm in London before?

Save this post for your next trip to London! Full review on travelwiththeohallorans.com

AD | Did you know that Cromer Pier has a theatre?

Right now, you can see The Cromer Pier Christmas Show all the way up to 30th December.

This is such a good Christmas show for the whole family. There's singing, dancing, comedy, and some amazing illusions. Erin was sat open mouthed through most of the show, and we all had a fantastic time.

What a wonderful way to get in the mood for Christmas!

Now that John can drive, we're trying to explore more of Norfolk, and we spent today at Banham Zoo thanks to a £10 ticket offer.

Banham Zoo isn't massive, so it's great for younger children. You'll still get to see great animals though such as tigers, giraffes, red pandas and sloths... just to name a few.

If you fancy taking your own food there are plenty of picnic tables or other options include the Parkside Pizza Restaurant or The Glade. We had such a great meal of chicken tenders, pizza and chips and it was well worth the money.

We had the best day, slowly wandering around and seeing the animals, ending with some time at the play area for Erin.

What's the best Zoo you've ever been to?

AD | It can be really hard to find a good family restaurant when you're exploring somewhere new, especially abroad.

In Ghent, we were treated to an amazing meal at @uilenspiegel_gent, right in the centre of the city.

The menu has some Belgian classics as well as enough to keep fussy eaters happy!

We enjoyed a real range of food from deep fried mozzarella and meat balls to steak and salmon. Erin was well taken care of, with colouring brought out immediately and followed by chicken fingers and fries.

For our trip to Belgium last month we took the Eurostar, rather than flying. We'd never travelled to Europe by train before so it was definitely going to be an experience for us all.

While St. Pancras was quite stressful and a bit manic, now that we've done it once I would be more relaxed the next time.

The great thing about Eurostar is you don't have luggage restrictions in the same way as on a plane and we didn't have to pay for any luggage allowance. When you're away for 8 nights, this is a huge help, especially with a 6 year old.

Seats are allocated so you know where you'll be sitting ahead of time. We shared a table seat with 1 other lady (who got off at Lille) and we had loads of space. Erin watched a film the whole way from London to Brussels so the journey was super easy!

Have you been on the Eurostar before?

Is there anything better than a roast you didn't cook, especially on a Sunday?!

(I wish this was from today, but it was from a trip to York earlier in the year)

AD | Thursford Christmas Spectacular... a show people travel miles and miles to come and see. This year I got to experience the magic for the first time.

From the minute you arrive, you're transported to a Christmas wonderland with things to see everywhere. Be sure to arrive early enough to have a good look around.

Inside the theatre, the spectacular decorations continue and I'm not sure I've ever been anywhere so Christmassy. It puts you in the mood and ready to see a great show.

The show itself... wow. It's so hard to put into words just how amazing it is. From choirs to comedians to can-can dancing and Christmas carols, it has something for everyone.

Tickets do sell out, especially on weekends so you have to book your tickets early enough. 2023 goes on sale online on 15th December!

We will absolutely be booking again for next year so that we can take Erin.

Keep an eye out for a review on the blog next week.
