SHREK ’ S ADVENTURE !
LONDON

Wow , what an adventure ! Shrek ’ s Adventure ! London is right on the south bank of the River Thames near Waterloo and Westminster , so everyone can see some of London ’ s most famous sights - it really does have something for everyone !

From the entrance of Shrek ’ s Adventure ! London , you can see some of London ’ s most famous buildings including Big Ben , the Houses of Parliament , Westminster Bridge and the London Eye . As you walk into the adventure , you are met by very friendly and happy people in character , who set you up for the experience you ’ re about to go on . From here , you start your adventure and can take pictures with some of your favourite characters .
challenge themselves by downloading the Brockhill Country Park map and following the markers along its permanent course . For those more digitally inclined , the free MapRun app also offers three virtual routes to follow directly from your phone , with the option to compare results with others online . After becoming a true explorer of the Brockhill Country Park , visitors can navigate themselves towards the Brockhill Cafe for a well-deserved treat .
Belmont Kitchen Garden Workshop with Wild Classroom , Faversham wildclassroom . co . uk
Offering unique outdoor cooking experiences in Kent ’ s woodlands , Wild Classroom teaches campfire cooking for both adults and children . With the goal of combining ancient techniques with modern understanding , it ’ s never been easier to cook fresh , healthy recipes in the great outdoors .
Once you ‘ board the bus ’ though , no cameras are allowed ! From here , the real fun begins . An amazing experience that makes you feel like you ’ re in the film Shrek , the adventure sends you through different scenes from the film , so children from the group can look around the scene and help to solve all of the clues to get you back to the bus . We don ’ t want to ruin any surprises , but adults can also join in the fun , too !
You don ’ t even need to know anything about the film to experience the fun , which was a big bonus for us ! Throughout the adventure , we had fun and remembered all of the clues , making the end of the game something we were all involved in . Once you ’ ve finished the adventure , you are able to meet other characters from different films and have pictures taken , which we really enjoyed , especially Kung Fu Panda ! We would highly recommend Shrek ’ s Adventure ! London , and with it being so close to Kent - with a weekend £ 1 rail fare for children and tickets available via Cadbury ’ s Family Fun Days - Shrek ’ s Adventure ! London is a must !
