Fun at The Frosted Fairground

On Saturday we wrapped up warm

And headed to Dreamland Margate

We were off to explore

All the fun of

The Frosted Fairground

Having been last year

We knew a little of what to expect

And so the children were very excited

Very very excited

We ate a picnic lunch in the car

On the way to Margate

So that when we arrived we were ready for adventure

We met up with my uncle and aunty

And my uncle told us that he had not been to Dreamland

Since he was 10 years old

Quite a few years ago!

We had a milkshake by The Roller Disco

Explored the arcade

And collected our wristbands

Dreamland is free to enter for everyone

You can buy tokens at the park to pay for one or two rides

Or for unlimited access you can buy a wristband

You can do this on arrival

Or prepay online for a better deal

A day of rides at Dreamland

Would cost our family of 5

Around £40

We love Dreamland

The children love the rides

And I love the feel of the park

I love what the team are trying to do

Create a magical, vintage experience

Not too loud

Not too flashy

The park is clean and tidy

The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful

Fantastic with families

Food is good and not over priced

This is a special place

For families to spend time together

And make truly magical memories

If you get chance to visit

Please do

Especially with little people

The Octopus Garden soft play is lovely

sand play

This weekend though

We were there to see The Frosted Fairground

And to meet a certain jolly fellow

In a bright red coat

the big man

Now we visited Santa’s Grotto

At The Frosted Fairground last year

And it was brilliant

This year sadly it was not so good

The large space we had sung and danced in last year

Had been split into two smaller rooms

There were too many people in each room

At a time

bauble sorting

And the activities

Though good festive fun ideas

Were not executed very well

elf help

Last year the whole experience was light and open

With grown ups standing outside the elf cabin

Looking through windows at their children having fun

This year it was dark and cramped

And there was a lot of hanging around

The best bits of the grotto experience

Were having ride ons to play on while waiting

For the Elf Department to open

waiting on a train

And a fantastic sleigh to sit on and take family photos

sleigh smiles

Father Christmas was lovely

And the children loved sitting with him

And telling him what they would like for Christmas this year

It was good that a photo was included in the cost of the visit

As to be honest the presents were not great

Esther got a small wooden spinning top and a bag of marbles

William got a box of wooden dominoes

They did not compare to the chocolate machines from last year!

The Santa Grotto Experience at Dreamland this year

Costs £9.95

So at £30 for my three little people

I am not sure I would pay the price

And I am not really sure that you need to

So many places now offer a chance to meet Father Christmas

With magical walk through grottos

Nowhere else that I know of

Offers the magic of the Dreamland Park

The vintage rides

That children and the young at heart

Want to ride again and again and again!

again

On Saturday we had most of the rides to ourselves

There were no queues at all

And we could ride on things over and over again

Bea loved the double decker merry go round

And the Austin Cars

Esther and William loved the swing boats

They loved taking my aunty and uncle on them

They also took them on the Caterpillar

The carousel

The ghost train

Such a wonderful afternoon filled with fun

And we stayed into the evening too

With everyone except pregnant me

Flying high in the aeroplanes in the dark

I think that this might have been William’s highlight

Dreamland by night is beautiful

And the perfect place for Bea

To have her very first taste of candy floss

Which, of course, she loved!

We had such a lovely time

At The Frosted Fairground

I hope that many more people will visit

Throughout the festive season

We had a fabulous, festive, family time

Thank you Dreamland and goodnight x

sweet dreams

We were invited to experience Dreamland’s Frosted Fairground free of charge in return for an honest review
