BUCKET-LIST FAMILY EXPERIENCES IN EUROPE

Mini muggles can now take a ride on an 84-mile ride from the highest mountain in Ben Nevis to the deepest saltwater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis. Book a vintage compartment carriage to live out your Harry Potter moment. They might not have a Butter Beer, but you can enjoy a sumptuous cream tea as you journey across the scenic Scottish landscape.

The sky is the limit when it comes to kids' imaginations, which is why a private jet company has joined with famed kids’ party planners Sharky & George to offer a vacation that your kids will never forget. They will have the chance to go on a secret mission and feel what it’s like to be James Bond for the day.

What could make staying in a luxe hotel in London more exciting? When your suite is filled with Lego. The Rosewood London has joined with Legoland to create a truly unique experience. Kids will be welcomed at the entrance of their two-bedroom suite by two Queen’s Guards, before they enter the suite where they will find UK landmarks made entirely out of Lego and a portrait of themselves made out of the colourful bricks. If that’s not enough they will then enjoy a VIP helicopter ride to the Legoland theme park in Windsor.

Kids don’t have to wait until they pass their driving tests to enjoy an off-road adventure — thanks to the new kids’ course at Gleneagles in Scotland they can go mud bashing now. Tots aged four to nine years old can make a splash in mini Land Rovers as they drive around a purpose-built course. So what we want to know is: Why didn’t this exist when we were young?
