What’s Good Britain

Britain! What’s good?

Sometimes we can find ourselves struggling to find things to do. Whether it’s places to see as a family or things to do with friends.

The truth is there is that much to do and see in Britain that we are usually very spoilt for choice and/or don’t know where to start!

Finding things to do and see in Britain has been fun and exciting. Especially when it comes to places that we haven’t been before.

We love food and having lots of fun, no doubt that you do too. We decided to have a wander around the Britain and have a look at some of the low rated places and top rated places…

…From eating out, crazy golf to sight seeing, theme parks and much more!

We have a look around Britain for some hidden gems and well known attractions to see what we love and what could be improved.

So…

What’s Good Britain!

NOTTINGHAM

Fun Station

If you enjoy the classic arcade games. This is a great place to visit! With plenty of games to choose from, you will not get bored when you visit Fun Station.

The cashless arcade is very interesting. You just top up your card from a choice of different packages and of you go…you just swipe away!

Fun Station is great for all ages and you can collect tokens to exchange for prizes. It’s very affordable and also a great gift idea.

There are 7 other Fun Station venues shattered around the UK. You can check them out here

So far we have only checked out the one in Nottingham but we will be checking out a couple more this year to see how different the difference locations.

Razzle Dazzle

Razzle Dazzle is a fun and relaxing place for creative people. There is a wide range of pottery to paint and decorate, they even cater for parties.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.

When you first go, they explain what to do and how to do it. Sessions usually last around an hour but you can also come back at a later date to finish your masterpiece.

They even offer kits to do at home. Themed pottery selections for Christmas, Halloween, Easter and other special occasions.

We have been to Razzle Dazzle many times and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for anything different to do or if you love to be creative.

Fat Hippo

Fat Hippo has many venues across the UK.

We visited Fat Hippo in Nottingham. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The venue was very interesting looking and the menu had a great variety. We chose to try their most popular burger on the menu. It was delicious.

There is seating outside and we couldn’t help but take a photograph of their sign!

If you have tried their burgers then you will get it…We absolutely love the sign.

The children menu was a great little touch to the place and made it a great place to bring the family. It had a fun little menu to choose from and children could draw their burger then colour it in.

We really enjoyed eating at Fat Hippo in Nottingham and like we said there are 7 more restaurants across the UK that you can visit.

The Lost City

The Lost City is another great place to go with the family or even friends. We visited the one in Nottingham first to see what all the fuss was about!

When we arrived it was very busy and we waited about 10 minutes but this might of been because we went during the school holidays.

Because it was so busy, it was fun but felt quite rushed and there was also periods of waiting around for the next hole which was quite frustrating.

Our overall experience was good though and we thought it was reasonably priced too.

There is also a bar area if you fancy a bite to eat and drink. We didn’t go to the bar but I am sure will we next time and keep you posted on our experience.

The Lost City has 2 other venues and you can find out more here

Greens Windmill & Science Center

Built in the 1800s and restored, Greens Windmill & Science Center is one of the few windmills in the UK that still work. At the bottom of a little hill there is a small playground, plenty of grass for a picnic and plenty of benches.

Billionz Lounge

Billionz Lounge is a stunning new spot hidden away up on Trinity Walk Nottingham. With beautiful decor and an open rooftop, it is a wonderful place to relax anytime during the day. Whether it be for a small bite to eat after work or a few cocktails with the ladies for your birthday, you won’t be disappointed!

As they state on their website they bring to Nottingham an experience fused with luxury, class and energy. Which we can honestly say, we were very impressed and they did deliver.

Because their menu offers a wide range of unique dishes and cocktails, it would make an ideal place for date nights or a place to go before hitting the nightclubs. Although, Billionz Lounge doesn’t close at a weekend until 2 am so you could even stay there until close and listen to some incredible mixes from their DJs.

Take a look at their website to find out more HERE they have a lot to offer and we definitely recommend visiting Billionz Lounge one weekend. Children can dine before 6pm too.

The Alchemist Nottingham, another great place to visit if you love something new and interesting.

Not only is the building on the outside very eye catching but so is the inside and even the drinks!

It is definitely one of those places that you have to go see yourself. They even have a light up masterpiece on the back wall in the dining area.

The Alchemist offer an unique experience every time, with a wide range of otherworldly cocktails that’s come in large test tubes, smoking and the most unusual colours you will every see.
