Your resident explorer will look after you as you journey along through the enchanted woods. Pick up your activity booklet and some I Spy sheets and see how many creatures you can spot. Not only that, but as you journey through the ancient mine you might even spot a fire-breathing dragon there… It protects the precious crystals.

If you dive into the nature corner, you’ll find creepy crawlies and bugs that you can tick off in your activity booklet! But watch out for Gormley the troll who may trap any unsuspecting children!!
