A Day Out With Poppy Cat at Nickelodeon Land

The girls were thrilled the other week when I told them that Poppy Cat had invited us to visit her at Nickelodeon Land in Blackpool. Our little Pops was especially excited to be meeting one of her favourite cartoon characters and (of course)namesake. Looking back I probably shouldn’t have told them straight away, as I was asked daily from then on ‘when are we going to meet Poppy Cat?’

Finally the day arrived last Saturday. We travelled up north on Friday night and stayed with our friends the Mini Travellers, who live an hour away from Blackpool (where ‘Nickelodeon Land’ is part of the famous Pleasure Beach). We arrived in time for opening at 11am with five very excited little girls, all under the age of five.

Instantly, the excitement of Nickelodeon Land took hold and all the colours and different rides filled their big eyes. For the next few hours we ran from one ride to the next, going up and down, round and round, floating on a boat and bouncing in a car. You name it we did it!!

Then just after lunch the girls finally got a chance to meet, cuddle, dance and play with Poppy Cat. She made three appearances throughout the day, so we managed to catch up with her a few times!! As well as some of the other famous Nickelodeon characters.

We had such a great day up in Blackpool. The weather was bright and sunny, the crowds were low (which meant no, or very little queues) and the girls were on good form! For them, it was pretty much a perfect day! Meeting their TV heroes, going on ride after ride, pizza for lunch, ice cream in the afternoon and hanging out with their new friends from Mini Travellers. The two big girls (Lili and Lily) were inseparable all day and went on many rides together - on their own I might add. Most of the rides in Nickelodeon Land are designed for young kids so there were no issues with height restrictions.

That night we stayed at The Big Blue Hotel, which is part of Blackpool Pleasure Beach. This meant we could easily walk back to the hotel and have a relaxing night after our very busy day! Our family room was split into two, one section was designed for the kids, painted pale blue, with bunk beds and TVs on the wall - which the girls loved.

I live quite close to Blackpool but have never taken my little ones to the Pleasure Beach, but I will definitely try and visit now - it looks so much fun!
