K&K at Sim and Sam’s Party & Playtown, Hyderabad

Ever since we arrived in Hyderabad, I have often wondered where to take the kids for play. Kid-friendly, kid-centered places and amusements are still so scarce even in large cities like Hyderabad. The choices we have in hand are so less that we often resort to movies and malls. Due to the lack of proper parks, some of us who would like our kids to be engaged in fun physical activities, end up taking our kids to Decathlon store for them to play!

I was super excited when Namrata Bhagtani-Sadhvani, Chief Editor of Momspresso invited me and my kids, along with a few mommy bloggers to check out the new branch of Sim and Sam’s Party & Playtown at Uppal.

The facility has been set up in a large area. Each activity is well spaced from each other in way you do not feel cramped.

The entire surface is well cushioned. The kids are free to jump, swing, slide and run with absolutely no fear of hurting themselves.

The Ball Pit was one of the places my girls spent most of their time. They simply loved sliding into the heap of balls!

I have been to a couple of other indoor play areas previously. I was super disappointed because parents were strictly not allowed into the play area and there was no one to supervise the kids. My girls were much younger back then and they got lost and scared when they got into the maze of slides and obstacles!

Sim and Sam’s have done an excellent job by giving parents access to all parts of the play area. They have also placed very friendly and caring staff across the play area to help and supervise kids! I was totally impressed!

My girls were over the moon when they saw all the climbing activities! How they love to climb!

K&K’s Visit to Mariefred, Sweden

Travelling to new countries and continents is exciting. But let’s not discount the hidden gems that are tucked right where we are! After a day of treating ourselves with Swedish treats and an afternoon by the beach at the Taxinge Slott/Castle, we headed to the little town of Mariefred, one such gem, which is situated on the outskirts of Stockholm.

K&K’s Trip to Taxinge-Näsby Slott/Castle from Stockholm

To visit the Swedish country side has been on our mind for a long time. Out of the many recommendations that we received, we boiled down our choices to Trosa or Mariefred! Me being an ardent lover of castles, we decided to go with Mariefred!

Once we made the decision to visit Mariefred, I began my usual research. This time, apart from looking for information online and asking recommendations from friends, I did something new. I joined a Mariefred Facebook group and asked the locals for recommendations! A majority of them had suggested we spend a day at Taxinge on the way to Mariefred!
