Valentine’s Day: The Kid at Heart

Your schmoopy has a youthful spirit. Bubbly and outgoing, they’ve managed to hang onto their imagination and sense of wonder well into adulthood.

Date ideas: Enter the fantasy world of Disney via two wonderful productions where your babykins can journey through Agrabah on a magic carpet or roam the Pridelands with a lion cub. Have an enchanted evening strolling trails lit with dazzling illuminations of a dragon and giant fire rooster, the zodiac animal for this Chinese New Year. Share some giggles as comedian James Campbell makes fun of everything from couscous to penguins. Your honeybun’s jaw will drop open with delight while watching aerialists, jugglers and a clown named Tweedy or while checking out the awesome cars of their favourite special agent – 007, of course. And score major points by taking your pumpkin to a London Lions b-ball game where they can cheer their heart out alongside Louis the Lion, the team’s mascot.
