Last weekend we hopped in the car to Movieland in Germany. Just about an hour and half away. I recommend it for people with small children (at least 90 cm, that is). They have a Nick Jr. themed area that our kids loved. Blues Clues, Wonder Pets, Dora, Diego, etc.

Swiper's Sweeper Ride - like a mini scrambler

Diego's Jeep - bounces and "drives"
We saw a Shrek 4-D short movie. The 4-D aspect is that you feel the movie. ie when Shrek rides a horse, the seat gallops. When Dragon sneezes, you get wet! We wore silly glasses that made the movie jump out at us.

So brave - Andrew with Shrek


There was also a Santa Monica Pier area. Complete with a Jaws exhibit. There was also a Jet Ski ride that Katie and Ned had a lot of fun on.
