Dragged my 4 young kids across town, on foot, on a boiling hot day many years ago to the local park fete.I'd heard that there was a massive merry-go-round there and as my kids had never seen a real one I knew they'd be amazed.
They were flagging a bit until we'd dragged ourselves up the last hill and suddenly came to it.
They stopped dead in their tracks and the eldest, who was about 9 or 10, was so overcome that she screamed 'MERRY GO ROUND!' at the top of her voice. Magic!

Must have been a lovely moment - satisfying for you too.

Yes!I remember my little 'un's amazement during and after our visit to the Dragonfly Maze at Bourton-on-the-Water, when he was 3. Specifically after, as he proceeded to tell every passer-by excitedly about what happens at the end of the maze...
