This immersive, family attraction has ten fairytale-themed live shows to explore, featuring real-life actors, special effects and DreamWorks Animation, in search of The BGG (that's Big Green Guy).
Excited squeals
My sons, George, five, and three-year-old Olly, were enchanted as we boarded the 4D flying bus driven, erratically, by their favourite character, Donkey.
Water was squirted at us as we veered too close to a river, and the wind whipped our hair as we zoomed into the clouds. Cue lots of excited squeals.
Hundreds of thousands of Shrek fans, including celeb mums Myleene Klass and Amy Childs, pay a visit to Shrek's Adventure! London every year.
No wonder it is a TripAdvisor Traveller's Choice.
On our visit, we 'crashed' the bus and bumped off one of Rumpelstiltskin's favourite witches, and were then tasked with collecting ingredients to make an escape potion.
Audience participation, especially getting grown-ups to do silly things, is at the heart of this hilarious experience.
Cinderella persuaded my husband Patrick, 39, to put his hand down the loo in search of gold.
The kids went wild as loud fart noises filled the room.
A fortune teller then directed us to the Poison Apple Pub, where we danced with barmaid Doris and bumped into Puss in Boots.

George delighted in being given one of the cat's (gross) furballs — necessary for our magic brew, apparently.
We got lost in the Mirror Maze — Olly was in awe, 'Mummy, there are loads of us!' — before Sleeping Beauty saved us.
Despite the fact she kept dozing off, to much amusement, we reached The Bakery, where the Muffin Man helped us mix the elixir, spurred on by 'Gingy' The Gingerbread.
The kids gasped as the cauldron bubbled.
Just when we thought it was all over, we were thrown in prison. Plot twist.
Fortunately, Princess Fiona was there to help us make our getaway.
We were then congratulated on our heroism by Shrek, who greeted us with high-fives, before we headed back into the real world.
Shrek's Adventure! London is far far and away the best day out. If only we could spend all summer there.

Veteran newsreader Jan Leeming, 83, takes swipe at current generation of TV anchors for their 'bad pronunciation, mumbled speech and heavy accents'
She joined the BBC in 1990, a year after Margaret Thatcher got the keys to 10 Downing Street, and was one of a new wave of female news anchors. But Jan Leeming, 83, has taken a swipe at the current generation of newsreaders, criticising their pronunciation, mumbled speech and heavy accents. She wrote on X earlier this month: 'Am I just showing my age being so picky, but surely a national newsreader should be aware of correct pronunciation. 'Just heard "grievious" twice from an ITV newsreader. The word is grievous. The other is mischievious - it's mischievous - three syllables not four. 'We had spelling tests every week. I suppose today one doesn't have to bother. AI and predictive texting will do it all for you. 'You still have to speak with correct pronunciation and clarity. Have given up on mumbled speech and heavy accents and hope I'll get the gist eventually. '"Ss" for the presenters and newsreaders who cannot pronounce fifth and sixth - even some of my favourites. Oh, don't forget February and jewellery. 'If you aren't taught and corrected, then you perpetuate the incorrect pronunciation. And the ubiquitous "like" used every few words by a large proportion of the young. It is lazy.' Alongside her presenting, Ms Leeming has become equally well known for her financial troubles – she only appeared on I'm A Celebrity because she was 'flat broke' – and her cheating husbands. Her post comes after crossbench peer Lord Jones, of Birmingham criticised BBC Olympics presenter Alex Scott for spoiling coverage of the 2020 Games with her accent. 'Enough! I can't stand it anymore!' he wrote on X. 'Alex Scott spoils a good presentational job on the BBC Olympics Team with her very noticeable inability to pronounce her "g"s at the end of a word. 'Can't someone give these people elocution lessons? I fear that it may be aped by youngsters along the lines of the use of the moronic interrogative originally caused by "Neighbours"; on behalf of the English Language ... Help!' And two years ago, BBC newsreader Nick Owen pronounced Jay Z's name wrongly on an episode of Midlands Today, saying Jay Zed rather than Jay Zee. Leeming's post attracted more than 236,000 hits, prompting her to write: 'Goodness Gracious Me (think Peter Sellars....) 'Can't believe it - 236K hits on my comments about incorrect pronunciation! Really did stir up a hornets' nest. At least I'm not alone. NIGHT NIGHT ALL.' She even hinted at her dislike for deputy PM Angela Rayner, nicknamed Two Homes Rayner, who has a strong Mancunian accent. Responding to a tweet which said: 'If it's good enough for the Dep PM - nucleer - then it must be okay,' she replied: 'Please don't go down that road. I could be locked up for my opinion of that person.' Leeming, voted TV personality of the year after she presented the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest, sparked outrage last year after she complained she no longer got work because she was too 'old', spoke RP and didn't tick 'modern boxes'. She later clarified on GB News that she didn't mean that she was too posh for TV. 'I'm not posh,' she said. 'I grew up in Southeast London - Woolwich. My father had had a wonderful education in India and he spoke beautifully. 'He sounded a little bit like Richard Burton. And when I started sort of, you know, "talking like that", he sent me to speech and drama lessons. Thank you very much, father, because I've earned my living. 'What this follower was saying was basically that he could understand me; I enunciate. I'm not against accents, not at all. In fact, some of them are very endearing. 'I mean, I love Eamonn Holmes, and you know Gloria Hunniford, when she started 40 odd years ago, had a very strong Northern Ireland accent and she moderated it.'

Chris Tarrant brands Phillip Scofield 'the most over-exposed man ever' and claims he 'lost the plot' after fame went to his head
Chris Tarrant has branded Phillip Schofield 'the most over-exposed man ever' and claimed her 'lost the plot' after fame went to his head. Schofield left ITV's This Morning in May 2023 after admitting to having a relationship with a much younger male colleague. And speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? presenter Tarrant had made her thoughts on Schofield very clear. 'There was not a hint of apology or "Maybe I was a little bit out of order", Christ Almighty,' he said. Schofield revealed he believes he thinks the former Dancing On Ice host 'lost the plot' after finding fame. 'He was the most over-exposed man ever, maybe apart from [Terry] Wogan at his peak - but Terry was on all the time because he was very good, and funny and likeable, and bright as a button,' he said. 'Schofield, they always said, "Oh, but he's a safe pair of hands." Did anyone ever say, "Ooh, it's five to eight, got to get home quick because the safe pair of hands is on?"' Schofield publicly fell out with her former co-presenter Holly Willoughby last year and was later accused of 'blaming women' for his downfall. On his comeback show Cast Away, which aired on Channel 5 in October, Schofield took aim at those 'who betrayed him' 16 months ago when he quit ITV's This Morning. One showbusiness insider told MailOnline: 'You can see what Phil is doing, he is angry and he is taking his moment in the limelight, slinging more mud while people are interested in him. 'Phil's career ended because he lied, he resigned from ITV when he lied about having an affair with a much younger colleague. To say this is Holly's fault is just ridiculous. Talk about blame the woman.' Meanwhile, friends of Holly pointed to the fact that she was entirely vindicated for her falling out with Phillip after it emerged that he had lied about his relationship with a younger colleague. Holly said in 2023 that he had been dishonest with her about the affair, as he had also been to ITV, his agent YMU and his family. He also lied to the Mail about it and admitted the truth in a statement last May. 'Phil is a self-confessed and proven liar so things he says have to be taken with a pinch of salt,' a source said: 'He lied to his colleagues, his employers and the media, let's not forget that.' The star was later labelled vindictive after texts revealed that he told Holly that she ' brought him down' shortly before he resigned from This Morning last year. Friends of the disgraced presenter claimed he sent her the accusation in a WhatsApp message and said she should have publicly supported him following their fall out. He then blamed her for not doing so, saying it then prompted him to stand down after 21 years on the ITV show. Phillip had asked her for a public show of support such as a statement or picture together in the hope it would halt claims they had fallen out. Following rumours that they had fallen out in May 2023, Phillip left Holly devastated when he made a public statement to discuss their friendship. He said: 'The last few weeks haven't been easy for either of us. As I have said before, Holly is my rock. 'We're the best of friends – as always, she is an incredible support on screen, behind the scenes and on the phone. 'Holly has always been there for me, through thick and thin. And I've been there for her.' Friends of Holly said at the time said she was 'blindsided' by his outburst. Phillip stood down from This Morning days later on May 20. He said in a statement: 'I understand that ITV has decided the current situation can't go on, and I want to do what I can to protect the show that I love. 'So I have agreed to step down from This Morning with immediate effect, in the hope that the show can move forward to a bright future.' While he stepped down from This Morning, he was due to present the Soap Awards a week later for ITV and bosses at the network had given him a new prime time show.
