Grown ups who want to feel like a kid again can dive into a giant ball pool, or take a virtual reality trip as a bubble at Wembley Park's surreal new attraction.
Taking up the 'kidulting' challenge at Bubble Planet, I did just that, and found it surprisingly relaxing lying in a pit of plastic balls - until a giant rubber duck floated past pushed by some excitable kids.
Later on, swinging on a suspended chair with a VR headset on, I floated zen-like over a fantasy landscape and dived underwater into an oyster shell.
Bubble Planet is like no other 'immersive' entertainment I've encountered. Curated by Exhibition Hub in partnership with live event specialists Fever, it's a feast for the senses that will please everyone from six months to 60.
I took my 12-year-old, who like a stroppy toddler refused to get out of the ball pit. She also loved the many opportunities for quirky selfies as we went through 11 themed rooms, including one with moving projections on the floor, and another that was full of large, pink balloons, which we batted around in a play fight.
The ball pit was a highlight, parents of older children can relax on benches at the side until they agree to leave. Then there's a fun room with press-button games where you can pop balloons or throw a real ball at a wall with reactive projections.
In another room, robot arms make huge shimmering bubbles, or you can stand surrounded by a pool of washing up liquid, and haul up a rope to make the bubble surround you.
We also loved a room of optical tricks where you can sit in a bath of squeaking rubber ducks, swing on a cloud, or see your disembodied head on a coffee table.
Whether you are sitting on beanbags inside a giant half dome with projections that make you feel like the bubbles are pressing down, or walking through a mirrored room strung with a maze of vertical colour changing lights, the experiences is full of imaginative effects.
The only miss was the cockpit of a hot air balloon surrounded by projections, which didn't quite achieve visual lift off.
As well as doing your Christmas shopping, Wembley Park has wealth of entertainment this winter. Running until January 2 is the walk through Luminaze featuring 18 specially commissioned neon artworks hung on the maze's mirrored walls.
And a new outdoor exhibition in Event Square puts Father Christmas under the spotlight. From Saint to Santa, traces the history of Santa Claus through 32 artworks, from roots that span Norse Yule celebrations, the Roman Saturnalia festival, and Christianity’s Saint Nicholas to adverts for fizzy drinks.
There's also a nine-metre high Christmas tree, outdoor choral performances, and a new Alpine wonderland roller rink at the Troubadour.
Prices for Bubble Planet start at £17.90 for adults and £13.90 for children with group bundles and family passes available at Fulton Road Wembley.
