There are many children’s attractions in the city of London which makes finding something to suit everyone simple. Here are three ideas to get you started.
Madame Tussauds
The queues along Marylebone Road bear testimony to its enduring popularity. This museum of historic and contemporary waxwork figures fascinates children of all ages. Kids rub shoulders with heroes like David Beckham or dance along with Beyoncé. To avoid queues, book online.
The London Dungeon
Kids love the ghoulish and creepy, and it does not get much creepier than the London Dungeon, a museum celebrating London’s dark past. Gruesome accounts of beheading, murder, torture and plague have kids screaming in terrified delight. Features include good theme-park style rides and costumed staff that leap out of exhibits to frighten visitors when least expected. Do expect to be repulsed, horrified and made slightly nervous.
Sea Life London Aquarium
Situated in County Hall, right by the Thames, this fantastic aquarium features sea life from around the globe. Watch divers swim amongst the fish and enjoy busy feeding times. Interactive displays and a supervised ‘touch-pool’ mean kids can get up close to some fascinating creatures.
