London for Families
Things to do in London with kids
London abounds eclectic activities for adults… and also for kids. Whether you’re visiting during half term or just for a weekend, there’s plenty of things to do with your little ones that adults will enjoy as well. Head to Tate Modern’s Family Zone, ride a bike in Victoria Park and try a Tim Burton-themed Afternoon Tea.
Fun for all the family: the best activities for kids in London
Natural History Museum
Home to the finest collection of fascinating specimens, the Natural History Museum is incredibly famous and geared for kids for two (huge) reasons: Dippy, the cast of a full Diplodocus’ skeleton, and a giant, animatronic T-Rex. Need we say more?
Tate Modern’s Family Facilities
The international centre for contemporary art offers diverse activities adapted to younger visitors.
Kensington Gardens
Run riot in the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground, with its pirate-ship centrepiece.
For kids: Sea Life London Aquarium
Come say hello to two new Londoners: Little Grey and Little White, two beautiful Beluga whales. Their new sanctuary is the latest addition to the aquarium’s rescue and conservation work with threatened species. It’s also an interactive paradise for little ones, who’ll take great delight in walking over the shark tank, looking into a manta ray’s eyes, or tickling an anemone.
