With spring coming soon, maybe it is time to visit once again the Battersea Park Children’s Zoo with your little ones. Battersea Park Children’s Zoo located in South West London is specifically designed with younger children in mind. If you have young kids who love animals and enjoy interactive experiences, they may find the zoo to be a delightful and engaging outing. My kids always loved the petting area where you can see rabbits, guinea pigs and more animals. Otherwise, families will enjoy the trail whilst admire monkeys, meerkats or sheep. Don’t forget to allow some time for your children to play at the adventure playgrounds.

7. Explore the London Canal with a Waterbus
For some reasons, we never get bored of visiting Camden Market on weekends even though competition is out there with Spitalfields Market or Notting Hill. However the journey from Paddington to Camden on a waterbus makes the whole day out in London very unique and more interesting for families. Waterbuses starts from Little Venice just outside Paddington Station and take you on a nice gentle cruise to Camden Market just before the famous Iron Footbridge over Regents Canal.

At first, you might think the topic might be boring for your little ones but actually past family visitors have praised how interesting and interactive this activity is. As you would probably guess, the museum takes you on the long history of postal services across the national. The highlight of this fantastic activity in London is the rail mail ride that needs to be booked in advance.
