Days Out With Parents And Children

Taking the kids out for the day can be a daunting thought - trying to find your way there, the parking, the expense. The arguing. So travel by train instead.

It avoids a host of stressful situations, plus it means you can find great things to do, 2FOR1 deals, 1/3 OFF savings and many other great discounts.

Stress free AND good value. Aren't we good to you?

Here are some ideas to lure you out the house. 

London Zoo

From giraffe to the Giant East African snail - creatures great and small can be found here. This well-kept Zoo has such a wide variety of exhibits and habitats it's easy to see why it's one of London's most enduring attractions. See West Lowland gorillas, endangered tigers or a colony of penguins being fed at Penguin Beach. There's also a living rainforest with species including monkeys, sloth and armadillo.

Science Museum

No need to shout 'Don't touch that!'. Children are encouraged to press, push and pull all they want in the Science Museum's interactive galleries. In Launchpad they can play with an Air Canon or watch an explosive science demonstration while The Garden and Pattern Pod have multi-sensory activities for younger children.

The London Dungeon

Guided by actors in 18 live shows, you'll meet London's most infamous villains and rogues such as Henry VIII, Guy Fawkes and Jack the Ripper. One of the highlights is a visit to the Torturer who also does practical demonstrations.

Not for toddlers this one.
