1. The Serpentine Lido (Hyde Park)

Besides a superb children’s play area for the kids to splash about (includes a chlorinated paddling pool) and the natural water of the Serpentine that is perfect for swimming, there is also a nice grassy area where you can soak up some rays. Plus, a café and kiosk within an arm’s reach if you need a snack or refreshing drinks. Open from 10am until 6pm. For more details, visit the Royal Parks website.

2. The ArcelorMittal Orbit Slide (Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park)

If your children are 8+ years old and, at least, 1.3m tall, then the slide is a splendid attraction worth visiting. For 40 seconds, you will have the chance to slide down the highest and longest tunnel slide in the world (178m) in a fascinating experience. Given that it is a much-favoured attraction in London by both locals and tourists alike, it is suggested to book your tickets in advance.

3. The Summer Science Exhibition (Trafalgar Square)

From July 2nd, 2018 until the 8th of the month, The Royal Society welcomes a free Summer Science Exhibition at its own premises. You and the rest of the family can get a good glimpse of some of the best research that is being conducted across the country, get involved in hands-on activities, and see amazing things from up close, like the glorious Milky Way in 3D and the world’s coolest and most advanced Webb Telescope designed for detailed space exploration!

4. Dinosaurs in the Wild (Greenwich Peninsula)

A marvellous adventure for you and the children to see unbelievably lifelike dinosaurs (from some 67 millions years ago) in cages and their natural habitat. While there, you will not only have the opportunity to see majestic Alamosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Triceratops wander around and babies hatching but also get to know so many things about how life was when these creatures were the dominant predators on this planet, visit a research station that is also home to a whole lot of hatching eggs, and take a mind-blowing safari across the Cretaceous plains!
