There is no education
like first-hand experience. So, if you want to learn more about London, travel
to the city and see for yourself everything that you have seen on travel
documentaries and read about in various textbooks. All the same, if you want to
broaden your children’s horizons, take them to different foreign places to
enrich their minds. However, traveling with young children can be a little
difficult compared to traveling solo. Young people can be impatient and
demanding, so it’s important to draw up an itinerary of activities to keep them
entertained.
There are plenty of things
you can do in London that do not require spending a lot. For children, however,
the choices are limited. Not everything that you can see or do in London will
be well-received by them; so, it is always wise to do some research ahead of
time.
Book a couple of days’
stay at any of the holiday apartments in London for
the convenience of location, for the convenience of homelike comfort, and for
the convenience of saving money. If you opt to stay at the Serviced Apartments Marylebone, you’ll discover that
there are plenty of must-see attractions for kids that are not far from the
place. Below is a list of those interesting places that can be found
either in Marylebone or just near the district.
Madame
Tussauds
Situated along Marylebone
Road, the Madame Tussauds museum exhibits wax sculptures of famous
personalities from around the world and across history. The children will
certainly gush over the life-size, or rather, life-like waxworks of Britney
Spears and David Beckham. They will be intrigued or horrified over the Chamber
of Horrors and blown away with amazement by their Marvelous 4D
experience.
The museum was founded by
wax sculptor Marie Tussaud, who created her first sculpture in 1777.
Sherlock
Holmes Museum
Older kids who appreciate
reading mystery novels and watching detective movies will certainly enjoy a
tour of the Sherlock Holmes’ fictional house on Baker Street in Marylebone. The
museum occupies a Georgian townhouse that used to be a boarding house. In the museum,
you will find interesting things that were, according to the novels, used by
Sherlock Holmes himself, like the typewriter, the sitting room, and his
laboratory. It can easily visited while residing at Presidential Marylebone Mayfair.
Pollock’s
Toy Museum
The toy museum houses all
kinds of toys from different places and different periods in history. What kid
wouldn’t enjoy marveling at the diverse range of antique toys like the 4000
year-old Egyptian clay mouse or centuries old toy theatre? The museum is named
after Benjamin Pollock, the creator and printer of Victorian toy theatre.
Sea
Life Aquarium London
This is a terrific place
to take children for an educational tour. Not only do they get to see a broad
variety of fish and sea creatures, but they get to come face-to-face with
sharks, rays, and other amazing sea life.
Parks
London is home to many
beautiful parks. Take your pick from any of those lovely parks and enjoy your
day. You can have a picnic at Hyde Park or play Frisbee or cricket at Richmond
Park. You may also visit the Kensington Palace Gardens and marvel at the Peter
Pan statue or experience strolling along the tree walkway at Kew Gardens. The
free and wonderful things you can do with your child in a London park is
endless.
