London has a great reputation as a city brimming with thrills and excitement, but did you know it’s a wonderful place to holiday with children too? Ensure your kids love their next trip to England’s capital by finding out all of the fun things for them to see and do in and around Westminster. It’s the perfect place to introduce them to a little of the city’s heritage with lots of games and educational experiences along the way.

The best place to get a family holiday started in Westminster is undoubtedly the London Eye. Most children love the chance to take a ride in the world’s tallest observation wheel and it offers an ideal opportunity to get a glimpse of the whole city – albeit from 135 meters up. The wheel is perfect for pointing out iconic London landmarks like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and St Paul's Cathedral and if you want to continue the fun, you can book a 45 minute cruise down the River Thames too.

Few children can resist the fun found at the Sea Life London Aquarium. There, your children will have the chance to see one of Europe’s largest collections of global marine life, from the cute to the creepy. A glass tunnel walkway allows visitors to see what it looks like under the water and there are plenty of chances to get up close and personal with some of the sea creatures. Children will be able to feed the rays or enjoy saying hello to small creatures in the centre’s Touch Pools as well as gasp at an amazing underwater shark display.

For a really unusual and interesting experience in Westminster, you could arrange a Westminster-wide treasure hunt with the help of Huntfun. This company organises treasure hunts for people of all ages and they can create one perfect for your family. Taking in the popular sights of Westminster and putting your children’s deductive skills to the test, Huntfun can guarantee your family will have a memorable holiday in the capital. You can choose a DIY package or have them do all the work for you and look forward to introducing your children to Westminster in an interesting way.

Westminster is also home to the Tate Britain, which has some fabulous works of art on its walls. Don’t worry if you’re not sure your children are ready for a quiet gallery, however, as the Tate has some great art trails and exhibits specially designed to interest younger visitors. Westminster Abbey is also well worth a look for its amazing architecture and its sheer size and grandeur can often impress even the toughest of customers.

Book your hotel London Westminster safe in the knowledge that you’ll have plenty of entertainments lined up for the kids and you’ll be able to look forward to a fabulous holiday in England’s capital.
