You could spend a lifetime exploring London’s free museums, particularly if, like me, you have kids to educate. I’ve already posted about London’s biggest and best free museums that appeal to kids, The Science Museum, The V&A, The National Gallery, The British Museum, The Tate Modern and the V&A’s Museum of Childhood, but here’s another […]
London’s National Gallery of Art For Kids
You will only see a collection of art this incredible, free, in London. ( If you know of anywhere else let me know, we’d love to go.) London’s National Gallery of art is simply AMAZING! They have them all, Van Gogh, Monet, Reubens, Stubbs, Titian, Botticelli, Van Dyke, Constable, Cezanne, Da Vinci, too many to […]
The British Museum with Kids
The British Museum is billed as a place to see the world without leaving London, and it’s true. The museum is a treasure house of amazing art and ancient artefacts spanning all of human history and every culture, housed in a visually spectacular and historic building in Bloomsbury, Central London. I’ve lost count of the […]
The Tate Modern London with Kids
Having an enjoyable and worthwhile visit to a modern art museum with kids is probably one of the harder tricks to pull off. I’ve only got my kids to go by, I don’t know yours, sorry, but mine have zero interest in looking at paintings and art work unless something seriously kid-friendly and incredible is […]
Ripley’s London. Expect the Unexpected.
Here at World Travel Family we’re converts to Ripley’s Believe it or Not. We ventured into our first Ripley’s Odditorium in freezing New York City in January last year. I’ll be honest, we only went in to escape the cold. Ripley’s took me by surprise, it wasn’t the freak show I’d expected at all, it […]
Platform 9 3/4 London. Tourist Trap or Fun?
We’ve known for a while that Platform 9 3/4, the secret platform accessible only to wizarding folk departing for Hogwarts, really does exist in London, but it’s taken us 6 months to actually get there. Why? My elder son is as big a Harry Potter fan as you could possibly imagine, claiming to have read the […]
London Science Museum is Awesome!
We’ve been to several science museums and attractions all over the world. Maybe I’m biased, but in my opinion London’s Science Museum is the best. Some, like Canberra’s Questacon, Malaysia’s Petrosains or Cardiff’s Techniquest have more of a focus on hands-on areas for children but London Science Museum is, for us, a winner. Want to know […]
Legoland Windsor Review. Legoland England
Legoland Windsor in England is Legoland number 3 for us. We’ve already visited Legoland Malaysia and Legoland Florida, both were great fun for the whole family so we couldn’t wait to check out the UK’s version, just outside London. If you are looking for a hotel in London, start your search here. It’s […]
Reasons to Visit London Zoo
A travel blogger friend asked me if I thought she should visit London Zoo on her trip to the UK. The short answer was yes, it’s awesome, but the long answer takes a bit more explaining. I’m an animal nut and a scientist, my degree is in zoology and I adore zoos. When the kids […]
Visiting Four Disney Parks in One Day
We set ourselves a challenge while we were in Orlando, Florida. Visiting four Disney parks in one day. Not only that, we wanted to ride all of the biggest and best rides. Do you think it’s possible? If you’re wondering if the queues will make visiting 4 parks in one day impossible, don’t. See my post […]
Legoland Florida Review
Orlando is absolutely stuffed with theme parks and attractions, most people come for the big established players, Disney, Universal and Seaworld, but there are a lot of other theme parks in the Orlando area. Legoland Florida is a relatively new big name round here. We went to check it out for the first time yesterday […]
Beating The Queues At Disney. Orlando Florida.
After three amazing visits to Orlando Florida and one to Anaheim, we think we’ve learned a thing or two about beating the queues at Disney. When we read a post from our friend and fellow Aussie traveller Sharon about suffering in the Disney queues we felt her pain but we were a bit surprised because it’s never […]
Have fun at Niagara Falls, Try Clifton Hill
There are two sides to Niagara Falls. No, not the US side and the Canada side. I mean the “Gosh isn’t nature amazing!” side and the crazy fun side. We enjoyed both, although the crazy fun side of Niagara falls came as a complete surprise to us, we weren’t expecting that at all. We could have […]
