Activities For Easter Holiday

Living in London means there’s never a shortage of things to do, or events going on! Here are some cheap, fun and interesting days out for you and the children to finish the last week of your Easter holiday.

For Those Rainy Days

Museums

The London Transport Museum is filled with interesting facts, vehicles and there is an exciting new play zone designed for children aged 0 to 7 years and including the Baby DLR! This is where kids can get into the driving seat of a real bus, they can repair a mini Tube train, play in the ‘Lost Property’ office, sail the Thames Nipper, serve folks in the Nipper cafe and much more!

The Grant Museum of Zoology is an old fashioned museum packed with specimens, some of which are curious and bizarre. The museum gives children the chance to explore history, science and is great for children (and adults) with an interest in all types of animals.

For A Sunnier Afternoon

Walks

A walk around our local canals, forests and lakes give parents a chance to unwind and children a chance to play in nature! We’re very fortunate to live in East London, where we have many chances to spend time in nature and easy access to such beautiful locations. Here’s a top pick of local parks, canals and forest walks:

Farm Visits

Farms are always a brilliant visit, a chance to meet some animals and learn a bit more about our agricultural systems in England. Hackney City Farm is easy to get to on public transport (via the Central Line), they offer pottery workshops, children’s workshops and educational activities, voluntary work and sponsoring an animal!
