Child-friendly activities for the Summer Holidays

A collective cheer is heard across the UK as the summer holidays commence. Or is it a groan? It depends on whether you are the parent or the child in this scenario. But like it or not, it's happening, and there is a lot of time to fill in.

Luckily, [Link https://www.facebook.com/groups/londonmumsgroup/?ref=br_rs London Mums Group] has you covered. Here are some activities you and your little ones can participate in over the summer holidays:

1. [Link https://www.allstarlanes.co.uk/ Bowling at All Star Lanes]



With four places in London to choose from, All Stars have both you and your kids covered for some bowling fun. Offering up a game of bowling with a kid's meal, drink and dessert, the eating is intermittently interrupted by some bowling.

All bowling lanes and pinspotters have been flown over from the USA to create a really great vibe, and it pays off for a great atmosphere. Including Karaoke at some venues which I must admit I can never resist.

Where: Brick Lane, Holborn, Stratford City and Shepherd's Bush.
More Information: Visit their [Link https://www.allstarlanes.co.uk/ website].

2. [Link https://www.flipout.co.uk/ Flip Out Trampoline Park]



Another venue with locations all throughout London, Flip Out has trampolines, stunt box zones, ball games, resident DJs and loads of special events. It is a great place to let your kids go crazy and burn off loads of excess energy.

These school holidays there is something suitable for all ages. Kids can participate in special classes, and some locations even have summer holiday camps happening for six to fourteen-year-olds.

Where: All across London! See [Link https://www.flipout.co.uk/locations/ here] to find your local centre

4. [Link https://www.visitsealife.com/london/ Sea Life Aquarium]



I am obsessed with aquariums. I find them incredibly relaxing. Of course, the aquarium on a school holiday may not be totally relaxing, but it would definitely be fun! It is also an educational experience for both kids and adults.

If under the sea animals are not your thing, the [Link https://londonmumsgroup.co.uk/london-sea-life-aquarium/ Sea Life Aquarium] has a new Rainforest Adventure. Unearth what lies beneath the surface in the Amazon, and join Ranger Andy for a tropical adventure.

Where: County Hall, Westminster Bridge Road

The ultimate in summer holiday activity, completely blow your kids (and yourself!) away with this incredible day out at the Warner Brothers Studio.

Walk in the footsteps of Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione. You will discover the sets, props and original costumes of the movies, and truly immerse yourself in the wizarding world. Your kids will learn the magic behind how the movies were made. It is a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience.

The Regent's Park Open Air Theatre is a must do for anyone in London. It is a cultural hub in the beautiful surroundings of Regent's Park. Coming up in August, Dinosaur World Live is a spellbinding and interactive show for kids with cool and massive dinosaur puppetry. Including the scary T-Rex! It may be a little scary for the younger ones, but I am sure that the older kids would get a kick out of it.
