  • Days Out

It's time to get egg-cited as kids travel to London for just £1 this Easter. Affordable family fun revealed that won’t break the bank!

The Easter holidays are just around the corner. But the thought of two whole weeks of entertaining the kids each day feels slightly overwhelming (and daunting!)– especially for your credit card. Plus, with Google searches for ‘things to do with the kids near me’ up by 80% in the last 30 days, it’s clear parents are already looking for inspiration.

So, if you’re on the hunt for things to do with the little ones that won’t break the bank, look no further. London Northwestern Railway (LNR) is here with its round up of the best budget-friendly things to do in London this Easter, so you can enjoy more family adventures, for less.

Plus, if that wasn’t enough, LNR’s Family Travelcard allows up to four kids to travel for just £1 each to London when accompanied by an adult travelling off-peak. The price even includes unlimited travel on London's buses and tubes, and most trains in the Transport for London area.

So, let’s get stuck into some egg-cellent adventures…

Roarsome Easter holidays

Located on London’s south bank, Battersea Park Children’s Zoo is home to over 100 amazing animals from around the world. Join the zookeepers every day at their friendly feeding time talks or head to the impressive adventure playground, complete with real-life fire engine, helicopter, and sensory sandpit.

Your adventure awaits you

Gasp, giggle, shriek, and scream as you see and do things you’ve never seen or done before. As well as a theme park, zoo, and aquarium, Chessington World of Adventures Resort will be playing host to some cracking (pun intended!) Easter activities this year. Little egg-splorers can meet and greet the Easter bunny, take part in the Easter animal trail, or watch JJ from Cocomelon live on the Mini Stage.

Discover a world of LEGO

With more than 55 rides and attractions, plus live shows and LEGO building fun, LEGOLAND Windsor Resort makes for the perfect family day out. Whether it’s learning to drive a LEGO car, riding the dragon in the Dragon Knight’s Castle or braving the pirate falls, the theme park sparks the imagination and creativity of kids of all ages.

Dive into a nature-themed adventure

Dive in and explore an underwater world of glittering marine animals at the SEA LIFE Centre London Aquarium . From meeting the penguins in the Polar Adventure zone, to taking a stroll under the sea in the Ocean Tunnel, your little squids will be mesmerised by the marine life on show. This Easter, the attraction will be hosting Shark Week between 1st to 16th April. Budding biologists can take part in a range of jaw-some interactive activities to discover the ocean’s most misunderstood creature.
