For Day 2 of a London family itinerary, there are many great kid activities and venues within a short seven-mile distance.\u00a0\u00a0 At any age, kids and kids-at-heart will enjoy these places that mix history with fun. VisitBritain<\/a><\/strong>\u2019sjourney planner suggests visitors spend the second day in London at the following sites.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

London’s Science Museum<\/span><\/strong> is known all over the world for its historic collections and inspirational exhibitions. \u00a0Some fantastic exhibitions include \u201cThe Science of Spying\u201d, \u201cInside the Spitfire\u201d and \u201cThe Big Bang\u201d. \u00a0Visit the IMAX 3D Cinema, where you can see stunning 3D adventures like \u201cDinosaurs Alive! 3D\u201d and \u201cDeep Sea 3D\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other things to see and do near the Science Museum:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Natural History Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Victoria & Albert Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Buckingham Palace<\/strong>
\nThe next stop on your itinerary is one of my favorites – Madame Tussauds<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, where you can get up close and personal with famous celebrities like Brad Pitt, Kylie Minogue, and Jennifer Lopez. \u00a0And don’t forget the Planetarium, where kids can enjoy galaxies and saucers fly by.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sherlock<\/div>\n

The Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street in London<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some other suggested things to add to your day:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sherlock Holmes Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regent’s Park <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whenever we are in a big city like London<\/a>, I like to take the kids to the zoo.\u00a0 The London Zoo<\/span> has daily penguin and lion feedings and offers a chance to meet the monkeys in a giant enclosure designed to recreate the Bolivian rainforest.\u00a0 Take advantage of as many up-close and personal activities like the feedings, as those are the memories that stick with kids.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of your day, take your family for a relaxing meal in a family-friendly restaurant. Situated in London’s famous Camden Town, Marine Ices is very popular with locals. Opened in 1930, Marine Ices serves delicious, freshly prepared Italian food, but is most famous for its specialty ices – thought by many to be the best in London.<\/span><\/p>\n
