Kew Gardens
As one of London’s premier outdoor activities, Kew Gardens really is an oasis tucked away in the city. The site is home to over 50,000 plants that are spread over a variety of different houses and gardens that help to bring their story to life. The remarkable work at Kew Gardens has been rewarded as it has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As well as the amazing gardens and houses, there are also various exhibitions that take place throughout the year. A current exhibition by the artist Chihuly has introduced an amazing installation of glass flowers that have to be seen to be believed. Kew Gardens has so much to see and do, it is a fantastic day out for all the family.

KidZania London
Based at the wonderful Westfield London W12, KidZania London is a city built for children! Suitable for children from 0-14 (under 7s must have an adult with them at all times), the city is vast and comprises amazing areas for kids to play for hours. There so so much for kids to do at KidZania including an Aviation Academy where they pretend to fly an aeroplane, a dance club, a fashion studio and a number of realistic jobs that they can play at, they can even earn money (that is used inside KidZania) from working!
There is so much to do in KidZania that your kids could literally spend hours trying it all out. Do you know what’s even better? If your child is over 7, you can drop them off while you go and enjoy some retail therapy inside one of Europe’s most impressive shopping centres.
TeamSport Indoor Karting
Is your little one the next Lewis Hamilton or Sebastian Vettel? Well, if your little ones are over the age of 8 then TeamSport Indoor Karting in Acton is ideal for those who are close to Chiswick. With an incredible banked circuit and instructors on-site, TeamSport Indoor Karting West London is an ideal place to spend an afternoon. Looking for an ideal place to hold a fun, amazing kids party? TeamSport Indoor Karting West London offers fantastic party plans to hold a party that the kids will never forget.
For the younger kids, there is an on-site Cadet Academy that helps to give your little ones a headstart in their racing career. While your kids might not want to take motorsport up as a career, go-karting is an ideal way to get started in the sport for those who might. Any racer worth their salt started out in karting, which taught them about race craft and car handling – the key skills for any would-be racer. Even if they don’t want to be the next Lewis Hamilton, TeamSport Indoor Karting West London will offer a great day out.
