My advice is to try and visit as many of the free attractions as you can, such as Tate Modern, Science Museum, Changing the Guard and Westminster Abbey. There's lots of things happening all year round in London's South bank; free events, exhibitions, debates and festivals. Try this website - http://www.londonisfree.com/

If you're set on visiting the attractions with admission fees then work out if it's worth investing in a London Pass. These aren't cheap but if you cram as many of the 50 free attractions in as you can, you should save money.

Also, if you collect tesco clubcard points, these can be exchanged for some great days out such as Kensington Palace, London Zoo, Tower of London and many more.

If you've got any suggestions let others know about them here.

ZSL London Zoo a great day out for all the family

I think London Zoo is well worth the visit for anyone coming to London with children of any age. There is a family ticket at £44.60 and there is plenty to do and see.
With Easter coming up and the launch of their new "Animal Adventure" Children's Zoo there are lots of new things to see and do.

Here is a voucher link if you are interested:

The are also promoting Keeper for a day and adopt an animal - what a fun thing to do, an ideal gift.

They are also running a super competition with a first prize of an 8 day family safari trip to Kenya.

Unless the London Zoo has been updated in the last 7 years, I really don't think it is worth the visit. I found it old and antiquated. I suppose young children who have never seen a zoo would find it fun.

That was why I suggested a visit or a revisit as they are just about to launch a new Children's Zoo area called Animal Adventure

see the attached link:

I also found a discount voucher:

Beyond just looking at the animals there are loads of interesting conservation projects happening and if you can travel further a visit to Whipsnade is well worth it.

Have a great day out.
