KidZania London
KidZania is a world of fun and learning for children aged four to fourteen. Set their imagination free with a visit to the UK’s first educational entertainment experience.
Located in Westfield London, KidZania features a child-size city spanning 75,000sq. ft. Over four exciting hours, kids can learn real-life skills and have a go at trying out grown-up jobs in realistic environments.
From the Aviation Academy to the Radio Station, Police Station or Hospital, KidZania’s streets are lined with authentic establishments. Real-life role play will bring these professions to life as kids learn in a fun and safe environment. Children can even have a go at being a tour guide on a mini Golden Tours hop-on hop-off bus!
Young minds will learn about money as they are paid for the activities they undertake, earning ‘KidZos’ (KidZania currency). Kids can open a personal savings account and deposit the money they have earned for their work. This currency can be used to purchase goods and services inside the city.
Each experience lasts four hours, and children over the age of seven can enjoy KidZania without an accompanying adult. Visitors are given a bracelet to wear around their wrist which can only be removed by employees with parental permission, so you’ll know where your kids are at all times. Children are in safe hands, leaving you free to shop or dine while keeping track of their movements.
KidZania has welcomed over 38 million visitors worldwide and now the global phenomenon has arrived in London! Kids can have fun while learning valuable skills during at this exciting new education experience.

Kew Gardens
Kew Gardens, is a World Heritage Site located in 121 hectares of stunning vistas with six magnificent glasshouses set in a beautiful landscape beside the River Thames between Richmond and KEW in south-west London. Kew Gardens represents more than 250 years of historical gardens. It is home to a remarkable collection of over 30,000 types of plants from all over the world that range from the decorative to the peculiar. Kew Gardens provide opportunities for public enjoyment and enrichment and the behind-the-scenes scientific work helps ensure a sustainable future for plants and people.
In the summer of 2004, Kew's determination to make serious botany great fun for children was demonstrated with the opening of 'Climbers and Creepers'. Bringing a new use to an old cycad house by White Peaks, Climbers and Creepers engages children from around 3-9 years in the pleasures of learning more about plants and their relationships with animals and people. Apart from the sheer beauty and tranquillity of the garden's landscapes Kew offers a wonderful day out for all, whether horticulturally, historically or botanically inclined.
There is plenty to see in the beautiful city of Tallinn. The Red Line is the shortest of the three lines but the fun sure isn't forgone. The adventure starts at the Mere Pst and not before long, you'll be at the Song Festival Grounds at Bus Stop 2, where the Estonian Song Festival is held every 5 years. From then you'll be able to see the Russalka Monument from up high, the memorial that was built after the tragedy of the sunken Russian warship in 1893. If you love nature then hop-on the Green Line for a journey through the historic suburbs.
Hop-off at Pirita at Bus Stop 5 to witness the breath-taking views of Pirita Beach or at Bus Stop 6 to take a long leisurely stroll through the Botanical Gardens. All along the way you'll be able to take in the incredible atmosphere as we drive straight down the long City Harbour. If you want a bit of fun on your trip then take the Blue Line.

The tour is fully interactive and suitable for beer lovers and history lovers alike.
The tour begins in 1231, long before John Smithwick ever set foot in the city. Walk the echoing halls in the Abbey of St. Francis, where clever monks found a way of purifying the deadly water that coursed through their land. Using the natural ingredients which grow in abundance near the abbey, they purified water from the local well by crafting it into ale.
From the moment you step into the Cole House, five generations of Smithwicks illuminate their story of unwavering endurance and unbeatable ingenuity through photos, portraits, letters and lively conversation. Cosy up by the fireplace and learn how one family turned a humble Kilkenny ale into a brew famous the world over!
In the Brewhouse you will learn about perfecting the art of mixing four simple ingredients to produce a ruby red ale enjoyed all over the world. But that doesn't mean we are resting on our laurels. We are constantly innovating, and in the Brewhouse you'll discover just what gives our ruby ale its unique character and flavour.
After an exciting trip back in time it is time for a rest pint! The perfect place to judge a pint of Smithwick's? A tasting room, of course. The distinctive taste of our ale, characterised by its fruity aroma and delicate notes, has been winning us awards since 1892. Each glass of our ale contains generations of tradition, experience and uncompromised quality. When you decide your pint has just the right appearance, aroma, taste and mouthfeel, sit back and enjoy the flavour that has made Smithwick's Ireland's favourite ale!
