Let\u2019s be honest, the best part about school is the Summer Holidays. It\u2019s the perfect time to relax, recharge and have some fun. In London and the UK, there are numerous exciting activities available to make this an unforgettable summer. Let\u2019s get into them!<\/p>\n

LEGOLAND<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Perfect for kids, big and small, LEGOLAND is where dreams come alive. Whether you are travelling to the famous Windsor<\/a> location or heading to Birmingham<\/a> or Manchester<\/a>, you can play with the blocks loved across the world, admire amazing displays, and even visit the wonderful Miniland. There are also 4D cinema experiences, a driving school, games, rides, and so much more! You can easily fill a whole day, and if you want a little extra time, LEGOLAND Windsor has a themed hotel on site.<\/p>\n

K1 Speed – Indoor Go-Karting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Do you hear that sound? That\u2019s your inner racing car driver begging to be let out! Channel your need for speed at the fastest and highest quality indoor go-karting track<\/a> in the whole of the UK. Race against your family and friends in an electric go-kart and leave them in your dust \u2013 without actually making any dust at all! Better for the environment and a great time all round, this is the ideal way to unleash a little competitiveness.<\/p>\n

London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Get up close and personal with creepy crawlies, swinging monkeys, diving penguins, ginormous elephants, and so much more at London Zoo<\/a> and Whipsnade Zoo. London Zoo is the world\u2019s oldest scientific zoo and was opened in 1828, while Whipsnade Zoo<\/a> is the UK\u2019s largest and home to over 2,500 animals \u2013 making both zoos unique and unmissable.<\/p>\n

The London, York and Edinburgh Dungeon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fancy a scare? There is a place where the light does not shine, the fear is all-encompassing, and the history is brutal and dark, and it\u2019s called The Dungeon! Located in London<\/a>, York<\/a> and Edinburgh<\/a>, step into the past like never before with terrifying characters guiding you through some of your chosen city\u2019s most notable crimes and their infamous criminals. From witches and sketchy surgeons to vicious highwaymen and torturers, this is an experience you won\u2019t forget!<\/p>\n

Shrek’s Adventure London<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s favourite ogre has swapped his swamp for London\u2019s South Bank! Meet Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots, Pinocchio, and more beloved characters as you journey through the realm of Far Far Away. Hop aboard a bus driven by Donkey, work your way through 10 fairy tale-themed shows and take part in the challenge to find Shrek and the magic portal! Seeing as the first Shrek film came out in 2001, it\u2019s safe to say that Shrek\u2019s Adventure London<\/a> is suitable for all ages – even the really big ones.<\/p>\n

Theme Parks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looping round in the sky and reaching exhilarating speeds may not sound like everyone\u2019s idea of a good time, but for some people it\u2019s exactly how they want to spend their Summer Holidays. Fortunately, the UK boasts some of the world’s best theme parks<\/a>. With roller coasters and attractions, live events, kids\u2019 zones, immersive experiences, and even water parks, there is something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n

SEA LIFE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There seems to be a time in every child\u2019s life when they want to be a marine biologist. Make this dream a reality this summer and venture deep into the mysterious ocean and its weird and wonderful creatures. SEA LIFE has aquariums all over the UK, from Brighton<\/a> and London<\/a> to Manchester<\/a> and Blackpool<\/a>, and beyond. Meet some extraordinary marine life and learn about their habitats from the expert staff.<\/p>\n

Football Stadium Tours<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Football fans are going to love this! Go behind the scenes and take a look at your favourite English Premier League<\/a> team\u2019s home stadium. You can walk through the players\u2019 tunnel, go pitch side, explore the dressing rooms, and at certain stadiums, wander through the museums filled with memorabilia and trophies. Learn about the history of your club and the team that makes it who they are today.<\/p>\n

Harry Potter Filming Locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While witches and wizards may be hard to come by in the Muggle world, the stunning filming locations<\/a> of the much-loved Harry Potter series are not! Travel to Oxford via a luxury coach and explore where some of the most famous scenes were shot, from the 17th<\/sup>-century Bodleian Library to Christ Church College and its Great Hall, which inspired the design of the Hogwarts dining hall.<\/p>\n

With so much to keep you entertained in London and the UK, we hope these Summer Holidays are the best yet!<\/strong><\/p>\n
