Your Unmissable Day Out: Adventures with Kids

Fill your family day out with make-believe magic and maritime fun by taking your tots, toddlers and young children on a sightseeing adventure in Unmissable Greenwich

Arrival

This nautical adventure begins before you even get to Greenwich! Hop on an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers destined for Greenwich Pier and watch the delight on the kids’ faces as you whizz along the river passing some of London’s most iconic sights. Upon disembarking, take a moment to gaze up at the tall masts and rigging on the historic Cutty Sark, the world's last surviving tea clipper, that proudly sits at the centre of this UNESCO-listed neighbourhood.

Morning

Spend your morning at Greenwich Park. The unique, modern playground has a vast range of equipment and structures made from natural material such as wood and ropes to really blend into the park's landscape as well as the usual swings and water play. It offers children up to 12 a really enjoyable, imaginative and fun space to play. . While the kids explore, enjoy a drink from the refreshments kiosk which also offers the essential range of snacks energetic children always need! 

Afternoon

Book a 45 minute session at AHOY! in the National Maritime Museum. This hands-on gallery is one of London’s best indoor activities for kids, delighting little ones from toddlers all the way up to the age of 7. See their imagination sparked as they interact with other sailors in the ship’s cabin, trade at the fish market or take turns firing the cannons. Continue your naval adventure by crawling, stamping and playing on top of the massive floor-covering Ocean Map – maybe with a snack from the Ocean Court Cafe – before heading out to the brand-new Cove Playground, where the Kraken and Cutty Shark await. 

Home time

It's been a busy day out and dessert is always a good idea! Treat the family to a sweet treat from one of the vendors at Greenwich Market before making your journey home. For a unique London experience, snap up the “drivers’” seats at the front of the DLR train, giving the kids one last chance to play make-believe on their way home.
