Coram's Fields
Go where the wild things are
Follow the sound of baa’ing sheep to Coram’s Fields. This playground has farm animals on site and it’s free to visit. Record some animal sounds on your BlackBerry Pearl 8110, and make them into ringtones to amuse the kids. Adults must be accompanied by children.
Coram’s Fields, 93 Guilford St, WC1N 1DN (020 7837 6138/www.coramsfields.org).

Get a culture blast!
After a cluck-off with the hens, it’s a short walk to The British Museum. The ancient Egyptian death masks are perfect for spooking-out a seven-year-old, and toddlers love scooting around the bright, vast Great Court. Spend hours here or have a ten-minute culture blast.
British Museum, Great Russell St, WC1B 3DG (020 7323 8000/www.britishmuseum.org).
Strike it lucky
If you put ‘bowling in Holborn’ into Google, you will get Bloomsbury Lanes’ booking email address. Hidden under the Tavistock Hotel, this is the classiest bowling joint in town. They admit children until 4pm so we grab a lane and get bowling. Our mean-rollin’ four-year-old has been known to win before now…
Bloomsbury Lanes, Bedford Way, WC1H 9EU (020 7183 1979/www.bloomsburybowling.com).
Get a cuddle on Regent Street
If the kids have savings burning a hole in their pockets head to Hamleys where the simplicity of having separate floors for boys and girls makes shopping a lot less painful. En route use your BlackBerry’s browser to go to www.myhamleys.com/experience to see what events are on that day. (Win Easter choccy until April 24!)

Or we might end up in the Rainforest Café. Having our tea perched on animal-themed stools brings out the inner child. It’s impossible to avoid a visit to the shop; our children are suckers for cuddly toys and the café’s shop is one of the few places in London where you can buy a decent fluffy ring-tailed lemur…
