Easter activities for kids in London
Ocean Invaders
This new permanent addition to the Sea Life London Aquarium on the South Bank is subtitled 'Enter the World of Jellyfish', beckoning you into a new sensory experience in the world of the mysterious rubbery splats. Learn about these beautiful and dangerous alien-like creatures by discovering the most dangerous species and testing the strength of their sting by creating your own digital swarm. You can even walk into a space completely surrounded by the real thing – if you dare.
Sensational Butterflies
The Natural History Museum's butterfly house returns to a specially constructed tropical enclosure on the Museum's east lawn. Visitors can come face-to-face with tropical butterflies, including the swallowtail, blue morpho and the moon moth, as well as take part in games that teach more about the sensory world of the beautiful, fluttering creatures.
Robot Zoo
Meet a robotic rhino, a squid with 18-foot tentacles and a huge house fly with a vacuum cleaner mouth at the Horniman Museum’s Zoo for larger-than-life robot animals made from familiar machines and gadgets.
