There's also an aquarium, a butterfly house, and an extra exhibit (currently Lego sculptures) that you can pay to visit. The museum grounds are a great place to walk around. There are some really stunning views of the city center, plus a small farm, and lots of walking trails. This place was absolutely teeming with children, so it would be a great place to bring your little ones to run around. The grounds seem like a perfect place for a picnic - bring your own food or pick up something from the museum cafe.

We are visiting from America and heard about hobble down from a travel site. I have to say, I was…read moreincredibly impressed. This attraction definitely exceeded my expectations in every way. Even with Covid going on, they have managed to create an incredible experience. The photos on their website definitely do not do this place justice. In fact, their marketing could probably use some elbow grease because this place is amazing and you would have no way of knowing it unless you go! We have been in the UK for months now, and this was definitely a highlight of the trip. I brought my five-year-old son, expecting a little more than a petting zoo and themed playground. This is really so much more. I know I have great photos of lemurs stepping on my shoes, albino wallabies, exotic birds, and impressively huge bunnies. My son was also able to see meerkats and prairie dogs up close and personal which he loved. The playgrounds, or nothing short of amazing. My son loved the tiny playground in the cafe area. Imagine his surprise, when we turned a corner and saw the massive water pillow, swing rides, flying castle, high ropes.... AND A huge sand & water play area. He didn't want to leave!!! So, amazingness aside, here are my tips: - for now, don't forget your mask. They do have the café and shop that require them. - Grubby clothes for sand/water play. Are usually dust my son with a tad but of baby powder because sand won't stick to it. You may want to bring a wet bag and change of clothes. (Yo, Hobbledown managers- I would have spent a fortune on clothes Who is covered in wet sand, if you had some in your shop!) - Feel free to bring sand play toys. There are a few here but they are limited and chained to specific areas. Next time we go, we will be bringing our own Sandcastle, shovels and dam-building toys. (Again, can't believe they don't sell these in their shop!) - there's hand sanitizer & hand washing stations everywhere. No need to bring that giant bottle of hand sanitizer with you. As I said, we had an amazing time here. The staff were all friendly with the kids and the experience was an A+ in my opinion. My son has not stopped asking when we can go back.

What a great spot for kids!…read more We are in London on vacation with our two year old toddler. I thought the zoo was just perfect for him. It isn't very big, it's easy to walk, and there are plenty of things for toddlers and older kids to do. Animal feedings happen daily, and we got to watch the otters get fed at 11:00 a.m. Donkeys and ponies can be fed and petted, so that was cool to see. They've got an old fire truck, tractor, and helicopter for children to climb into. My son was obsessed! There are stalls to have birthday parties and I. Prices one stall with chalkboard walls so children can write with chalk. There are a few arcade like games: boats, a water gun competition, etc. There were stalls/carts with signs that said Wall's ice cream and other food items, but I didn't see any open. I think parents should plan to bring their own snacks and meals just in case those carts, etc. aren't open. Great petting zoo/park. Bring your children here!

My rating is taking into account the price and time spent. Great zoo for children. A couple of…read moredozen enclosures, several play areas, Play areas include diggers, a sand pit, a helicopter and some boats. Animals include otters, goats, pigs, donkeys, lemurs, monkeys, a coati, wallaby, Pallas cat, reptiles, meerkats, and more. The whole zoo takes about just over an hour - unless kids spend a lot of time the the play areas.

Even giving one star seems too much. After making an accidental booking for the wrong place and…read morerealising my immediate mistake, I contacted gambado to cancel and request a refund. They denied this as it is not their policy to refund. Whilst I understand a policy, I explained it was a genuine oversight and I would not benefit from a credit as I don't live nearby to use this. One kind manager did contact the owner about this but they refused to give me a refund. My five year old was left in tears as we were unable to then afford an alternative place to book. What an awful money grabbing business!!!! Please don't give them any more of your money!!!

It also has bumper cars and another roundabout type ride. Best to go in the mornings if you can as the weekend afternoons are very busy, although most people like it so much they are okay with it. The other problem is that adults should be with their children in the bumper car queue because other children queue jump and the Gambado staff do not sort this out. This is of course very upsetting for children and parents alike. They should have a better queueing system or at least one staff member operating the ride and a second controlling the queue. The clever thing would be a proper queueing system which actually lines people up properly. However today there was a great staff member who actually stopped the queue jumpers and he should be applauded, he also really cared and was great with the children. It is also expensive however it is so good they can happily get away with it.

There are clean bathrooms and a snack bar. If you have a kid in the 3-8 range this is the best place to bring them in Kensington Gardens.

We had so much fun that my 7 year old (who did make it thru London dungeon) had fomo and begged my husband to take him after. They both loved it too! Great activity for kids to break up all the sightseeing in London!

From where we stayed in Notting Hill, we were a very short walk to Holland Park…read more We entered through Holland Walk and headed to the Dutch Garden first, where thousands of tulips were starting to bloom. It was a bit early in the season so the garden was not nearly as beautiful as it might have been just a week later. This year, the color theme was primarily purple and yellow and those were the tulips not fully bloomed. A garden plot with vibrant red tulips that were in full bloom was very pretty! After, we walked onto the Kyoto Garden, which was much more congested because it is a picturesque spot. There is a walking path around a pond with a key photo spot being the waterfall. The tourists queue up in one line clockwise to take photos at the waterfall. Oddly, there are some walkers that are clearly frustrated by the presence of visitors and insist on walking counter-clockwise through the visitors. We exited on Abbotsbury Road, on the opposite side of the park. It was a nice 1-2 hour excursion, a nice walk and recommend it!
