family home of British monarchs for millennia. The original castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion of England by William the Conqueror. Both its exterior and interior design are lauded the world over as being among some of the fi nest examples of style; art historian, Hugh Roberts, has described its interior as “a superb and unrivalled sequence of rooms widely regarded as the fi nest and most complete expression of later Georgian taste”. Windsor Castle is perfect for families of all age ranges — this magnifi cent attraction is a must-see for any fan of royalty, art and history. There’s a direct service from Waterloo every half- hour, and ticket concessions are available for students and children — pre-booking is advised.

Housing the largest indoor rainforest in the world, it’s located within a reclaimed china clay pit, and features two huge biomes containing climate-controlled
environments and plants collected from many diverse habitats around the world. There’s also some innovative play equipment, interactive landscapes, seasonal entertainment and educational activities throughout the year.

Kidzania While the majority of the summer holidays is usually geared to family time, you might feel the need to get away from the little cherubs for a while. This is where Kidzania — an indoor city run by kids — comes in. Designed for children aged 4-14, it blends real-world learning with fun, providing an entertaining and realistic insight into the world of grown-ups by taking part in a choice of ‘jobs’, which earn ‘currency’. Children can become doctors, dentists, police offi cers, fi refi ghters, or even actors and dancers. Once they’ve earned enough currency, they can spend it on leisure activities within KidZania and can even open a bank account and receive their very own bankcard — just like mum and dad!
