Fill your day out with brand new activities like Crazy Boules, a hybrid game merging the classic French activity with everybody's favourite: crazy golf. Taking place at Between The Bridges on London's Southbank, it's hosting a fabulous, fun-filled course that fronts ramps, twists and turns and is inviting groups of up to four people to tackle its absurdity. If anyone in your clan is under the age of 18, you can nab 20% off tickets, too. 

The Little Slice Pizza Class

With tickets starting from just £10, you can treat your kids to The Little Slice Pizza Class at Pizza Pilgrims in Queen's Park. They'll be guided by an experienced chef, and each child will receive a free soft drink and an ice cream - as well as taking home their creations of course.

Swingers West End

Though you may know it as a cocktail bar, quirky crazy golf venue Swingers opens its doors to under 18s every single Sunday before 6pm. You and your kids can work your way around their wacky nine-hole course, with a fairground theme that includes ferris wheels and lighthouses. And if you're looking to plan a birthday? They're also offering a round of golf, party food, ice cream and a reserved area for 90 minutes, all for just £35 per person.

Boogie Shoes Silent Disco Walking Tours

Get the kids moving and learning at this interactive experience. You'll get to roam through the streets of London, hearing all about its incredible history and spotting landmarks, with a soundtrack of classic disco anthems. Expect plenty of laughs, lots of facts and the occasional flash mob. 

Brixton Recreation Centre

Brixton Recreation Centre is more than just a regular workout spot—it's a place where the whole family can have a good time.

This summer, Walthamstow-on-Sea is back, sporting sandy surrounds and pretty beach huts, as well as plenty of toys and ball games.
