1 / 3Flett Theatre, Natural History Museum
📍 Kensington, Greater London
Free-entry natural history museum in Kensington packed with interactive exhibits and educational displays spanning ancient history and natural science. A full day is needed to cover the main sections.
Fantastic free museum that does ask for donations and can be a little pushy with the amount of paid devices you need to walk past but overall it's a brilliant place to visit and you could spend the whole day checking all the sections out if you wish.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who want a substantive educational day out without an admission cost. The interactive features hold children's attention well and the scale of the collection rewards repeat visits over separate trips.
