Plan A Family Day Trip To Greenwich

When you take a family day trip, you want to make sure that the activities you plan appeal to both the kids and adults. While it can be difficult to appeal to everyone’s tastes, it’s a must if you want to try and make everyone as happy as possible, but the good news is that Greenwich in London, England has plenty to do for those of all ages. Before you pack your bags, take a look at the following tips to help you start planning a family day trip you won’t soon forget.

Visit the Royal Museums Greenwich
Comprised of four museums – the Queen’s House, the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, and the Cutty Sark – the Royal Museums Greenwich are stops you definitely want to make during your family day trip to Greenwich. They’re all relatively close to each other so it’s easy to get from one stop to the next, and you could spend time here from open to close without a second of boredom. Should you decide to visit the Royal Observatory, don’t forget to check out the Prime Meridian.

Ride the MBNA Thames Clippers
This river bus service is a great way to see the sights as well as get from one location to the next. They even have joint attraction tickets available so you may be able to save a little money. Speaking of saving money, consider looking into their River Roamer ticket which allows you to get on and off between 16 piers all day.

Whether you want clothes, books, necklaces, housewares, art, or more, chances are you can find something fabulous to take home with you. Should you work up an appetite, some of the foods you can buy include wraps, cupcakes, muffins, bread, sushi, sandwiches, empanadas, chocolate, and then some. There’s something to appeal to even the pickiest of eaters.

Go out for dinner
While you’re in Greenwich, you should definitely consider going out to try one of the many restaurants. There are a plethora of them in the area, but just some you should look into include Bianco43, Goddards at Greenwich, The Greenwich Union, and Gourmet Burger Kitchen. Before you go, don’t forget to check ahead of time to see if you’ll need a reservation, especially if you’re traveling in a large group.

When you’re planning your family day trip to Greenwich, one thing you want to keep in mind is that it’s best to keep your itinerary flexible.
