KidRated’s London Eye Top Tips:

  • Best for kids & teens: Spot all the well known landmarks

The London Eye is a must-visit destination! This iconic Ferris wheel offers stunning views of the city, making it an exciting and memorable experience for children and teens.

 

Kids will be amazed as they ascend high above the River Thames in one of the spacious glass capsules. The London Eye provides a 360-degree view of London’s most famous landmarks, including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. It’s a fantastic way to see the city from a new perspective and spot all the sights they’ve learned about in school.

 

The slow and steady rotation of the wheel allows for plenty of time to take in the views and snap some amazing photos. Each ride lasts about 30 minutes, giving families ample time to enjoy the scenery and point out landmarks. Interactive touchscreens in each capsule provide fun facts and information about what you’re seeing, making the experience both educational and entertaining.

 

For an extra special treat, consider booking a ride during sunset or at night when the city lights up. The dazzling views will surely captivate both kids and parents alike.

 

The London Eye also offers family-friendly packages, including combination tickets with nearby attractions like the SEA LIFE London Aquarium and the London Dungeon, ensuring a full day of fun.

 

With its stunning views, educational elements, and unique experience, the London Eye is a fantastic destination for families exploring London. Plan your visit today and give your kids an unforgettable adventure high above the city!

Honor

As a kid growing up in London, I’ve been on the London Eye a few times throughout my childhood. Now as a teenager, I absolutely loved going back with my mates. It’s a great event to plan your day around and we had a blast trying to point to where our houses were and people spotting. Definitely an attraction that is good for kids, teenagers and adults.
