5. Christmas at Kew
Kew Gardens takes on a 3km trail which can take you up or over 2 hours to walk where you will be presented with beautiful lights everywhere. Along with this walk, you can also visit the one and only Father Christmas or immerse yourself into the fairground with rides suitable for children’s and adults. Moreover, some attractions may only be child friendly and therefore an adult may be unable to accompany a child during this. However, it is still a great activity and worth visiting
