After a along day of dragging the kids around to all the stuffy museums you find so interesting, why not treat them to a show that will not only cap off a hectic day with some relaxation, but teach them something at the same time? So much emphasis is placed on things to do during the day that sometimes the best part of a day, the Nighttime, gets neglected.
This attraction is the Peter Harrison planetarium and it is located at the Royal Observatory. Another interesting fact is that the site is located at the intersection of the Greenwich Mean Time line and the Prime Meridian line, two important designations that help us organize our time in the first place.
This magnificent show will allow your kids to see the nighttime sky in a way they might never have imagined while being a teaching experience at the same time. They will get to watch the stars traverse the sky while an official astronomer from the Observatory gives a lecture explaining the various features they'll see during the show. While this may not be a show for the youngest children, it's great for those who are reaching that curious age. They can learn about comets, planets, stars, and the difference between a meteor and a meteorite. And the star show is simply not to be missed; it is spectacular.
It is one of the hundreds of learning attractions that you can find to keep young ones entertained, but its gems like this that get passed over by visitors who do not plan enough time in the great city. If you can find vacation rentals London opens up all of its educational venues to you without the rush. And from a holiday apartment London can feel more like a second home to the kids, rather than a boring old hotel.
