It’s free to enjoy, but be aware that at busy times there might be a queue to get in.
Ride a Shetland pony across Richmond Park with Stag Lodge Stables. They provide horse rides for visitors of all ages and abilities. Don't worry even children 3 - 6 years old can take part on a more manageable Shetland pony.
Delve into the icy Antarctic at Sea Life Aquarium, here you will discover adorable Gentoo penguins living on land and water.
Take a visit to the The zoological museum, the only one of it's kind. You will be amazed at the transporting effect of seeing avenues of display cases stuffed to the gunnels with animal skeletons, taxidermy specimens and creatures preserved in fluid, like a true Victorian wunderkammer. From a jar of tiny moles to a huge elephant skull, there is plenty here to draw gasps of amazement.
