When kids have had their fill at the beach, show them the wonders of the deep at Palma Aquarium. This exciting marine park is home to over 8,000 aquatic species from the Mediterranean and beyond. Think; ethereal jellyfish, tropical clown fish and cute turtles. Hop aboard a glass-bottomed Shark Vision boat and watch the predators of the seas circle ominously below. After your aquarium visit, take the famous Orange Express from Palma to Soller. Your kids will love looking out the window as the vintage mahogany train rattles across soaring viaducts through stunning landscapes. Children staying at Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa can continue their maritime adventure playing pirates at Barbaroja Kids Club.
Journey with your kids to the far-flung corners of the universe this half term at the Peter Harrison Planetarium in Greenwich. Its futuristic auditorium offers a sensory overload taking your family to distant galaxies and the heart of the sun. A truly inspirational experience for budding astronauts. Fully geared up for little ones, the Peter Harrison Planetarium has plenty of extracurricular fun like moon-themed activities and an expedition sending Ted into outer space.

For the full VIP experience, guests at Grosvenor House Suites by Jumeirah Living can be whisked to KidZania by private chauffeur.
