Birthday Trip to London for 8yr old DD - what to do as a treat?

[eltham]

Thinking of going around Easter for 4 days.,.what is there to do as a treat? Already thought about London Eye..don't know London for kids so any suggestions will be really useful.

see the lion king, fantastic.

Would also say a show.

Planet Hollywood is a great place to go for lunch / dinner. If you tell them it your DD's birthday, they will have balloons on the table ready.The DJ will announce the birthday, and your DD can request a song. We did this with DS when he was 7, and he loved it.

London Zoo? London Aquarium?

The museums are all good fun and usually have special kids' activity packs but will be v crowded over Easter.

ooh - plus you can use transfer tesco vouchers for Planet H

How much are shows on average? She's already seen the Lion King when we were in Melbourne..and it was fab. What other shows are good for 8yr olds that are on in LOndon?

Oliver?

Mamma Mia?

The last thing we went to was Mary Poppins and was about £45 each for the matinee.
