They also enjoyed the ‘garderobe’ – or toilet on one of the levels of the armoury. Anna and her 6 and 8 year olds loved the interactive space at the end of The Royal Armouries tour – some fun ways to bring the roles and challenges of a different era to life.Head to the White Tower and the collection of the Royal Armouries, which will fascinate adults and kids of all ages, and spend some time at the Armouries in Action experience, which is interactive and great for kids tall enough to reach (our nearly 6 year old could just about manage).You view the jewels from a travellator, so be prepared to lift up younger or smaller children as the jewels are on display at adult height. We arrived after lunch and by then there was a lengthy wait in the blazing sun. The bling! Arrive early and make a beeline for the Crown Jewels (the most popular and easily accessible exhibition) on display in the Jewel House, diagonally opposite the main gate, to avoid long queues and get the best view.The exhibits provide plenty of detail for history buffs and almost endless visual stimulation for children who may not be able or have the patience to read.Just walking on the ramparts and cobbled paths gives you a sense of wonder at the scale and grandeur of the place. The sense of ceremony and majesty is tangible as soon as you enter through the gates – even stroppy teenagers will be awed by the towering ancient brick walls.Our boys (2 and 5) have not stopped playing with their knight swords, which my husband reckons is the best £5.99 he’s ever spent on a toy.Look out for the sizeable ‘pocket money’ section with items for a few pounds alongside pricier items like the Princess Elizabeth dress-up costume for £35.The best is the children’s gift shop, which stocks a huge variety of items both for children to buy themselves and for adults to buy for them.There are 4 gift shops in total, and a couple of them are as you exit a particular exhibit, such as the Crown Jewels, so you can’t entirely avoid them.There are Audio Guide Tours (£5 for adults £4 for children £14 for a family) – very reasonable but better to suited to older kids.If you plan on staying overnight, save money on a ticket and accommodation package with Holiday Extras.Check out Kids Pass for any ticket offers.Book via Picniq and receive a £5 Picniq voucher as well as discounts for nearby restaurants.Tower Hamlets residents can visit for just £1.You can get 2-for-1 tickets with Days Out (you will need a copy of your Days Out voucher and your train ticket).
