Families looking for fun days out at London attractions will find it difficult to beat London Zoo when it comes to entertaining the kids.

There is so much to do at the zoo, but one thing animal lovers will no doubt enjoy is Marathon Running with the Zebras, which takes place from 12.00pm every day.

Visitors to this attraction will join the zebras for their mid-morning snack and hear all about their annual migration, over which they cover a distance 70 times that ran in a marathon.

After this, why not head over to the Deadly Birds Live exhibition, where people can watch the zoo's hunting and scavenging birds show off their skills at finding and catching food.

It is universally agreed that penguins are one of the cutest animals on the planet, and it is no surprise, therefore, that the Penguin Beach exhibit is a particularly popular one.

At England's biggest viewing pool, visitors can see the cute little birds swim around, or watch at feeding time.
