London Expo

[jazzyconkers]

Hello everyone
after so much deliberation we decided that the next step forward was to go to the London Expo next week.
we are wondering if this is the right place to take our kids, we have read that the Leeds Expo had lots of queues?
we wanted to get the kids involved as much as possible, and are asking for any advice to anyone who has been to previous Expo's, will the kids appreciate it, and get anything out of it?

Hi, We have been to the London Expo a couple of times. They are informative, but could be quite boring for kids I would imagine! The queues can get long, but manly for the Government Stand and the State Stands i.e Queensland, NSW, etc. Your kids (depending on how old they are) may enjoy collecting all the freebies though, most stands give away pens, beachballs, sweets! Also some of the talks are interesting, we went to the Queenlands one and it was very informative and only took about half an hour so was not to long.

Hope this helps!

Hi Golden Grahams

No, absolutely not a place for kids, if anything they will hold you back. There is nothing there for them to do but follow you around.

Have you been to an expo before, if not worth going the first time, but we went to Leeds one today, 2nd expo in 6 weeks, complete waste of time and money, same bunch of people more or less as at the last one.
