🦊 Smarty's Top Free Family Adventures in Barnet, London
Hey smart parents! Smarty the Fox here 🦊 — your go-to guide for fun, free, family adventures in London. Today, we’re heading to Barnet, where we’ve sniffed out two brilliant kid-friendly spots that are totally free and packed with fun. Whether you’re local or visiting, these are top family-friendly places in Barnet you won’t want to miss!
Barnet offers an array of family-friendly attractions that are perfect for parents looking to entertain their children on a budget. Its combination of outdoor playgrounds and unique free attractions makes it a top spot for smart parenting. Whether you want to explore nature, history, or simply let the kids burn off some energy, Barnet has you covered.
If you’re after free playgrounds in Barnet with a little bit of everything, this one’s a winner. Smarty’s ears perked up the moment we arrived—and your kids will too!
There’s loads to love at Golders Hill Park Playground. Toddlers can potter around in the big sandpit while older kids conquer rope climbing frames and tall slides. The whole place is themed like a wooden castle — perfect for pretend play!
Next to the playground is a totally free zoo! Yup, real animals in the middle of London. You’ll find lemurs, deer, donkeys, and even wallabies. It’s one of those rare London places that combines green space, animals, and fun—and it’s all free.
Smarty’s Tips:
– Pack a bucket and spade for the sandpit
– Bring snacks and have a picnic on the grass
– Arrive early on weekends — it’s popular with local families

Looking for free museums to visit with kids in London? This one’s perfect for a rainy day (and sunny ones too, thanks to the outdoor space!). Smarty had a blast pretending to be a pilot here!
The Royal Air Force Museum is massive — six hangars of aircraft to explore, from helicopters to fighter jets. Kids can climb into a mini Spitfire and even play with interactive exhibits. It’s the kind of place where you can learn something new every time.
Once you’ve had your fill of planes, the outdoor playground is fab. It’s themed around aviation, so little ones can climb through model planes and zoom down slides. Smarty definitely gave this one a paw of approval!
With baby changing facilities, a decent café, and plenty of space for buggies, it’s smart-parenting friendly all the way through. Great for families with babies, toddlers, and older kids too.
Smarty’s Tips:
– Use their RAF Museum app for bonus activities
– Sunny day? Do the playground first
– Rainy day? No worries — it’s mostly indoors
