Love the Barbican. It’s perfect for a chill day out in central. If you’re thinking of taking your teenagers here or thinking of going yourself then deffo do it. It’s always got great stuff on especially if you’re into the artsy scene.

The conservatory is fab! SO MUCH GREEN!! It’s like being in a jungle. Very cool.
The outdoor fountain and lake is full of fish.
We saw a children’s exhibition on how kids play all over the world and it made me realise how lucky we are and how easy it is to make play with something simple.
