This summer we are welcoming families to the Hyde Park Learning Centre, our safe fully enclosed site with toilet facilities, for our popular free drop-in Discovery Days! Throughout the summer holidays we have been hosting four weeks of themed outdoor activities every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Join us for week three to uncover the treasure in the centre of Hyde Park.
Drop in anytime between 11am-3pm to take part in a variety of activities including:
- A pirate orienteering challenge
- Making your own nest boat and seeing if it will float
- Build a home for elves and fairies
- Experiment with catapults - how far can you make it launch?
Please note:
- The activities are suitable for the whole family to enjoy, allowing you and your children to connect with nature together (and giving you the chance to find your inner child!)
- Storytelling sessions will take place at 12, 1, and 2pm with all other activities ongoing through the day.
- For more information about visiting please see our FAQ's below or email us at PublicProgrammes@royalparks.org.uk.

Frequently asked questions
The Hyde Park Learning Centre is in the centre of Hyde Park but is well hidden and so can be difficult to find if you haven’t visited before. Please use this map to navigate to The Hyde Park Learning centre: https://goo.gl/maps/yWdmM6eZU4uznhdj6. Our “What three words” location is cabin.areas.urban
Discovery Days are designed for families. The activities are aimed at children from 3 -11 years of age. We aim to have a sensory activity suitable for under 3's and some more challenging activities that are suitable for 11 years + (Including the grown-ups!).
The activities will run from 11am – 3pm, you do not need to arrive at a certain time. We recommend arriving before 2.30pm so you have time to explore before closing time.
