I was outside Kensington palace with my wife and son and we thought why don't we visit ? I snapped out my phone and through head out quickly got tickets - the experience was a breeze and we really enjoyed the visit. My wife enjoyed trying out the different clothes and I like way they promote you interacting with the exhibits

It was fun getting to explore the parts of Kensington we had access to. Sing the rings and leaning the information about Queen Victoria was interesting and the information on the last Princesses of Punjab was fascinating!

I was so touched to see where Queen Victoria grew up. By mistake, I booked with a third party and the representative In the ticket office was so helpful in sorting it out.

Buying tickets was easy and they were sent to my email quickly. I enjoyed how we were able to enter and go at our own pace instead of having to stay with a mandatory group. I will say that describing the meeting area could have been more informed. Other than that I had a wonderful experience with my daughters.
