To help Mom and Dad get ready for their well-rounded Olympic time in London we discovered the top 4 most booked family friendly offerings to be found right now. Check them out!
1. Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter
Who can resist the world of magic, wizards and ghosts as brought to life in the beloved Harry Potter film series?
The grand opening for ” Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter” opened last summer, and tickets are always in hot demand especially during the school break season. And it’s been reported that tickets for the summer, 2013 season are already in high demand.
If you and your family manage to attend a studio visit, the kids can virtually soar through the air on a broomstick like Harry and his friends did, read a few original Potter-esque spell books, and even choose a prop magic wand at this 150,000 square foot attraction built-in a former aircraft factory.
The place is a must-see for true Harry Potter fans, although parents and children should be advised that it is not an amusement park ride event.

2. Matilda: The Musical
It’s been billed as the best British musical in years – at least since “Billy Elliot.”
A theatrical presentation about the schoolgirl heroine by the name of Matilda. The show is an all-singing, all-dancing adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s story about a little girl with magical powers who won’t let her dysfunctional parents or bullying headmistress get her down.
Three young girls alternate the starring role of Matilda, but any of the them should steal your heart.
Note: Matilda the Musical has also opened in New York City at the Shubert Theatre on March 4, 2013
