Used to go here all the time as a kid growing up in the East End and found it a magical place. That was before the IRA bomb and you could touch most of the exhibits. Now days a lot has changed. The stuff is mainly behind glass but it's far from stale and stuffy, they have interactive exhibits for the kids, recreations of the animals that used to be kept there, free walking tours with a Beefeater and even a travelator in the jewel room to let people see the jewels without holding up the line. Took my son there for his first time and he loved it. He especially liked the tour with the Yeoman Warder Shaky, laughing heartily at his jokes! Top place to visit
