Visitor attractions league table 2022
With the help of an army of 'secret diner' parents, we surveyed the food offered to children and families at the UK's most popular visitor attractions.
Our Out to Lunch league table has revealed that kids’ health is taking the hit as popular visitor attractions struggle to bounce back post-pandemic with children’s menus scaled back or removed entirely.

Eden Project - 65/100 - 4 stars
Compared to 2018 league table: ⇧ 1
Another outstanding performance from the Eden Project, family-favourite in the south west. It’s easy to eat well at Eden Project – healthy food and drink are available from a number of eateries throughout the site, free drinking water is readily available, and there is an abundance of ethical, locally sourced ingredients on offer. Parents were impressed with the family friendly service at the Mediterranean Terrace, where staff were knowledgeable and happy to answer questions about ingredient sourcing, though they were disappointed that there wasn’t a little more veg included on the children’s menu.

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- The Eden Project sources lots of local Cornish ingredients, including ones grown in their own kitchen garden
- Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about where the ingredients come from
- The signs around the site promoted healthy and sustainable food choices, there were no junk food ads to be seen!
- Secret diners liked the setting and thought the attraction overall was great for families
Room for improvement:
- Have different sized portions to suit all ages and include more varied menus for children
- Have more fruit and vegetables available in restaurants and as healthy snacks
- It would be good to see farm assured meat and higher welfare animal products being sourced
“As it is a place you go to learn about plants and many of them being food plants, I was disappointed. You see fruit, bananas, citrus etc. growing, but none to buy!”
“There is a variety of options around the entire site which will suit most families. With younger children I would probably take them to a different food site to the Biome Kitchen as menu there was limited and did not cater for young children that well in terms of options”
-
Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh - 64/100 - 3.5 stars
Compared to 2018 league table: ⇩ 1
Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh has shot up the league table to claim first place – Bravo! Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is all about quality ingredients. The adult and child menus include veg that has been organically grown on-site in their Market Garden, while many of the other ingredients are sourced locally and from within Scotland. All their meat is farm assured and the fish on the menu is sustainable. And not only this, their meals are delicious! Our secret diners reported a fun-filled day out, learning about the many plants in the gardens before then eating the many tasty plants on offer in the restaurant.

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- The kids lunch box comes with fruit and vegetables and doesn’t automatically come with crisps
- The food looks appetising, all diners thought it was delicious and healthy
- Free fruit infused drinking water is a great way to encourage children to drink more water
- The Botanic Gardens are the only site to source any higher welfare meat and source lots of local Scottish produce, including some of their own produce from the gardens
Room for improvement:
- There is some palm oil that isn’t certified sustainable, it would be great if all palm oil was from sustainable sources.
- Have hot options for children and different portion sizes. The lunch box was a bit big for some children and a bit small for others!
- It would be good to see more steps to monitor and reduce waste across the site. There are recycling facilities but there is still room for more ambition
“The adult menu offered healthy, good options and tasty lunch with salad bar as standard. The surroundings were great, comfortable and easily accessible. I’d like to see more options for children - there was a 'yum box' but some options weren’t available and the sweet treats weren't particularly toddler friendly (high in sugar or covered in seeds/small nuts).”
“I liked the free water with orange slices in in a lovely glass jar with a tap - nice touch and makes children want to drink tap water more”
-
Chester Zoo - 63/100 - 3.5 stars
Compared to 2018 league table: =
Chester Zoo once again scores the highest for food you can trust. Scoring more than any other attraction in this category, Chester Zoo sources locally and seasonally, serves British farm assured meat, and is one of the only attractions that is working with suppliers to reduce antibiotic use on farm. Our secret diners had a great day out but thought that snacks and drinks available around the site could be better.

Do they offer a healthy choice?
How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- Food is freshly prepared and cooked in the restaurant – an impressive feat!
- All eggs are free range and all meat is farm assured which ensures traceability
- Chester Zoo sources locally and the menu changes seasonally to ensure it’s a fresh as it can be!
- Our secret diners thought the food looked great and liked the options on the menu
- There is a good selection of healthy plant-based proteins available.
Room for improvement:
- Provide free drinking water throughout the site and in the restaurants
- Have more healthier snacks on offer throughout the site. While there was some fruit available, crisps and donuts were the dominant option that stood out to our secret diners across the site
- In the main restaurants, have different sized meals to suit all ages and sized bellies
- Secret diners would like to see more veg options with kids meals
“My son had pizza but I asked if he could have veg with it - they said 'no it comes with chips’.”
“We loved our day. There were a lot of places to eat with varied menus and catered for lots of dietary requirements.”
-
Science Museum - 62/100- 3 stars
Compared to 2018 league table: ⇧ 1
After adventuring through space at the Science Museum, our secret diners enjoyed recharging at the Energy Café. Secret diners loved the options for adults but thought there could be more hot options for children. There is a strong focus on food waste reduction and a sustainability strategy in place. We think this could go further to make sure all meat is farm assured and higher welfare, as well as working on animal feed in the supply chain to reduce their environmental footprint even further.

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- The adult’s menu contains lots of fresh seasonal and locally sourced produce, it’s a shame this doesn’t extend to a kids menu
- There is an option for smaller portions of pizza and salad
- A robust waste reduction programme is in place tackling both kitchen and plate waste across the museum
- All fish are sustainably sourced
Room for improvement:
- Hot food choices for kids, including more vegetables.
- The Science Museum have removed the salad from the kids’ lunch boxes – we think they should put a veg option back and have the option to remove the pop corn
- Not all meat is farm assured and none is higher welfare
- Healthier snack options while some diners did spot the odd piece of fruit, there were lots of sugary cakes and shakes and not many healthy choices.
“The Science Museum is a fantastic attraction for families and they've obviously tried to make the food healthy, interesting and fresh for adults, but the kids option is so limited.”
“When it comes to snacks, there wasn't much available and not much choice. Only the shake bar was open serving crisps, ice creams and sandwiches. The cakes were pretty expensive and very sweet!”
-
ZSL London Zoo - 62/100 - 3 stars
Compared to 2018 league table: ⇧ 7
A family favourite, London Zoo is a popular day out. Scoring the highest for family friendliness, our secret diners really enjoyed the atmosphere in The Terrace restaurant. They told us that staff were helpful and the whole zoo felt well-laid out with lots of good facilities like clean toilets and water stations every 100 to 200 meters! There is still work to be done though to limit the environmental impacts of the food being served. For example there is no policy in place for sustainable soya used as animal feed and we know that this is linked to deforestation and threatens the extinction of animals and plants.
Do they serve fresh food you can trust?
Do they offer a healthy choice?
How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- London Zoo sources lots of local and predominantly UK produce, menus are also changed seasonally to include seasonal produce
- There is a strong waste reduction policy in place and our secret diners reported that recycling bins were easy to find
- The menu options are varied, and the children’s menu is more or less a reflection of what’s on offer for adults!
- It’s great to see new potatoes on the menu and it’s clearly stated you can swap out the fries
- All kids meals come with portions of veg and there are some healthy plant-based protein options like lentils and beans
Room for improvement:
- Animal welfare should be high on the agenda at a zoo and we think this should also be reflected in the food. We’d like to see higher welfare meat on the menu in addition to the organic milk and free range eggs which are already being used
- It would be good to see a robust policy in place to reduce antibiotics used in farm animals
- Introduce a policy to ensure soya in supply chains comes from sustainable sources
- Have some healthier snacks and drinks around the site
“The Terrace Restaurant had a balance of healthy meals as in there was a choice between hot and cold meals and also salad options and sandwiches not just the usual pizza and burgers and fish and chips. London Zoo had a continental food diner as well and then it also had ice cream and churros stands as well as the Turkish food stand. So I would say there was also a nice balance of different cultural foods”
“There were a lot of adverts for ice cream and slushies. Not many snack options and not particularly healthy.”
-
Natural History Museum - 61/100 - 3 stars
Compared to 2018: ⇧ 5
The Natural History Museum is always a popular family day out and our families thought all the food outlets across the site looked good for families to dine in.
Do they serve fresh food you can trust?
Do they offer a healthy choice?
How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- Secret diners liked that there were hot food options for children and there were good food options around the attraction
- All the meat is British farm assured and certified sustainable mackerel is an option on the menu – the only attraction with an oily fish option that isn’t salmon
- Fresh seasonal fruit salad is a dessert option for adults and kids
Room for improvement:
- Secret diners gave mixed feedback on whether they could find free drinking water around the site. It is pointed out on the map but perhaps better signage in the attraction could help.
- It’s time to stop making nature history. It would be good to see progress towards sustainable soya animal feed – soya supply chains are often associated with deforestation in South America which is putting animals and plants at risk of extinction.
- While no meals contain problematic colourings/additives, some meals still contain trans fats – it would be good to see these removed
“They use compostable cups and plastic lids for hot drinks - there is an obvious place to recycle them but I was upset that my coffee automatically came in one of these, rather than actual crockery - we were eating in, and I wasn't asked or given the choice. They were really, really busy, so I assume they were just doing this to save time.”
“There are three different restaurants and a cafe throughout the attraction. They all serve slightly different types of meal, so it is easy to find something that your child will eat and be happy with. The kids box comes with juice, sandwich, fruit and a small cake. I like the fact it doesn't automatically come with a bag of crisps!”
-
Westonbirt Arboretum - 60.5/100 - 3 stars
Compared to 2018: NEW
As a new entrant this year, Westonbirt Arboretum has landed in a strong position. Local produce is widely used and is highlighted on the menu, alongside a variety of organic ingredients. At the Kitchen Restaurant, food is cooked fresh, and our secret diners thought highly of the food options for both adults and children. While crisps were the main snacking event, there were minimally processed cereal bars, nuts and seed clusters and fresh fruit available in the shop. Free drinking water was easy to come by and a good selection of healthier adults’ drinks options, putting Westonbirt Arboretum scoring top for healthier choices across the attraction.

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- All children’s hot meals come with veg and adults’ meals are all balanced and healthy with a good range of protein, starchy food and veg
- Fresh fruit is available as a dessert option or a snack and there are healthy snack options available
- There are lots of local and seasonal ingredients on the menu and meals are all cooked for the first time in the restaurant and mostly prepared and made fresh onsite
Room for improvement:
- Lunch boxes automatically come with crisps – it would be good to see a veg option
- There is no higher welfare meat on the menu, and not all meat is farm assured
- It would be good to see a policy to reduce antibiotic use in the supply chain and also work towards sustainable soya used for animal feed
- While there are some procedures in place to reduce waste, a more robust policy could be introduced to monitor and evaluate kitchen and plate waste
“Good variety of food for adults and children, some organic produce available (e.g. sourdough bread) children’s meals all came with vegetables or salad items as standard.”
“From what we experienced the food was local and trying to contain few preservatives/additives, cans were more sparkling water and juice than cola. However, it would've been handy to substitute some items in a meal - or even have some not on the plate! That was not allowed by the chef until an allergy led the chef to agreeing to substitute the honeydew melon in the desert for watermelon.”
-
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum - 60/100 - 3 stars
Compared to 2018: ⇧ 8
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum have leaped up the table this year. Local Scottish produce takes pride of place on the menu here and menus are changed regularly to reflect seasonal availability. Our secret diners really enjoyed their meals and thought the food was delicious and healthy, although they did comment on the lack of options for children, particularly when compared to the adult menu.

Top marks:
- Kelvingrove is championing local Scottish produce with Scottish produce taking centre place across the menu
- Our secret diners thought the food was ‘absolutely delicious’, thought the staff were friendly and really enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant
- All eggs here are free range and palm oil isn’t on the menu
- The vegetarian options on the menu contain healthy plant proteins including lentils and chickpeas
Room for improvement:
- Introduce a sustainable fish sourcing policy to ensure fish on the menu is from sustainable sources
- Switch to farm assured meat that’s traceable to the farm
- While there is a good selection on the adult menu, our secret diners would like to see a few more options on the kids menu
- Remove salt-shakers from the table to support salt reduction
“The food was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely.”
“The food was nice and very healthy but not a lot of choice.”
-
Kew Gardens - 59/100 - 3 stars
Compared to 2018: ⇧ 3
Maintaining a strong position again this year, Kew Gardens scored highly for their sourcing practices. Kew Gardens has an ambitious sustainability strategy with a strong focus on waste reduction and better sourcing policies. They are the only attraction with a robust policy to reduce antibiotic use in farm animals and the only attraction actively working to move their supply chain toward sustainable animal feed. The Family Kitchen, a new addition to the attraction, was rated highly by secret diners who liked the range of food on offer for adults and children but thought the lay out of the restaurant was tricky to navigate if families wanted to eat different things.
Do they serve fresh food you can trust?

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- It’s fantastic to see work towards sustainable soya animal feed – with 3 million tonnes of soya imported into the UK for animal feed, more needs to be done to make sure it’s not contributing to deforestation or harming nature and people.
- All meat on the menu is British and farm assured
- Kew Gardens are the only site to be proactively moving away from ‘The Big 5 fish’ and have one of the strongest fish sourcing policies in place. They only serve fish from responsibly sourced fisheries and aquaculture operations.
- The Family Kitchen hosts a soft furnished space designed to support mothers who are breast feeding
Room for improvement:
- Some families with young children who couldn’t queue by themselves found the lay out a bit difficult to navigate as there were different queues for different types of food and the wait time in the busy summer holiday meant the food was cold by the time they sat down.
- One dessert on the adult menu contains 140% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar for adults – it would be great to see less sugar on the menu
- Have more variety in starchy food and introduce wholegrains – our secret diners would have liked to see a couple of lighter options available
“The setting was amazing. There was a focus on gardens, with different seating areas set in different gardens. We all really enjoyed the food too.”
“This location was high carb and few vegetables. We asked for a veggie pizza, but they were out. There was a kids sandwich meal that my daughter was interested in, but the yoghurt and veg sticks were not available and our options to go with it included a pack of crisps and a high sugar fruit rollup sweet!”
-
ZSL Whipsnade Zoo - 43/100 - 2 stars
Compared to 2018 league table: ⇩ 6
Sliding considerably down the table this year is Whipsnade Zoo. In 2018 we sent our secret diners to The River Cottage Kitchen which serves up balanced meals with portions of veg. But this year we asked diners to visit the most popular onsite restaurant, the Basecamp Restaurant. Whipsnade Zoo’s sourcing policies are good, serving 95% English produce and only serving farm assured meat and sustainably sourced fish. However, diners thought the menu options at this restaurant were limited and healthier food and snacks were difficult to find across the site.

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- Whipsnade Zoo source almost all produce from England and seasonal produce is used
- All meat is British and farm assured and it was great that staff were knowledgeable about where ingredients were from
- There aren’t many adverts for junk food around
Room for improvement:
- Kids lunch boxes don’t come with any fresh fruit or veg – it would be great to have the option to swap out the crisps and sugary raisins
- Shaped meat/non-meat products make up a large portion of the kids menu - less processed food choices would be welcome
- Secret diners found it hard to find drinking water in the restaurant and throughout the attraction
- Although there are some practices in place to reduce food waste, more could be done to monitor both kitchen and plate waste
- It would be great to see a policy in place to reduce antibiotic use in farm animals
“Everything was stodgy, fried, covered in cheese or just too big.”
“The Basecamp Restaurant used to be excellent (last visit about 6 years ago) but was today really disappointing. It felt like a McDonald’s. The poor food experience did reduce my enjoyment of the day as a whole.”
-
The Great North Museum - 42/100 - 2 stars
Compared to 2018: NEW
The Great North Museum is another site that has been hit hard over the last few years. While families enjoyed the museum exhibits there was only a simple café service currently running so food options at this popular museum are still limited. All sandwiches are freshly prepared on site and the café only sources produce from the UK. However, aside from tomato in the sandwich there are no vegetables on the menu and kids’ lunch boxes are generally not very healthy, coming with crisps or a cookie and an artificially sweetened drink.

Top marks:
- Families like the option of having brown bread and staff were helpful, ensuring that food was suitable for dietary requirements
- The museum only sources UK produce and all eggs are free range
- There is free drinking water available and a space designed to support breast feeding mothers is available
Room for improvement:
- We’d like to see some veg on the menu – for example a side salad or crudité pot with the kids’ lunch box
- The lunch box could come with a healthy drink that doesn’t contain artificial sweeteners
- There could be procurement policies in place to make sure meat is farm assured and higher welfare and fish is certified sustainable
“There were too many carbs and sugar and it was not delicious enough to warrant spending money on when a short walk away there are places with delicious options at similar prices.”
-
National Museum Wales, Cardiff - 34/100 - 2 stars
Compared to 2018: ⇧ 1
Many attractions were hit hard over the last couple of years with closures caused by the pandemic, ongoing staffing difficulties and high levels of inflation, and some haven’t yet bounced back. The National Museum Wales is one. With the main restaurant still closed, this year’s survey is based on the café provision. The museum didn’t return the survey so we’re not sure what their sourcing practices are like, but the menu indicates some local produce is being used. The menu was simple but our secret diners loved it, with hot and cold options for both adults and children. Overall families had a great day out here.

Top marks:
- Local produce is used in some dishes across the menu, for example the Carmarthenshire ham and local cheese
- There are some healthier meal options and secret diners like the selection of salad bowls and sandwiches in brown bread
- Salt isn’t on the dining tables, helping customers cut back
Room for improvement:
- There weren’t any bins to recycle plastic drinks bottles and cardboard
- Unhealthy snacks were right by the check out and crisps, cake and confectionary were the only snack on offer
- There wasn’t any free drinking water on offer around the site or in the café
“A fantastic attraction to visit, especially for free, means that I can have frequent short visits with my son to see his favourite displays in the museum.”
“Pleasant day out but potential for improving on what is already in place. I’d like to see healthier choices for kids lunchbox items and healthier hot food options for kids.”
-
Legoland - 32/100 - 1.5 stars
Compared to 2018: ⇧ 3
Legoland chose not to return their survey this year, so we don’t know if they’ve made many changes since 2018. At the all-you-can-eat Pizza and Pasta restaurant, secret diners were glad to see fresh veg on offer in the salad bar but apart from this there was no veg in sight in any of the other restaurants or kiosks. There were junk food kiosks serving up fried chicken, burgers and fries alongside ice cream stalls and sweet shops. Secret diners saw a lot of unhealthy food adverts – deep fried food and soft drinks were never far from view.

How family-friendly is it?
Top marks:
- Secret diners liked the unlimited salad bar accompanying the pizza
- Free drinking water was easy to find across the site
Room for improvement:
- In 2018 Legoland pledged to introduce a portion of veg with every meal but they haven’t made any progress.
- There is still an abundance of deep-fried food across the site. Our secret diners only found fruit on offer in one diner and hardly any veg apart from at the salad bar. It’s about time they introduced some healthier choices
- Legoland need to introduce healthier drinks options and cut out the unlimited refill fizzy drinks
- Remove the junk food adverts and promote healthier options
- Next time we’d like Legoland to return the survey and be transparent about their sourcing practices
“The food is mainly unhealthy, not great quality and very expensive. However, we loved the buffet style option where you could have as much or as little as you wanted. There is a lot of choice and the restaurant is very inclusive for SEN families.”
“Most of the food available is junk food: pizza, hot dogs, burgers, fish & chips, chicken restaurant, sandwiches, snacks, ice cream or sweets. I would rate it higher if prepared salads or restaurant with wraps/pitta were available.”
-
World Museum - 30/100 - 1.5 stars
Compared to 2018: NEW
The World Museum is another new entry into the table. This Liverpool Museum is popular with families and there are lots of hands-on exhibitions to interest people of all ages. There were no junk food adverts around the site and secret diners said the food was tasty, albeit not particularly healthy and there aren’t many choices. The museum didn’t return the survey so we don’t know what the procurement practices are like or whether they are working to reduce food waste.

Top marks:
- Fresh salads are in the fridges and the soups contain veg meaning it is possible to eat a bit more healthily
- Drinking water is available in the café and salt isn’t on the dining table, supporting salt reduction
- There aren’t any junk food ads around the site and some exhibitions link to sustainable diets, like in the aquarium
Room for improvement:
- The only hot meal for children was chicken nuggets. We’d like to see more healthy options on the menu, especially for children. There is a lot of fried food on the menu.
- Staff didn’t know where the meat came from or whether it was higher welfare
“The museum itself was great! There are so many things to see and it's very interactive so it's great for the kids, especially the aquarium. It's a shame the food wasn't very inspiring.”
“Children’s meals were uninspired and not particularly nutritious.”
-
The Ulster Museum - 30/100 - 1.5 stars
Compared to 2018: NEW
The Ulster Museum failed to return their survey this year and as a new entrant it meant they enter near the bottom of the league table. We don’t know what their procurement practices are like and also don’t know if food is freshly prepared. The menu indicated that some of the ingredients are locally sourced and there are some good options for adults. Secret diners really enjoyed the museum exhibits and spent a lot of time here but overall were disappointed in the food options, particularly for children, and café staff.

Top marks:
- It looks like there is some local sourcing of ingredients
- There is a good variety of carbohydrate and protein options on the adult menu, including whole foods such as chickpeas
- There are no unhealthy food adverts around the site
Room for improvement:
- There is hardly any veg on the menu and is noticeably missing from the kids’ meals – at least one portion of veg should come with every meal
- Fruit is available with the kids’ lunch box but apart from this there are no other healthy snacks
- Cakes, doughnuts and other sweet treats are right next to the check out
“Overall, the food was nice but no healthy option for kids. I had to ask for tap water and snack options were a selection of crisps or chocolate bars, no fruit was seen.”
-
Drayton Manor - 23/100 - 1 stars
Compared to 2018: NEW
As a new entrant, Drayton Manor tumbled to the bottom of the table. Our secret diners couldn’t find any healthy food or drinks and were shocked that Thomas Land, an area aimed at younger children, had two shops just for sweets! Secret diners reported seeing a lot of junk food adverts, and secret diners found that they were never too far from donuts or other sugary snacks. As Drayton Manor didn’t respond to the survey, we don’t know what their sourcing policies are like or whether food is freshly prepared.

Top marks:
- Our secret diners enjoyed the Safari setting but were disappointed there weren’t portion sizes suitable for children
- Salad is an option and there is a good balance of vegetarian options on the pizza menu
Room for improvement:
- Have child sized portions
- Cut back on the soft drinks, remove the refillable option and have healthier drinks choices such as juice and water
- We’d like Drayton Manor to be transparent about their food offering – diners want to know and trust what they are being served
“There is junk food on every single kiosk, no fruit or healthier snacks for toddlers. I think for the type of day out you’re having you probably want to treat yourself, but I would have liked to have seen fruit at kiosks because it was a hot day and that would have been refreshing, but also so my daughter had something healthy.”
“By the drive home [the kids] even headed to the fruit boxes at the service station! They knew they’d maxed out!”
“[There were] limited drinks options but big up sell on supersizing drinks to the refillable option of fizzy drinks. Plus they had doughnuts prominently at the counter which hooked my two in (but we didn’t buy).”
“Some rides also required you to walk through shop after, where there were tubs of sweets and candy floss everywhere.”

Methodology
See the scoring criteria and survey methodology
We're calling on attractions to take 5 simple steps to improve the food and experience they offer to children and families:
- Improve the food offering for children, including putting hot meals back on kids’ menus and making child-sized portions available.
- Serve at least one portion of vegetable with every kid’s meal.
- Support healthier choices by offering healthier snacks and reducing the availability and visibility of high sugar and ultra-processed snacks.
- Switch to UK farm assured meat and higher welfare animal products, such as organic.
- Make sure free drinking water is readily available around the attraction including in restaurants
