Kids in the House

We welcome families to explore Parliament on our Kids in the House tour, designed especially to engage younger audiences (5 - 12 year olds) with our buildings, history, and parliamentary processes. 

Children will receive a free "Passport to Parliament" activity book as part of the tour, which they will use to complete activities related to their visit along the way and can take home at the end. This is a great introduction to Parliament for younger audiences, where they can learn about Parliament in a fun and engaging way.
