Can You Visit, London Eye (+Cruise), Sealife, Dungeons & Madame Tussauds In A Day?

If the Jubilee is not fully operational, you will not be able to do the London attractions as planned-it would be best to do London on Friday or Monday due to the weekend engineering works and transfer one of the theme parks to another day.

I personally don't rate Madam Tussauds and when family/friends come over and want to visit it, I try to rush around it as fast a possible and it usually takes a minimum of 90 minutes due to the crowds (and lol the fact they keep insiting on looking at the waxwork models).

the eye ,aquarium and dungeons are right near each other but i dont rate the aquarium ,the one near chester is miles better. does it have to be a cruise ?we went on the duck tour and loved it .

it would be such a long day to fit it all in, took my boys and we did the dungeons , then the eye then aquarium , and i was exhausted so was they , and that was a week day we got home about 7pm but they slept well

We're usually in and out of Tussauds within the hour- but we dont stop and do lots of pics or anything as that is what adds extra time on.
The dungeons is a set tour so took around 2 hours. You can't do it any quicker than that as you are lead around. We did have to wait a good 45 mins to get in and get started on that too.
The eye is probably worth doing last as it is as good at night as during the day
We also usually do the aquarium in under an hour as there isn't actually that much there.
It will come down to size of queues as with passes you do still have an element of queuing, we have always used our merlin passes at these attractions. With the Eye you just join the standard queue (Unless we've missed something!!) the aquarium was normal queue too, but the others you could fast track in.

Certainly shorter cruises are available - but whether they are covered by the Merlin pass I don't know. There are also commuter boats - cheaper than the cruises (no commentary) but almost certainly not on the pass.

Hmmm...you can probably do 3 of these things. The London Dungeon is about 2 hours. Don't forget you'll want to actually stop and eat something!

The London Eye & Sea Life can be done in half a day easy.
But both of the others as well would be a bit tiring IMHO.

As far as I know, the cruise isn't included for merlin pass holders anyway.....unless that's something I've just never been told about?

No idea - I'd assumed from the original query that it was, but rereading it suggests that may be a false assumption
