For most children, getting to play with an array of exotic animals would be a dream come true.

And luckily for Gwen Stefani's children this became a reality as they headed to London Zoo on Thursday and were lucky enough to be invited inside the penguin enclosure to meet them one-on-one.

Looking like they were in their element, Zuma and Kingston were able to feed and pet the animals while Gwen and husband Gavin Rossdale looked on.

Thanks to their star status, the famous family were able to get up close and personal with the adorable penguins, spotted hanging out inside the enclosure.

No Doubt star Gwen, 43, looked fascinated by the aquatic creatures and Gavin even whipped out his phone as the boys played.

The rock star couple have been making the most of their children's summer holiday from school and headed to the iconic zoo the day after taking them to a safari park.

The No Doubt singer wore a pair of printed trousers and a black vest in the soaring temperatures.

She added a pair of fluro sunglasses and added her bright red lipstick to finish off her look.

Instead of heels, Gwen wore a pair of gold sandals, showing off her pink pedicure in the process.

As well as looking at the various animal exhibits Gwen's sons were also seen playing with some dinosaur toys too.

With the children being looked after by a nanny, the pair spent some time together, before strangers interuppted.

As the pair strolled down the street one fan asked if he could take a picture with the blonde beauty.

Gwen was happy to stand for the snap, while Gavin chatted to some people in the group.
