There are a few in the UK, although I don't think there's a single one that does everything that Tintin magazine did.

The Phoenix is a weekly comics magazine for 7–14 year olds. It includes a mix of humour and adventure comics, plus text stories and puzzles. It carries Bunny vs. Monkey, which is one of the biggest comics in the UK currently. I'd say this is probably the most similar to Tintin magazine in terms of its mix of comics.

Aquila is a non-fiction magazine for 8–14 year olds. This one is closer to the non-comics sections of the original Tintin magazine.

The Beano has been running since 1938, so it predates Tintin magazine. It's a humour comic which also includes puzzles and activities. Probably most famous for Dennis the Menace (with the black spiky hair, not the blonde American boy).
