Families
We love welcoming families to our museum and have signed up to the Kids in Museums manifesto to help us make your visit even better.
With family trails, holiday activities and fascinating exhibits, we hope you’ll find plenty to see and do for the whole family.
When you’ve finished exploring the museum, you’re welcome to picnic by the beck. Ask at reception if you need to borrow a picnic blanket.
We have baby change facilities and somewhere for you to park your buggy while you explore upstairs at the museum.
Children under 5s are free and we offer a selection of family tickets.
Explore the Museum with Our New Fun and Colourful Map!
Designed by artist Ruth Dyer, our vibrant new map is the perfect guide to help you and your family discover all the amazing objects and hidden treasures throughout the museum.
Challenge your friends and family to find every object on the map and don’t miss the games and activities waiting around every corner!
Start your adventure by downloading your map here or pick up a copy at the museum.
