Our biggest annual Family Day, celebrating our re-opening in 2018 - pop in for family based activities in the Whale Hall, galleries and our Discovery Room, which displays over 200 British birds.
Look out for more details - but save the date!
This month we are talking all about birds!
This is an expert led session in the Museum. There are two sessions, one at 10.30 and another at 11.30. Both are the same.
Please book ahead as spaces are limited. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Only children need a ticket.
At the Disability Friendly Opening, the museum will be open exclusively for families with children with sensory sensitivities. This event is aimed at children with special educational needs who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.
Join artist Sally Todd who will lead fun, hands-on, playful activities for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and their grown-ups. This relaxed and social session takes place around the Museum.
The afternoon session, 1-2pm, is suitable for babies aged 0-18 months and their parents and carers.
Note: A family ticket is for up to 2 adults with up to 3 children.
Drop into our fun, hands-on activities and get trained up for a summer of fossil and rock hunting. Rummage in everyday gravel and be amazed by your fossil finds. Learn how to identify the three main rock types using our beautiful specimens. Go the extra mile and use our scientists’ lab techniques to reveal rocks that glow under UV light, and minerals that form a rainbow of colours under powerful microscopes.
