Family Fun Days
Special event days for families are arranged in the school holidays on selected dates. These include a craft activity in the museum on a changing theme and usually short boat trips are available if pre-booked. See the Family Fun Days page
Age and Suitability
We reccommend the museum for children aged six and over. Younger children are welcome but are probably not old enough to enjoy museum visits. Children under 14 years must be accompanied by an adult.
The Activity Zone
The Activity Zone is a small area on the ground floor for our youngest visitors. There they can learn through play, using the materials provided, and there is a whiteboard with magnetic letters and canal related images to be used to create artistic effects! There are childrens' books, and things to colour in. There is an ice-cream parlour where children will serve mock ice-cream to their parents!
