The Museum Detectives Agency Summer Trail!
Throughout all 6 weeks of the Summer holidays we’ll have The Museum Detectives Agency Summer trail! Children will need to use their UV torch or wear their 3D glasses to find the clues hidden around the museum, and claim their FREE prize! There will be a different trail each week (changing over every Friday), so families can return each week and make the most of their Summer. Visit once and get FREE re-admission for the Summer (valid for 1 child and 1 accompanying adult).
22nd July- 4th September.
We’ve teamed up with National Waterways Museum to offer summer family tickets (up to 2 adults and 3 children). This will entitle a family entrance to both our museums (on the day of purchase only) for the cost of only £20 which results in huge savings.
