Family visit essentials

Useful expectations and practical guidance in one place

What children can see and do

Expect a compact, information-led visit rather than a dedicated play space. Expect the family experience to use the same visitor route as the general visit unless the current programme advertises a separate workshop or guided session.

Age guidance

Best suited to school-age children able to engage with historical displays.

Practical information

Contact the venue before bringing a school-age group because capacity, security or appointment conditions can apply. No additional family facility should be assumed from the family programme alone; check toilets, step-free access and pushchair storage directly if they affect the visit. Confirm the current session or activity at arrival even when general admission is free.
