Take a canal boat trip and return to the museum for a fun craft event!

Ride on our canal boat that will take you from the museum to St. Pancras Lock and back again, full of fun & interesting facts to see and hear about along the way!

Back at the museum, join in on a supervised craft workshop - what will you make to take home?

Try out our interactive family trail around the exhibitions, including our popular ice cream role play parlour!

Who will earn their sticker for completing the trail?
