Tips

The staff were very friendly and gave both the children a kids quiz/trail to complete with pencils.

They had different quizzes according to age ranges.

We were impressed with how calm it was, unlike many other London museums. It's not huge but you can walk around looking at the collections plus there's interactive children's displays -plus "hands on" activities. Our boys age 6 & 9 also watched the video with interest, enjoyed seeing the Roman coins and completed their quizzes.

At the end they handed them in and we're awarded a Bank of England pin badge (which their auntie was very envious of)

Would highly recommend

I took my five year old son and newborn baby here for day out and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to all ages.
