There is plenty of room for them to run around and a play fort. The museum is brilliant and I am sure they would find something to look at, like the shoes, but it takes quite a long time to look properly at all the items, so they may not want to take that long. The café is in the museum building.

Hi Fran, We went on a guided tour at 10.30am on Saturday 5th May. There was another one on later, maybe at 1pm? The guided tour is included in the admission price, and meets inside the courtyard at the western entrance. The other entrance is at the museum end of the site. The tour is conducted by a volunteer, ours was great. I highly recommend a tour! Jayne
Q:
