Designed for children aged 2 1/2 to 4, along with their parents, grandparents, and carers, these monthly sessions offer an immersive journey of scientific or historical exploration and discovery.
Got a preschooler interested in science and the natural world? Why not book a place on our fabulous Mini Museum Explorers session! This month we’ll be reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar together and exploring the lifecycle of a butterfly on 24th March at 10 AM – 11 AM or 11:15 AM – 12:15 PM. We have so much lined up from story to craft and looking at real butterflies under the microscope!
Mini Museum Explorer sessions are designed for pre-school children and their carers – they are unsuitable for larger nursery groups (although we are happy to organise these for you!)
Spaces cost £3 per child.
