Families
We help families have a great time at museums, galleries, historic homes and heritage sites. Here's how to join our community of families who love museums and are passionate about how they can be better for all ages.
With your help and feedback, we support museums to be family friendly through a range of programmes.
You can get involved by:
- making a nomination or becoming an undercover judge for our Family Friendly Museum Award
- giving us your feedback through our regular family surveys
- telling us about your museum trip on social media using #KidsInMuseums
- taking part in or inviting your local museum to get involved in Takeover Day or Digital Takeover Day
- checking out our guides to fun family days out.
To hear more about our work and about family friendly museum events, sign up to our Family Mailing List.
You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
