About this Event

Sessions take place on 15 December, 10–11am and 11.15am–12.15pm.

Mini Museum Explorers is for children aged 2½ to 4 and their parents or carers. Each session uses play, making, stories and hands-on activities to introduce children to science, nature and history.

For our final Mini Museum Explorers of 2026, we’re heading into the Ice Age. Wrap up warm and set off on a journey from giant woolly mammoths to the remarkable animals of the Antarctic, brought to life through craft, storytelling and imaginative play. It’s a fun, engaging way to spark curiosity while spending quality time together.

KS1 home educators are welcome at the 11.15 session. These sessions are for children attending with their carers and aren’t suitable for larger nursery groups. Dedicated group sessions can be arranged on request.

Parents/carers must stay with their children throughout the session. Younger siblings and babies are welcome, but some activities and materials may not be suitable for children under 2½ years old. Accompanying babies and younger siblings attend at their parent or carer’s own risk.
