The Story Museum is a family attraction celebrating stories through immersive galleries and hands-on spaces. The Galleries feature story-themed zones including a Whispering Wood, Enchanted Library and Story Arcade, plus the Mystery Academy: School for Young Detectives in the Treasure Chamber, recommended for ages 5+. Small Worlds is a separate 60-minute session with stories and play in picture-book and tale-themed areas, recommended for ages 5 and under. Visitors can tumble down a rabbit hole, step through wardrobe doors into Narnia and play on a storytelling bed. The museum also runs seasonal events and performances.
