Questions parents ask
- Can I touch things in the museum, or is it all behind glass?
- Some items are displayed for hands-on exploration. The novelty telephone collection includes working examples that you are welcome to touch, allowing children to engage directly with part of the exhibition.
- Is there anywhere to eat or drink at the museum?
- We haven't confirmed a café or refreshments at the museum itself. However, the museum is located at the Wyllyotts Centre, so you may find facilities within that complex.
- What ages is the museum suitable for?
- The museum tells the story of Potters Bar through artefacts spanning Roman times to the 20th century. School visits can be arranged, suggesting it works for groups of children, though particular age suitability is best discussed with the education officer.
- Is it manageable with a pushchair, or will I struggle?
- We haven't confirmed how buggy-friendly the museum is. For details about access with a pushchair and other facilities, the Accessibility page on their website should have the information you need.
- How long should we spend here?
- The museum is described as offering a collection to explore, with permanent displays and a twice-yearly exhibition. Allow at least an hour to see the main items including the Zeppelin collection, Roman finds, and novelty telephones at a reasonable pace with children.
