Questions parents ask
- Is it manageable with a buggy, or should I leave it at home?
- We haven't confirmed whether buggies are practical round the museum, so it's worth contacting them before you visit to find out what the layout is like. The museum does have step-free access, which is a good sign for accessibility.
- Is there somewhere to eat, or should we bring a picnic?
- We haven't confirmed whether there's a café or picnic area at the museum. Contact them in advance to find out what food options are available on the day.
- How long should we plan to spend there?
- The museum doesn't specify how long a typical visit takes, so it depends on how interested your children are in Roman history and archaeology. It's worth asking them directly so you can plan the rest of your day.
- What ages will enjoy it most?
- The museum runs activities for children throughout the year and is in high demand as an educational resource for schools, which suggests it works well for younger visitors. They also hold an annual Roman festival and metal detector experience days that may appeal to different age groups.
