Children's activities

Keep the kids entertained with activities, games and events, most of which are free.

Kids and parents can have fun with books, games and computers in the Play Pod in Experimedia, enjoy a game of chess or play on a games console.

We also run school holiday programs, tours especially designed to help children explore our collections and sessions where parents can introduce children to reading.

For school group activities, also check our on-demand programs for primary and secondary students.
