Family visits to London Museum Docklands
Everything you need to know before you get here.
Refuel with snacks and drinks in our family-friendly cafe, open 10am – 4.30pm.
We have another seating area if you’d like to bring your own food during weekends and school holidays. Just ask a Host and they'll show you where to find it.
We have baby changing facilities to help keep our littlest visitors happy. You'll find them on our Basement Floor, Ground Floor and Third Floor.
You’re welcome to breastfeed anywhere in the museum. Please do ask our staff to point you in the direction of our quieter spaces if you’d prefer more privacy.
We have quiet sessions every Monday during school term between 3–4.40pm. Full details are on our access page.
Prams and buggies are welcome in the museum. We also have a buggy park if you would prefer to leave it behind.
Mudlarks is very popular and tickets often sell out, so we recommend booking in advance online.
Tickets are £3 for each adult and child above nine months old.
