Our play boxes and explorer trails will add an extra layer of interactive family fun to your visit!

Free to loan with admission | Pick up from our welcome desk

Aimed at ages 1 – 5 

Available every day at reception is an early years friendly trail activity, which includes playing with shapes, finding vehicles, spotting numbers and letters, all while you explore the museum. 

You can also pick up one of our popular Mini Museum Engineers Play Boxes. Each play box has a selection of playthings inside. Explore the contents of the box as you relax in a calm corner or pull up near your child's favourite vehicle. The content of the boxes will vary and are updated regularly.  

Our Engineer Explorer activities are free to loan from reception. Ask for one activity to use throughout your visit and return the activity for other families to enjoy.
 

Please be aware that these activities are very popular and loans are subject to availability. Trails and play boxes will be given out on a first come, first served basis. You might spot some play boxes or trails at Box Office that are not in use but are unable to be handed out at your time of requesting them. This means that they are on a sanitising break where our museum team carefully cleans them, so the boxes are ready to be used and played with again.
