Ways to Play
This event is part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities.
Make your ‘Ways to Play’ adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro and / or Ferry.
Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro and the Shields Ferry with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it’s even more affordable.
About
The session will be most suited to participants who are learning at an age of 5 or under. Older children are welcome. There will be an interactive story, and songs followed by some simple exploratory play experiences which relate to the story theme. There will also be an opportunity to feel a museum object.
Please note: This session has a small capacity; if your circumstances change and you can no longer attend, please get in touch with the learning team at learning@greatnorthmuseum.org.uk so that we can offer the space to our waiting list.
