Design a Beetle Suncatcher

Visit our sun beetles in Creature Corner and make a sun beetle sun catcher to hang in your window.

Whilst you're in the museum, why not pop down to creature corner and say hello to our other residents! 

Drop in from 11am - 12.30pm and 1pm-3pm

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.
