Top tips for a great family day out
Whether this is your first time at the museum or you've been through our doors before, here's our guide to make your visit a day out to remember.
Plan your route
Whether you're using public transport, your bike or your car, take a look at the map before setting out to the Museum of London Docklands.
Take in the sights of the Docks with a stroll alongside the river, make a day out of it by checking out what our friends at Canal & River Trust are up to or discover the network of waterways in the area on a longer walk. You can also cycle to the museum and park here - there are plenty of bike racks at the front, and some more just at the back of our building.
