Herbert Museum & Art Gallery

I have visited The Herbert several times with my family. I have an eight year old and a four year old. I usually take them sometime in the holidays - The Herbert always has daily activities on and at the moment there is a Walking with Beasts Exhibition which my eight year boy loved! Fantastic family atmosphere and so much to do! I also found an offer on Visit Heart of England website for 10% off.

A fantastic place for children of all ages - it has won the Guardian Family Friendly award for 2010. There are organised art activities/storytelling/object handling every day throughout the summer holidays, a hands-on installation for kids which is far better than any soft play centre and permanent exhibitions with buttons and noises galore. Kept my 4 and 3 year old amused from 10.30 until after 3. Best of all it's free!
