Little dockers: Frost fairs – toddler sessions

This messy session will be held in a classroom. One activity involves making salt dough with flour, salt, cream of tartar and water. At times, the lighting may be low.

Photography helps families understand what to expect at our events and shows funders the great work we do. As such, a museum photographer may be present to take pictures. No need to preen or pose, just play!

The museum is open every day 10am – 5pm.

If you have time, why not also visit our free galleries and get more in-depth with Docklands history? And don't forget that under-12s get free entry to our Secrets of the Thames exhibition with fascinating finds from our city's foreshore.

Our family-friendly cafe is the perfect place to sit down and relax for a bite or tea break. We have lunch boxes for kids, sandwiches, pastries, snacks and a wide selection of hot and cold drinks.

You’ll also find our shop with a curated range of gifts and souvenirs, including posters, prints, toys, books and jewellery.
