Summer Days at the Museum
Circus Train
For the school holidays, children will get the chance to run away with the circus and try juggling, hula loop, balance and more at the Circus Train.
Kids can also practice their acrobatic skills in the Circus Camp zone, or sharpen their aim and hand-eye coordination in a game of Bean Bag Toss and Crazy Quoits.
Train Exhibitions
Apart from getting active at the circus, children can also learn more about trains and see real-life steam and diesel locomotives. They can even drive one with a train simulator or play at the Nippers Railway indoor adventure playground.
Underworld: Mugshots from the Roaring Twenties
Workshops Rail Museum also prepared a fun learning activity for parents whilst the kids are having fun. In the Underworld: Mugshots from the Roaring Twenties , adults will be able to see 130 compelling mugshots taken by police between 1920-1930. Visitors can also earn about the era, justice and photography, and snap a family mugshot at the selfie wall.
