Part of the community for over 45 years, the London Children’s Museum provides play-based learning opportunities that support children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Interactive exhibits, daily hands-on programs, and over 7,000 artifacts allow children to explore history and heritage, investigate science and social relationships, and celebrate art and culture.
