The Horniman Museum and Gardens

Really lovely morning at the museum. It's free to enter, with the option of paying for entry to the aquarium, butterfly house, and any visiting exhibitions (Robot Zoo when we visited). The gardens are really pleasant with an interactive sound play area, which my kids loved. Entry to the aquarium was a little expensive for the size of the exhibition. However, they do offer a £1 ticket for all the paid exhibitions for people in receipt of Universal Credit. The butterfly house is also small for the admission price, but it is worth a visit. My kids found it magical, but the older adults found it far too hot! The cafe was very busy (half term) and very expensive. If you can, I recommend taking a picnic - there are plenty of picnic tables in the gardens, weather permitting. If you are in the area with children, a visit is highly recommended.

Absolutely adored taking my daughter here for the day. We did the Aquarium and Butterfly House while we were there. Was slightly chilly out otherwise we would have explored the gardens, which are beautiful. We also had a nice walk around the other free exhibits within the museum, which were great, educational, and fun. Book in advance.

Lovely day out at the Horniman Museum! There are lots of free things to visit. Beautiful park to walk around, with spectacular views of London! Food and drinks are pricey, but you are welcome to bring your own packed lunch, and there are plenty of places to sit and eat at. Highly recommend this museum for all the family!!
