If you’re looking for a day out that will entertain and delight the whole family, Milton Keynes Museum is the perfect destination! This interactive museum brings history to life through captivating stories, brilliant recreations, and hands-on exhibits that will keep everyone engaged.
Step back in time and explore the history of Milton Keynes before it became a New Town in the 1970s. Begin your journey by discovering what the area was like during the prehistoric era, then take a step into the past as you explore a Victorian farmhouse. Here, you can play old-fashioned musical instruments and even try your hand at toasting bread in front of a real fire in the kitchen.
Often recommended as one of the best family days out in Milton Keynes, the museum is set within old farmland just outside Wolverton. We pride ourselves on being a hands-on, interactive experience for all ages. We also have a small outside play area to keep the little ones happy whatever the weather and a tearoom serving delicious homemade cakes and light lunches.
Unlike many other museums, MK Museum has vast open green space for kids to run around in. Throughout the year we host many events in the museum grounds from Easter egg hunts to History Festivals, 1940s Weekends to family fun days.
We tell the story of MK before the New Town was built in the 1970s. Explore the old Victorian farmhouse and play old fashioned musical instruments before making toast in front of the real fire in the kitchen.
New for 2025! Meet Iggy the Ichthyosaur in the New Ancient Gallery. Iggy is MK's oldest resident - he's over 180 million years old! The sea creature reminds us of a time when the MK area was submerged beneath ancient sea.
