About National Army Museum
National Army Museum is a place where both you and the kids can spend hours without getting bored. Explore the themed galleries to discover the history of the British Army, from the British Civil Wars to the present day.
But hey, don’t just look, get involved, too! Kids love the interactive exhibits, especially dressing up in the iconic red uniform of the guardsmen.
If coming up-close with real uniforms and weapons wasn’t enough to get the little ones excited, there are lots more activities to enjoy. Little soldiers can have a go at marching, driving a tank, creative workshops and more. National Army Museum truly offers a great modern experience for the whole family.
Visiting with children under 8? Unleash your brave little ones in Play Base where they’ll be able to take on a soft play assault course, hop onto a truck and prepare food for the whole squad. Play Base is a paid extra, but it’s worth it!
