Attraction Information
Baltic has lots of great things for the whole family to discover. Situated right by the Millennium Bridge on the NewcastleGateshead quayside, it is free to enter and has a changing programme of exhibitions.
You can enjoy stunning views, a relaxed and informal cafe bar and the best shop around for unusual cards and gifts. Plus there's a fantastic open area called Quay where kids can get creative whilst you relax with a book or enjoy the in-house TV station. And because it's free, you can stay for as long or as short as you like!
They also offer lots of fun drop in activity sessions for children. You don't need to book in advance, just turn up on the day.
Free family tours every Saturday at 11:00 with a member of BALTIC Crew. A great way to help you find out more the exhibitions.
Explorer Packs: pick up a free pack any time from the Information Desk. Aimed at children aged 13 and under, they contain explorer equipment such as a magnifying glass and binoculars as well as a fun activity sheet.
Children under 13 are welcome to come along every Saturday and Sunday any time between 14:00 and 16:00 to join one of the popular drop-in activity sessions, and there's always something interesting and creative going on in the school holidays, from Halloween pumpkin carving to creating your own mini book for Mother's Day.
