National Waterways Museum Gloucester

Premium

Set in a towering Victorian grain warehouse at the heart of Gloucester Docks, the National Waterways Museum tells the 200-year story of Britain's canals and the people who worked them. Kids love the hands-on galleries, the historic boats moored on two quaysides and the chance to work a model lock. Seasonal trails, craft workshops and Santa story sessions make it a brilliant rainy-day option, and the Quays shops and restaurants are on the doorstep.
