Kids in Museums

We're signed up to the Kids in Museums manifesto, which means we strive to make everyone feel welcome to the museum.

What is the Kids in Museums Manifesto?

Our Manifesto is a set of simple guidelines for museums created with children, young people and families. It sets out what they feel makes a museum a great place to visit.

We created the first Manifesto in 2004 and have continued to develop it with feedback from children, young people and families on their experiences of visiting museums.

We launched the current version in March 2019. Thank you to all those who contributed to our survey and helped shape the Manifesto’s six points.

Today nearly 900 museums and heritage organisations have signed up in support of our Manifesto. You can sign up your organisation at the bottom of this page to show your commitment to following our guidelines and welcoming visitors of all ages.

Please be aware that for the safety of our visitors we have a 100% bag search policy. All bags, buggies and mobility scooters must be kept with you at all times.

The lighting within The Mary Rose is kept low to create a stunning atmosphere and display, as well as helping protect the delicate collection of artefacts within the gallery showcases.

The historic dockyard site and the museum itself are fully accessible to buggies and pushchairs, and the museum has baby changing facilities. Lifts are available to move along the visitor route.

The Mary Rose café offers a wide range of hot and cold drinks, as well as freshly made food. The café has highchairs available and staff will be happy to warm bottles for baby feeding. Nursing is permitted throughout the museum.

If you have any further questions about visiting The Mary Rose please do not hesitate to contact us.
