Horniman Museum
What is there for toddlers?
This is a great family friendly and free museum for childrens which is also great for toddlers. It’s a bit of the beaten track and is in South London in Forest Hill but is well worth a visit. There is a free aquarium and my little boy loved looking around this when he was around 20 months. They have really large gardens and fields where you can run around. There are animals including goats and rabbits which the children can pet. There’s a music room where the children could try out the different instruments from around the world which my son at 20 months loved. They have story telling sessions every Wednesday and Friday for the under 5s (see the website for more information). They also have different family activities and events on every day. Its worth checking out the website before you go to see what is going on that day.
Getting there
If you are coming from Central London you will need to get the train from London Bridge to Forest Hill Station. It’s signposted from the station and is about a ten minute walk.
Pushchair access
The museum is easy to navigate with a pushchair with lifts and plenty of space.
Toilets and baby changing
There are toilets and good baby changing facilities.
Food and drink
There is also a very reasonably priced cafe with a large selection of small meals and snacks. There were plenty of highchairs as well.
