More About Kid's Zone at The National Army Museum:
This place is cool! Its all about discovery and the kids can go wild in a safe environment. Just ask at the information desk for a timed ticket and you'll get over an hour of free play time (10 minutes is for tidying up between sessions).

The castle fortress is a lot of fun. Kids can dress up in soldier's uniforms, scale the rock climbing wall, crawl through tunnels, and whiz down slides.

Children can sit inside the Reading Tree and quietly read books if they are not feeling so energetic. Or they can sit and draw at the designated art tables. There's a train set permanently set up and a kitchen play area for cooking army meals.

For the youngest visitors, there is a soft play area for babies so children can start attending at an early age.

Staff are always in attendance but please do supervise your own children.
