Family Fun at the London Canal Museum! August 5th, 12th, 19th

Join London Canal Museum for a very special fishy canal adventure during the Summer holiday programme. Can you see any fish in the canal? Or are they hiding deep in the water? After a boat trip along the Regent's Canal, join in the fun craft activities all themed around fish (Tuesdays 5th, 12 , 19th August).

RIBA Partner Day 26 August

RIBA will be joining us at the museum to help you create your very own boat to float upon the canal. What design will inspire you? What will you call your boat? 

What's included?

A ride on the "Long Tom" canal boat that takes you from the museum to St. Pancras Lock and back again lasting approximately 30mins. Children will receive a wildlife spotter’s bag on the boat to inspire them to look closely for wildlife and help them identify what they may see. Then off to the museum to complete the fun with an interactive family trail around the exhibitions, including the brand new ice cream role play parlour! Who will earn their sticker for completing the trail? There's a fishy-themed craft workshop led by museum facilitators - and Floaty Boaty on August 25th!
