University Museum Series
New this Summer!
Our University Museum Series is brand new for 2026!
We have collaborated with four participating museums in Cambridge City Centre to provide children with engaging and exciting opportunities for discovery and adventure. Each day is thoughtfully planned and led by our experienced staff and playworkers, alongside interactive sessions delivered by expert museum educators.
Children will enjoy a wide range of activities, exploration and the chance to learn about fascinating topics such as Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, Evolution, The Age of the Dinosaurs, Shackleton’s remarkable journey across Antarctica and many more!
This series is designed for children who are curious about history, enjoy discovery and are excited to learn more about the world around them.
