Horniman Museum And Gardens

Unique and wonder-full culture bites from around the world. Small collection of so much to see!! Nicely surprised by everything at Horniman - the gardens, the musical playground and the butterfly enclosure.

On a rainy english summers day was the perfect kid friendly museum! Really really enjoyed it. The dinosaur exhibition was worth every penny, lots of interactive and fun activities for the kids and adults like dress up , reading corners, colouring in, animated models too. The aquarium was also super interesting show lots of different habitats. Many really well thought out kids touches like steps doe the kids in the aquarium to get the most out of viewing the tanks. Kids height handrails too. The butterfly house was also superb with knowledgeable staff and lots to do. The gardens also superb. The music room was actually so interesting listening to every instrument. Could spend days here the whole Museum is splendid, the staff friendly and helpful and the gardens stunning. Only alight gripe food options very limited and no sheltered seating as outside so even big canopy patio umbrellas wasn’t really protective with the weather

Woow what a nice family day out. I’m not sure why this place is not advertised everywhere. My 4 year old had such a great time. It’s not a massive museum but just enough to enjoy. The garden is gorgeous and every Sunday they have a market with amazing street food and hand crafted items. If you are planning to go I would highly recommend to take a blanket and have a picnic there. We didn’t visit the aquarium or the dinosaur place (you need a ticket) I heard the aquarium is great!
