Canterbury Museum


The kids and I visited Canterbury museum today - we'd been there before and as we have a 'residents card' the entrance is free. To be honest I really don't like taking the kids into Canterbury - it's too busy and the shops full of expensive tat, but I had to go in for a meeting, so it was the ideal oppourtunity for us to visit the museum.


The first part of the museum is about some of the history of Canterbury, the kids covered this in 2 seconds flat, they were slighly more interested in the war stuff - maybe 3 seconds, slowed down by the time we got to Bagpuss - 5 seconds, and finally reached thier prefered destination - Rupert Bear.

There is lots to do in the museum for kids, especially at the Rupert Bear bit. Games, puzzles, pictures, exhibits, you can watch the frog chorus on repeat! or try origami!


There were not many visitors at the museum - which was good for us as there was plenty of space and I wasn't worried about ther kids annoying anyone - but a shame if this resouse is underused....so start spreading the word as there are not many free activities for kids!
