If you missed out on Museums at Night then why not grab the popcorn, build a fort and put on a film for a movie night? We’ve pulled together some children’s sci-fi and action films that will still make you feel like you could be exploring the mysterious of a museum or the stars. We’ve broken it down to films suitable for all ages but that the youngest kids will enjoy most and then those more likely to entertain the teenagers. (Don’t forget to check back for information on the next Museums at Night in October).
