Exhibitions provide a fun environment for kids (and adults) to learn. Lots of schools take trips to various museums with special exhibitions running that fit with a particular topic being studied in school. It’s a way to add excitement to school subjects, inspire projects and boost those brain cells. Children will be amazed, dazzled and educated whilst enjoying a day out with the family. Most exhibitions are also a joy for parents too and you could learn something new as well.

This year there are plenty of great family exhibitions to visit, a mix of FREE and family-friendly exhibitions across the country for all ages. You will find plenty to do and spend many hours escaping into a world of science, maths, sports, fashion, history, art and so much more. See below for our selection of the best exhibitions to visit with the family this year.
