Family Fun

Amersham Museum is one of a number of ‘Family Friendly’ museums in the Thames Valley area which are providing lots of fun and things to do for children, parents and grandparents.

A recent comment about a visit: “Hello and many thanks – my daughter and her friend had a wonderful afternoon at your very interesting museum. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The children’s activiites were also very good. As we left the museum, both the girls, unprompted, said “thanks that was wonderful”. I think they especially enjoyed dressing up in the Tudor costumes.  Thanks again and we will certainly be paying you a visit again in the future.”
