Young V&A

“Quiet open airy space, with exhibits big and small explaining the history of toys. We were met at the entrance by a staff member who showed us where to start & directions to the other facilities. Our toddler enjoyed the experiential play area for the smaller kids. A mix of sensory and tactile play spaces, that kept the little one busy & entertained. There was also a specific age 0-2 soft play space with minders making sure it was only for the very little ones. Staff are friendly and helpful. Toilets great and have smaller size loos for the young ones. Ramp & lift available, so stroller/buggy friendly. Cafe menu wasn’t all that, more variety will be great. Overall worth seeing & entry is free.”

“I haven't been here for about 20 years when it was under a different name and was pleased to see it hadn't lost any of its appeal to children and adults. A lovely bright and welcoming environment with friendly helpful staff. There's a large variety of displays on different floors, showing toys and equipment that l remember playing with when l was a child and my own children. Lots of interactive areas and plenty of space for children of all ages to explore, play, relax and have loads of fun. The food area was well laid out with a variety of hot and cold meals to suit all tastes and reasonably priced. A really nice museum where children will not be bored.”

“I visited with my children and we really enjoyed it. There are plenty of interesting things that also capture the attention of adults. The atmosphere and the exhibits are fascinating and very engaging. It was smaller than I expected, and we were able to explore everything in about an hour. Overall, it’s a lovely place to visit with kids.”

“There are various activities for children aged 1-8. While you enjoy your tea in the central area, the children can play in the playgrounds. It's very suitable for parents with babies. There were lots of strollers at the entrance. There are also diaper changing areas and lockers here.”
