This museum is in Hendon and quite easy to get to especially with 4 overexcited children of different ages. We went with Lucky's and Mahi's best friends. We decided to go there as we heard great things about this museum.
During the summer, which was when we went, they also held a special escape room kind of event but across the museum instead of being in a room. But before we started that, we visited the museum which had lots of interactive games and plenty of planes to climb aboard. We also enjoyed the inspiring stories we saw across the museum and what it means to be in the army.
Once it was our time to start our escape room game, we headed to a tent were there was a dress up corner, games from older times and other interesting objects. Once we started the game, it was a huge trail across the museum. We were put into teams so it was a competition and our scores were monitored through an app on the phone. We didn't fully appreciate the size of the museum until we were doing the trail. It was a great way to see the kids working as a team, solving problems. There ws a lot of running as we were against a timer. But in that amount of time, we mounted an actual spitfire! We couldn't finish all the tasks but we earned some bonus point through some special tasks. We didn't win unfortunately but all the kids enjoyed the activities.
The museum had a few cafes and a very unusually designed playground. There was a lot of ground to run around too!
The kids couldn't stop talking about their day on our way back!
