What better way to spend a day in Easter eating hot cross buns where it originated? Yes, hot cross buns originated at St Alban's Cathedral! Unfortunately, we didn't have time to eat one when we visited the Cathedral as the cafe was so busy. The Cathedral was the home of the first British saint, St Albans and can see his shrine. The Cathedral also had a children's corner with dressing up costumes and arts and crafts. It is free to to visit too.
After lunch at a cute local cafe, we went to visit The Verulanium Museum which had an entry fee. The museum was well maintained and very child friendly with great exhibits for big and small! The kids thoroughly enjoyed looking at the artefacts and learning the history of St Albans. There was arts and crafts but you had to pay a small fee however, in the main hall, you can recreate your own mosaic for free. A great visit.
Right down the museum, there was a wildlife garden which was little but cute with a little pond and various habitats for insects!
The museum is conveniently located in the stunning Verulanium Park with its beautiful lakes! They had a splash park with a a very large play area! Plenty of space to bring your own games and run around too!
Overall, we had a great day and were blessed with great weather. A day well spent!
