Beach Babies

On selected Wednesdays and Fridays in January, our summer interactive exhibition The Beach opens early exclusively for babies aged 0–24 months and their parents and carers.

Enjoy a calm, immersive start to the day with shimmering large-scale light projections, soft sand-free play structures and gentle instrumental music designed for young senses.

Parents and carers can relax with a drink from Ripples Café while their little ones explore a range of beach-inspired sensory play experiences, including bubbles, balance stones, inflatables, musical instruments, interactive rock pool animations, intertidal animal puppets and beach-themed stories. Vintage swimwear and surf culture displays sit alongside the play space, offering adults something to enjoy too.

Wednesdays and Fridays 7-23 January
