Great option for inquisitive children
A great option for a rainy day, or as a trip to have up your sleeve if Plan A has misfired. As long as your child's not too queasy about seeing hundreds of stuffed animals then this museum is sure to enthrall them for a decent chunk of time - you can have lots of fun trying to name all the various species, racing to find particular creatures and playing 'eye spy' etc. There's also a cute little cafe just across the road at Hove Park which rounds off the outing quite nicely!
