This Easter holiday, the National Railway Museum is hosting two weeks of fun for all the family from treasure hunts to make your own Flying Scotsman.
From 24 March, the museum will be kicking off the half term fun with our new ‘Treasure Hunters’ interactive app. Visitors can challenge their family and friends to explore the museum displays from a fresh perspective in this fun interactive game.The Science Museum Group has teamed up with Aardman Interactive, creators of Wallace & Gromit, Shaun the Sheep, and new movie Early Man, to develop a new free interactive smartphone app.
Families can get crafty and learn about how a steam engine works by making their own Flying Scotsman model (30 March- 8 April), book online to guarantee a place. If that wasn’t enough to channel your inner engineer, families can also take a seat and watch one of our amazing and interactive science shows or listen to the story of early railway inventors in our new Stephenson’s Rocket workshop.
Don’t miss the chance to travel through our South Yard experiencing what it’s really like to ride behind a working steam locomotive as steam rides return for the Easter holidays.
Whether you’re taking a selfie with Mallard, wanting to cast your eyes on Queen Victoria’s very own carriage or even take a trip on the road train, the National Railway Museum has something for everyone.
