V&A Museum of Childhood review 2 Users say 3/5 Rate it
Home to one of the world's finest collections of children's toys, dolls' houses, games and costumes, the V&A Museum of Childhood shines bighter than ever after extensive refurbishment, which has given it an impressive entrance. Part of the V&A museum, the museum has been amassing childhood-related objects since 1872 and continues to do so, with 'Incredibles' figures complementing bonkers 1970s puppets, Barbie Dolls and Victorian praxinoscopes. There are regular exhibitions upstairs and the V&A Museum of Childhood has plenty of hands-on activities for kids and special events at weekends and during school holidays, while the café helps to revive flagging grown-ups.

Brilliant fun for 0-10 year olds (at least), with a surprising number of interesting little corners and interactive zones packed away in what looks like a single, big space. My only criticism is that the cafe is not as great for kids as you might (reasonably) expect.
it was ok something to do i guess but not for 12 year olds and above
This looks like a fun museum.. I am a teacher of 8-yar olds on the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. I have a "dog with a blog". I am coming to London this summer and looking for child friendly activities and places that I will profile on the blog.
