Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery
An award-winning museum in Carlisle's historic heart, perfectly opposite Carlisle Castle. Packed with interactive exhibitions spanning Romans, Vikings, railways and wildlife, it's brilliantly designed to bring history alive for kids with games, dressing-up opportunities and hands-on activities.
What parents say
Families love the interactive, hands-on approach that makes history engaging rather than boring. Highlights include climbing Hadrian's Wall replicas, dressing up in Roman gear, building walls using ancient methods, and exploring a life-sized badger sett with spy holes. Drop-in arts and crafts sessions run during school holidays, and the annual pass (£10 adults, free under-18s) offers incredible value for unlimited visits.
