As part of our commitment to welcoming families we offer a flexible family ticket which can be used for 2 adults or senior citizens and 2 or 3 children offering a saving of up to £8, see here for further details about our prices.

What’s more, once you have paid to come in, your ticket is valid for a further 12 months (apart from Premier Event Days and Starlight Halloween) we believe that this offers fantastic value for money for families looking for a day out in Derbyshire.

Facilities

Rita's Tearooms offers a variety of children’s meals and the Red Lion serves meals and snacks during the school holidays and busy event days and both have highchairs available. There are baby changing facilities in the Red Lion and Assembly Room toilets. We also have two large picnic areas, one on the outdoor play area and one situated along the Woodland Walk offering amazing views over the Derwent Valley.

We are an accessible Museum with smooth pathways through the granite setts suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs and lifts or ramps to all visitor facilities. Click here to see our Access Statement. You can even bring your dog along with you provided that they are kept on a lead at all times.

Things To Do

Children can let off steam in the Discovery Depot – a huge indoor play area with a soft ‘tram’ climbing frame and ball pit and separate soft play area suitable for toddlers, there are plenty of chairs where parents can have a break and lots of room for pushchairs. There is also an outdoor play area for older children.

They are suitable for 3 – 8 year olds and are available from reception.
