If you´re looking for a brilliant day out in Preston let us point you in the right direction. We´re here to help you plan your family visit to our five fabulous museums.
Want to meet us?
Just scroll over us.
Visit my museum because...
...we know how to make history and art fun! After you´ve discovered the story of Preston and met our 10,000 year-old elk, check out our fun family activities.
Visit my museum because...
...no one knows more about the history of Lancashire! You´ll see what life was like for Victorian school children, take cover in a World War II air raid shelter and drive a Chieftain Tank.
Visit my museum because...
...you can learn how to take a penalty, pretend you´re a match commentator, and even find out how Pickles the dog saved the World Cup - all at the biggest football exhibition in the country!
Visit my museum because...
...it´s your chance to visit a real barracks where real soldiers live. In fact, you´ll meet one when you arrive. Then you´ll learn all about the Regiment and even try on a uniform!
Visit my museum because...
...not only will we give you a ride on a steam train, you can try your hand at brass rubbing, blow a train whistle and check out our collection of beautiful old locomotives.
