Hollytrees Museum

Visit

In this vibrant museum, history is delivered with humour and fun in mind, making it an ideal venue for families. One room is dedicated to childhood and is like a large playroom, with snakes and ladders incorporated into the floor, a crawling tunnel, 'time out' area for toddlers, and exciting displays celebrating Colchesters famous nursery rhymes, Old King Cole and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
