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.
