Join us for an animaltastic day out for the family.

From platypuses to hippopotami, discover the weird and wonderful world of animals with activities for all ages. 

Did you know a group of platypuses is called a Paddle or a Cuddle? 

On this day, you can find the following activities at the museum between 10am-3pm:

-    Design a silly animal at our craft activity stations
-    Facepainting (subject to availability)
-    Animal trail 

This activity day is kindly sponsored by the Grammar School at Leeds.

Please note, this can be the busiest day of our school holidays.
