Family Friendly - Ironbridge Gorge Museums, Shropshire
With a varied events calendar, a host of fun drop-in workshops and a diverse and wide-ranging collection of Museums, The Ironbridge Gorge Museums is an ideal family day out. Whether you are interested in fine china, decorative tiles, fun interactives or a 'Victorian' recreated town, it's all to be found in this stunning World Heritage Site.
Step back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town and chat to the Victorians in their homes, shops and places of work. Marvel at magnificent china displayed in the very buildings in which it was made and see craftspeople at work at Coalport China Museum. Walk through the gas lit galleries and period room settings adorned with magnificent tiles at Jackfield Tile Museum. Let your imagination go wild at Enginuity, as you become a design engineer, able to play with huge interactive exhibits. X-ray everyday objects, control a 'river' to generate electricity and compete against a robot. Finally cross the world's first iron bridge and imagine what the area was like during the Industrial Revolution.
