National Maritime Museum
The National Maritime Museum is a maritime museum in Greenwich, London. It is part of Royal Museums Greenwich, a network of museums in the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site.
There were plenty of interactive activities for the kids around the museum. Full of historic artifacts. The world map area on the 1st floor was also interesting with the Posideon giving out the Interesting facts about the places. The ship-steering stimulator was also great.
Overall a nice day out. Very informative visit and good way to spend time. Come here and have a look yourself. Would definitely recommend it!

The Queen’s House 👑
I went on a walk round University of Greenwich’s campus and stumbled upon the queens house ( free entry 🌟 ) and saw some beautiful art and decor.
One half of the rooms were marine based as Greenwich is quite famous for this and the other half was of the people whom used to live in these buildings.
The walk itself isn’t much away from the National maritime museum I would say less than a 5 minute walk, it is quite a lovely location to go to on a sunny or warm day as the place looks like it has air conditioning as well!

Voyage Through Time: National Maritime Museum
Wandered through the hallowed halls of the National Maritime Museum, where history sailed in every exhibit. The "Sea Legends" gallery unfolded tales of intrepid explorers, their stories echoing through ship models and celestial navigation tools. The Cutty Sark, a majestic clipper ship, stood frozen in time, inviting me to envision the adventures it once embraced. Amidst antique maps and maritime artifacts, I embarked on a virtual voyage through centuries of seafaring heritage. The museum, not just a repository of relics, but a portal where the echoes of maritime adventures whispered through the ages. #MaritimeChronicles #NauticalHeritage

National Maritime Museum
A very kid friendly, tactile display taking you through a fairly eclectic mix of maritime history. We were only having a quick look around (it's free) but sure you could spend half a day there going into more detail if you wish. The grounds it's set in are also stunning and the view up the hill to the observatory (a paid experience itself) back onto London are stunning.
