The Hidden Wonders Hunt - Kids in Museums
🪐 Go on a Cosmic Adventure with the Kids in Museums, Hidden Wonders Hunt! 🌌 Free half term activity for children aged 4+ and their families
This October half term, we’re inviting young explorers and their grown-ups to join us at the National Civil War Centre for a journey of discovery that’s out of this world!
We’re proud to be one of over 60 museums across the UK taking part in the Hidden Wonders Hunt, a free museum trail created in partnership with Walker Books to celebrate the release of The Search for our Cosmic Neighbours by bestselling author-illustrator Chloe Savage.
🖼️ What’s it all about?
The Hidden Wonders books are packed with scientific curiosity and the thrill of the unknown — because science is magic, after all! During your visit, you’ll spot stunning illustrations from the books tucked away in our museum displays. Find them all to uncover a hidden word and earn a free sticker to mark your mission complete.
🚀 Design Challenge
Every explorer needs a trusty vehicle! As part of the fun, children can enter our design competition by creating their own spaceship or deep-sea exploration craft. One lucky winner will receive a signed Hidden Wonders book bundle and a Double National Art Pass Plus Kids, kindly donated by Art Fund.
Whether your little ones dream of space travel or love solving mysteries, the Hidden Wonders Hunt is a brilliant way to spark imagination and celebrate the joy of discovery.
📅 Drop in during half term and start your adventure!
