About
Join us at the Natural History Museum for a hands-on Mini Museum Explorers session all about hibernation. Designed for children aged 2½–5 and their carers, this interactive experience explores how animals prepare for winter and why some creatures sleep for months at a time. Through stories, crafts, counting activities and den building, little explorers will discover the wonders of the natural world in a fun and engaging way. KS1 home educators are welcome at the later session.
