Let’s be honest, keeping the family entertained all day is like a military operation. And what better place to do so than at the National Army Museum?
With free entry to all galleries and temporary exhibitions, you’ll be able to explore the story of the Army through time – and encounter fascinating objects, surprising stories and interactive fun. If you’re ready to join our mission of discovery, we have 10 things to do during your visit that are guaranteed to keep everyone engaged.
Perfect your army crawl and get a view of our Dingo Scout Car from down under.
Do you have the parade-ground discipline to be a soldier? See if you can impress our virtual drill sergeant.
Drums were used to communicate orders on noisy battlefields. See if you can beat the right command on our battle drum.
Join one of our drop-ins, based around the theme of survival, to learn how soldiers pull through even in the most extreme environments.
