4 . Children love boats and our Canal Museum is a great place to bring them what will be both interesting and educational. They will love exploring the narrow boat cabin, and they will love the horse!
Children’s summer activities
On most Wednesdays, we offer special fun-filled days of activities for children. See the Watery Wednesdays page for more details!
Age and suitability
We recommend the museum for children aged six and over. Younger children are welcome but are probably not old enough to enjoy museum visits. Children under 14 years must visit accompanied by an adult.
The activity zone
The activity zone is a small area on the ground floor for our youngest visitors. There they can build a bridge, using the materials provided, and there is a whiteboard with magnetic letters and canal related images to be used to create artistic effects! There are children’s books, and things to colour in. Cut-out model boats to make are available free from reception.
Supervision (监管)
Parents and other adults in charge of children should remember that they are responsible for supervision at all times. Children should not be allowed to tour the building unaccompanied.
Henrietta’s trail
Henrietta’s trail is the most excellent journey around the museum led by Henrietta, the museum’s horse. In various places around the building you will see the image of Henrietta. There are free trail sheets available at reception. It is a journey of discovery — a fun way to explore the exhibitions and learn something at the same time.

5 . Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean. Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy. They liked doing different things. Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball, football, and any other sport imaginable. Jack loved to draw, paint, or build sandcastles (沙堡).
Frank didn't understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball. He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together. That was when Jack's idea hatched. He would show Frank what doing things together looked like!
After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs, towers and walls, he took pictures of it. Then he painted colorful posters featuring (突出) his sandcastle and the question, "Can you top this?" He hung his posters everywhere in town, announcing his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry — all ages welcome.
When Frank saw posters, he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come. Still, shortly after sunrise on Saturday, Jack was on the beach digging in the sand. By mid-morning, four kids were sculpting (雕塑) the sand alongside him. By noon, the number had increased a lot.
After Frank came back from his ball game, he went to check how his brother's plan turned out. He couldn't believe what he saw. At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach.
"I guess you've proved me wrong," Frank said. "You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!" Handing Frank a shovel (铲子) with a smile, Jack got started together with his brother on their super creation in the sand.
