Merseyside Maritime Museum
A great rainy-day museum in Liverpool City Region

The museum is well-suited for children aged 3–12, with special family trails and activity backpacks available. Highlights include the 'Titanic and Liverpool: The Untold Story' exhibition, 'Seized! The Border and Customs Uncovered', and the 1860 steamship 'SS Great Britain' (accessible via a short walk). Facilities: spacious buggy parking, baby-changing rooms, a café with kids' meals, and a gift shop. Practical tips: entry is free (donations welcome), but some temporary exhibitions may have a charge.
