Family Trail

Our family trails invite all budding young detectives to pick up a case file and undercover the story of policing on Bow Street. Follow the clues, complete the puzzles and investigate why Bow Street Police Station is one of the most famous in the world.

We offer trails suitable for different ages, Under 5’s, 5-7 years, and 7 – 11 years. All trails can also be used by adults to help engage younger visitors with the objects and stories on display.

On arrival please speak to a member of the team who would be happy to provide you with a FREE trail for each child.
