Family Friendly Facilities: Families visiting Bletchley Park can expect an exciting, fun-filled day, exploring the museums and discovering all about the secretive codebreakers that worked here during World War Two. On arrival, pick up one of our family trails which will guide you to our ‘must-see’ highlights whilst providing you with activities and fun facts for all the family to enjoy. Later, let off steam in the children’s playground next to Hut 4 or admire the view of the Mansion across the lake. Keep an eye on our what’s on page to find out about upcoming events for families including free workshops for children during the school holidays and larger special events throughout the year. With so much to see and do, we think you’ll need more than just one day to visit us which is why your admission ticket offers unlimited free returns for a year.
