  • Kids go free and there are free family trails too.
  • Good downloadable activities on the website.
  • You can keep the buggy with you as there’s a lift to access all floors.
  • I’m not a big fan of the theatrical interpretations in the Palace but do engage with the actors and you’ll find out more about the Palace and its residents.
  • They have tried hard to make it family-friendly and there are activities throughout the Palace.
