At the Museum
A season of monthly sessions for toddlers and their families. Recommended for ages 18 months to three and a half years old.
Perfect for new experiences, meeting other families, and exploring the Museum together, Toddler Time is a three-month series of playful, creative sessions in the galleries designed to spark curiosity and imagination and support your toddler’s development.
Led by our expert Learning Team, sessions are inspired by the Ashmolean’s remarkable collections. Each session offers a welcoming space in the galleries where you and your toddler can play, explore, and create together through music, movement, making, and sensory activities.
Each month, you and your child can join in one session in the galleries, where you will:
- enjoy singing, rhymes, and storytelling
- embark on gallery adventures, discovering art and objects together
- gather creative ideas for playful learning at home and in other museums
You can choose between a Tuesday or Saturday session and either a morning or afternoon timeslot to suit your family's routine:
10.30–11.30am OR 2.30–3.30pm
The cost of a three-month Winter Season Tickets is £15.
