Keep little ones entertained at the dock this half-term
With half term just around the corner, we’ve got a whole variety of activities on offer to keep kids entertained at the dock. From family dining and exciting exhibitions, to free fire shows and creative workshops, there’s something for the whole family to enjoy.
Maritime Museum
There’s no shortage of suggestions for those looking to get their culture fix, with the dock’s onsite Maritime Museum providing just the place to do that. Taking place on 14th February, enjoy their interactive ‘Music for the Classes’ event to learn all about Wallace Hartley, a violinist on board the RMS Titanic, and see if you can identify what music passengers would have been listening to during the period the ship sailed.
14 February and 11 April with performances at 11.30am, 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm.
Drop-in activity, no need to book.
Tate Liverpool
Is your little one a budding artist? If so, head to Tate Liverpool for their daily Explore and Draw event, which offers children a sketchbook full of art activities to have fun exploring the galleries. With different drawing challenges to complete as they discover exciting artworks on display, this is a great activity to keep creative children entertained, with the Tate’s family space the perfect spot to play, relax or read a book.
Daily from 10am-17.50pm
Fiesta of Fire
Family dining
Families looking to dine at the dock are spoilt for choice with the array of restaurants and cafes on offer, from wood-fired pizzas and freshly made pasta, to succulent burgers and tasty Thai food, there’s something for the whole family to tuck into. To add an extra element of fun to the family meal, children at Gusto can create their own pizzas with their chosen choice of toppings, before handing it over to the chef to cook for them in the kitchen, guaranteed to leave a smile on their faces.
Beatles Story
Experience the biggest Beatles Exhibition in the world and learn all about how the four lads from Liverpool were propelled to dizzying heights of fame! There’s a replica Cavern, a fab shop, the Fab Four Café, plus a Discovery Zone offering a family friendly space where children can dress up in outfits from the 60s, have a go at karaoke with their favourite Beatles song and do their own pop art.
