Connecting Cambridge Family Day
Saturday 20th April, 2024
10.00am - 4.00pm
Join us for a day of free activities for all the family! There’ll be hands-on play and crafts including building a mini museum, making your own objects and more. There’s no need to book, just drop-in on the day and get involved.
Would you like to know how to escape the underworld, to come back to life or even how to become a god? In Spring the world comes back to life, so join us to explore stories of resurrection and rebirth at our relaxed afternoon of holiday activities. Dive into the ancient world with miraculous myths from ancient Greece and Rome, get arty by re-enacting the most shocking stories with paper puppets you can take home with you, or welcome the Spring with some flowery crafting.
This will be a completely free, drop-in event so there’s no need to book.

The Whipple Museum is full of scientific models of different kinds. Use objects from our handling collection to explore a moving model of the solar system, find out how a chimpanzee can help you with your times tables and create your own molecular models (accurate or otherwise)! Use our anatomical models to find out where your bones and organs are and how some of them work.

Clare, our dinosaur who lives by the Museum steps, has travelled in time through our galleries, laying an egg in each of the display cases that she visited. Can you find them all and answer Clare's questions to win a prize?
