Top 10 Best Museum Days Out this Summer

The team compiled information on some of the UK’s most popular museums, and scored them out of a possible 100 to find out which could offer the best days out for older people across the UK. In instances where venues received a similar score, they were then ranked on value for money.

Key criteria that was scored includes cost of admission for kids and adults, Cost of Parking, the number of onsite cafes and/or restaurants and average time it takes to tour the entire venue.

As the UK begins to open up and the summer holidays set in, families across the UK are keen to find some exciting events to enjoy and with so many top tier collections and interactive exhibitions on offer, museums are a fantastic and affordable way to keep kids active and entertained this summer.

Reflecting on the results Dawn Collett, Commissioning Director at New Care Homes hopes the results will serve as a useful resource to help people get out and explore this summer.

‘If the last 18 months have taught us anything, it’s that getting out and about is really important for our physical and mental health. Museums are an absolutely fantastic way to help us stay active and engaged, especially in the post-lockdown landscape.

They offer such a wide variety of exciting events and exhibitions, and you’d be surprised just how many miles you can cover in one visit!

We hope this list will be a great starting point for anyone who is looking for something to do or somewhere to explore this summer and beyond.’
