Museums in Hull
There's only one museum on the listings for Hull right now, but it's a good one to know about. The Streetlife Museum, about two miles from the centre, is free to get into and brings together vintage trams and a recreated 1940s high street, the sort of thing that fills a rainy afternoon without costing anything. It works well for a mix of ages, since there's enough to look at up close for younger children and enough detail in the old shopfronts to hold older kids' attention too. Being indoors, it's a solid choice when the weather's against you, and with baby change, an accessible toilet and a gift shop on site, it's easy enough to manage with a pushchair or a family in tow.
