| Best ages | Most suit about 5-12; free places suit short visits with younger children |
| If it rains | Mostly indoors: wet days tend to be busiest |
| Money saver | Many are free, so budget for parking and food only; go for 2 hours, not all day. |
| Top tips | Museum in an old custom house on St George's Quay about the port and Morecambe Bay. |
