Get hands-on at Mudlarks Family Gallery – an interactive play area for under-8s. Mudlarks brings the docks to life through interactive play, which keeps little ones occupied and stimulates their development.

Drive a DLR train in the soft play area, move ships along the docks on the water table and help the workers move their cargo using wheelbarrows. There’s plenty for kids to get hands-on with.
