Chelmsford Museum

Great museum of local history. Children play area. Free entry and free parking on the weekend.

Must visit place.We were pleasantly impressed & well informed about the long history of Chelmsford.Definitely a fine display . The comparison of old & new pictures of the same buildings & how they have preserved those is amazing. It has a beautiful garden & a playground for children as well.

Very long entrance but very nice green space to bring your dogs🏞️✨ The museum itself has many rooms to go into and lots of interesting facts and things to look at. A few interactive things like telephones that have pre recorded messages that explain things about the room you’re in. They also have a dress up room (great for kids to muck around in). There is also a warm café on the ground floor with kind smiling staff!!🤗. Nice day out💖✨

The museum is generally a great place to take kids as they can explore, there is parking and the play parks on site are great. It was disappointing that the museum was encouraging our young children to celebrate Halloween through the activities available. It would have been much more inclusive and appropriate to promote autumn-themed activities rather than promoting the celebration of evil and attempting to scare others.

Entrance to the museum is for free. We was with our almost 6y daughter. Was fantastic. Lovely park for walk. Very clean and spotless place.
