United Kingdom
Four entirely different museums housed in separate buildings but easy walking distance apart. All four museums are suitable for children and each member of a family should find something of interest. The museums are : "Tutankhamum, The Exhibition" , "The Dinosaur Museum", "Terracotta Warriors Museum" and "The Teddy Bear Museum". Combined tickets for all four museums can be bought. A godsend if the weather is dreary. Unusual gifts and souvenirs for sale. Dorchester is well served with tea shops, pubs and restaurants ( I recommend "The Old Tea House" , 44 High Street West, 01305 263719 for scrumptious cream teas with home-made scones) so refreshments between museum visits are easy to find.
The museums are all situated in the centre of the town and Dorchester is a small town so it difficult to miss them. Tel: 01305 269571
Two railway stations about 10 minutes walk from town.
