• Plenty to do for Children including our play boat, our steering boat and why not try out our new Ellis Eel trails for families!
• Displays of life on the Broads from marshmen, boatbuilders to holidaymakers and including life during the two World Wars.
• Sail back in time and watch Broads wildlife on board our Victorian steam boat, ‘Falcon‘. or 'Marsh Harrier' our Edwardian style launch, she is wheelchair accessible and with a roof, is weather proof! Marsh Harrier is an electric boat and her batteries are charged by electricity produced by the Museum’s own solar panels. She will operate on Sunday, Monday and Friday and on special events days. Should you require an accessible boat, please book seats on Marsh Harrier for those days.
