Choose a museum opening day and book the appropriate ticket. Plan lunch between the indoor visit and a manageable street walk.
Local collections and a separate children’s gallery / AYLESBURY
Discover Bucks Museum, Aylesbury
Use Discover Bucks as the main indoor visit in Aylesbury, choosing the local collections, changing exhibitions or a family ticket that includes the Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery. The historic buildings and objects give context to Buckinghamshire beyond the town streets. Leave time to follow the subjects that interest you rather than trying to finish every room.
Before you go
The Children’s Gallery has its own opening pattern and ticket option. It is here in Aylesbury, not the separate Roald Dahl museum in Great Missenden.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Church Street, Aylesbury HP20 2QP
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Book the appropriate museum or combined-gallery ticket for each visit. Current ordinary museum opening is Wednesday to Sunday, with holiday and seasonal changes; the Children’s Gallery has narrower hours. Events and some exhibitions may cost extra.
- Access and getting around
- The museum describes ground-floor access and a lift to upper galleries, with accessible toilets and baby changing. The Children’s Gallery is across the courtyard in a separate building; ask about the route and support that suit your visit.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Choose the ticket and date around whether the Children’s Gallery is the main reason for coming. It normally opens at weekends and in Buckinghamshire school holidays; the museum alone is a different experience.
