...for lovers of Pirates. Pirate exhibition at Docklands museum is worth a trip (you have to pay, but not for the rest of museum).

What's the best way to get there?

Visited this today with two of my children (4.5 yrs and 18 mths) and thoroughly, thoroughly recommend the museum, inc the pirate exhibition. We went by train and river bus (via London Bridge to canary wharf) to make it even more of an experience and took just over an hour from ED. Came back via tube and train (less than an hour).

The museum was fantastic - spent 4 hours there and loads to do for children of all ages, even under 2s. You pay to get into the pirate exhibition (?7 for adults) but under 5s go free but entry to the rest of the museum including an excellent children's interactive/activity room (with soft play corner for toddlers) are all free (you need to book in for this though when you arrive). There are also daily activities/workshops throughout the summer with a pirate theme and today the lady who does the Horniman storytime was there telling pirate tales. I have to say I think it is a real bargain for what you get and really interesting from a grown up point of view too. Dont miss the main museum exhibitions.

Great little cafe with books and crayons.
