Event:Easter Trail: National Museum Cardiff

National Museum Cardiff

Join us this Easter for a fun-filled adventure at National Museum Cardiff!

 
Our annual Easter trail is perfect for families and little explorers alike. How well do you know your way around the magnificent dinosaurs, woolly mammoths and paintings at National Museum Cardiff?  You will need to solve riddles and uncover clues, before embarking on a hunt to find the brightly coloured Easter eggs hidden around the Museum.
 
How it works:
  • Pick up your trail sheet at the entrance 
  • Solve the clues to find the Easter eggs hidden across the museum
  • Each egg has a unique and colourful pattern for you to copy onto your trail sheet
  • Complete the trail and enjoy your sweet reward! *
 
* The prize will be a chocolate lollipop. A dairy-free & vegan alternative is available on request – please select this preference at the time of booking.
