About Tate Britain
Tate Britain is like the cooler, quieter cousin of Tate Modern – full of British art from across the centuries, but with fewer crowds and more chilled-out vibes. From Turner’s stormy seascapes to the vivid world of the Pre-Raphaelites, there’s something to stop everyone in their tracks (even the teens). Family trails, sketchbooks and drop-in creative spaces make it super welcoming for younger visitors, and wide, open galleries mean plenty of room for buggies, wriggly toddlers or art-loving grandparents. Entry’s free, the café’s lovely, and you can even arrive by riverboat. It’s a low-stress, high-culture day out, and you don’t need to be an art expert to enjoy it.
Top tip from the KidRated Team:
Arrive around lunchtime – pick up a sketch trail from the Info Desk, enjoy the café, then head to the 2:30pm drop-in art workshop.
Genuinely great for kids! Free family sketchbooks and trails help them explore with purpose, and daily “Pick Up & Play” workshops let them make art, not just look at it.
Yes, every day at around 2:30pm there’s a creative drop-in family workshop. During school holidays, there are also short guided family tours with fun, multi-sensory activities.
Turner’s gallery – huge, dramatic paintings full of storms, ships and swirling skies. Even kids stop and stare.
Not at all, it’s totally free to enter. You only pay for special exhibitions or food in the café.
Yes, it’s a safe, calm space and teens can enjoy the art at their own pace. Staff are super friendly and helpful too.
Perfect. Warm, dry, quiet and full of colour and imagination. A brilliant cultural shelter from the storm.
Yes – fully accessible with wide galleries, lifts, step-free routes and welcoming staff throughout.
There’s a relaxed café inside with cakes, light lunches and kids’ portions. Or picnic outside on the lawn if the sun’s out.
Definitely. Clean, modern and with baby-changing facilities – no holding it in here!
Pimlico is the nearest tube, or hop on the Uber Boat to Millbank Pier and arrive like arty royalty.

Tate modern Henry Moore exhibition review This exhibition was very informative and clearly laid out. There were lots of clear information posters corresponding with the works of art which I thought were appropriately set out. There was plenty background information as well which I thought gave a good sense to the exhibition of Henry Moore’s works. This was good because you knew what had inspired most of the artworks and when they were made and what they were made out of. There also was a good movie that I thought showed how he made his sculptures that I liked a lot. I think that the lighting was at a good level although there could have been more light above the information panels. Also, the signs directing you around the museum where very confusing and did not hold enough information to go by, we got lost several times.
