Dive Into History, Soak Up the Fun – In August, Kids Go FREE at Buxton Crescent Experience
This August, treat the family to a fun and affordable day out at the Buxton Crescent Experience, where Kids Go FREE all month long – making this the perfect time to explore one of Derbyshire’s most captivating attractions.
In a town whose history is shaped by water, Buxton Crescent Experience is a boutique attraction that reveals the story of a special spa town, the renowned water and recent restoration of the Crescent building.
For centuries Buxton has been a place where people have sought the water cure and within this Grade I listed building you will encounter visitors from a period spanning more than 10,000 years who have travelled to the town to drink and bathe in our thermal mineral water. And now, with up to three under-16s going free with every full-paying adult, there’s no better time to experience it for yourself.
A Unique Attraction in a Town Shaped by Water
The Buxton Crescent Experience isn’t your typical museum. It’s an immersive journey through time, packed with storytelling, interactive exhibits, and fun facts about Buxton’s spa-town legacy. From ancient times to Georgian grandeur, and right through to the stunning restoration of the Crescent, every corner is brimming with tales waiting to be discovered.
And yes – it’s all inside – so no need to worry about the great British weather!
Kids Will Love the Virtual Reality Hot Air Balloon Ride
One of the highlights? A virtual reality hot air balloon ride that lifts you up and over Buxton as it looked in 1792! Soar through the skies and experience history like never before – a favourite with both kids and grown-ups.
