Holidaying with your kids is amongst the most joyous experiences you can have in life. Whether it\u2019s a day away or a two-week break in one of our family cottages<\/a>, the joy that can be had from getting the whole family away from daily stresses and into a fun, friendly and active environment is unmatched.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re based in Lyme Regis <\/a>and, when it comes to family holidays, we like to think that we\u2019re perfectly located. Superbly positioned on Dorset\u2019s Jurassic Coast and with oodles of classic British seaside charm, Lyme Regis has been a popular holiday destination for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n

But whilst the weather might be glorious at present, we all know how the British weather can be. As such, long, lazy days at the beach aren\u2019t always the most realistic prospect. Thankfully though, there\u2019s much more to Lyme Regis than its internationally recognised beaches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In fact, for those with an interest in expanding their intellectual horizons (in a very fun way, we should add), Lyme Regis offers a host of amazing indoor experiences that shouldn\u2019t be missed. We speak, of course, about Lyme Regis\u2019 museums.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you can expect to find in and around town:<\/p>\n

Lyme Regis Museum <\/strong><\/p>\n

Fresh from its expansion last year, Lyme Regis Museum<\/a> is bigger and better than ever before. Standing in the heart of the town, the museum was built on the site of Mary Anning\u2019s home \u2013 a vital figure in the history of both palaeontology and geology, as she found discovered and catalogued many of the early fossil finds.<\/p>\n

Today, her legacy is remembered in the museum which features everything from the incredible fossils she unearthed to information about early Lyme Regis, Lyme\u2019s literary links to Jane Austen and John Fowles and much, much more.<\/p>\n

Sir David Attenborough himself described it as nothing less than a \u201cdelightful and remarkable museum, a jewel\u201d, and who are we to argue? Best of all, they also run regular guided trips out to the beach to hunt for fossils!<\/p>\n

Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cobb in Lyme Regis has always been one of the most important tourist destinations in Lyme Regis, and for good reason too, but not just something to look at, as it\u2019s also home to Lyme Regis Marine Museum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This traditional, family-run museum offers visitors an exciting insight into the sea creatures which are found in the local waters of Lyme Regis, with opportunities for hands-on interaction and so much to see and do, you\u2019ll have a blast \u2013 whatever the weather.<\/p>\n

Dinosaurland Fossil Museum <\/strong><\/p>\n

You might well have surmised that dinosaurs are a big deal in Lyme Regis, an observation that\u2019s confirmed by the sheer number of businesses and attractions which have sprung up around the fact that Lyme Regis was once the centre of the paleontological world.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also why the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum<\/a> is such a popular attraction within the town. This traditional museum is housed within a stunning Grade 1 listed building and features over 12,000 permanent fossils on display and a host of educational zones, you and the kids will learn the history of the earth via the creatures that used to walk it.<\/p>\n
