Parent summary

The Arsenal Museum has genuinely helpful and approachable staff who are ready to support visitors and answer questions, which many families have found valuable. There are some practical considerations to be aware of: access to certain areas can be unpredictable, and planned changes to what's available aren't always communicated clearly in advance, so it's worth checking what will be open when you visit.
