Dover Transport Museum – Family treasure hunt day

Port Zone, Willingdon Road, Whitfield, Dover, Kent, CT16 2JX

  • 19 Sep 2026
  • | In person
  • | Pre-booking required
  • | Exhibition

A fun day for families. Come and explore the history of Dover businesses and vehicles through a museum quiz and treasure hunt aimed at all ages – for the very young, mums and dads and grandparents.

This is a free event for family visitors. The museum contains hundreds of exhibits celebrating Dover’s old businesses and occupations as well as vehicles once familiar on local roads. Quiz sheets for older children and adults will be available, based on these displays, and completed sheets will be entered into a prize draw. A simpler “treasure hunt” will be available for younger children, again with a chance to win prizes. Weather permitting, the museum’s ride-on railway will be open for children’s rides.
