Learning Through Time: Discover Martindale Hall with Children’s University

There’s something magical about learning that takes place beyond the classroom, especially when that learning unfolds within the grand walls of a place like Martindale Hall.

Martindale Hall is proud to be a participating destination for the Children’s University program, inviting young minds to step into history and let their imaginations roam.

Martindale Hall isn’t just a stately mansion, it’s a living museum, layered with stories waiting to be discovered. For curious kids enrolled in Children’s University, a visit offers the chance to earn passport hours while exploring everything from silk-stitched dog portraits and travelling trunks to butler’s pantries and books over a century old.

What sets Martindale Hall apart is the real-world experience it offers. Children don’t just read about how people lived in the past, they can see the heavy mahogany table where grand dinners were served, they stand beneath a painted ceiling that once shimmered in candlelight, and they walk the same corridors as governesses, cooks, and stable hands from over 100 years ago. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with history in a way that’s tangible, immersive, and full of wonder.

Learning here isn’t passive, it’s an adventure of discovery.

So bring your Children’s University passport, pack your curiosity, and experience the joy of learning in a place where the past feels close enough to touch.
