New family exhibition coming soon to London Transport Museum
Get street smart at London Transport Museum in Covent Garden this summer with a tyre screeching, horn beeping, crash, bang wallop of a play experience with a difference.
From Saturday 25 July to Monday 31 August 2009 Street Smart! is a hands-on way for families to play together in the Museum galleries and discover how to be streets ahead in road safety.
In the front of the exhibition will a big game of snakes and ladders and at the back is a model city layout that you can drive remote control vehicles around. This is a time-ticketed event.
Get behind the wheel of a miniature remote controlled mini for a fun spin on road safety in the Streets ahead! zone and hop on board a super-sized game of Skids and Ladders.
Tiny transportinos can sing along to transport rhymes in Street Beat and the Museum's fun interactive bus and Tube station display vehicles will be on Covent Garden Piazza from 3 to 7 August for Be Safe Week.
