Research carried out by Care Specialists New Care Homes has revealed the Best Museum Days Out to head out and explore this summer. The Bradford museum scored 77.5 points out of 100 in the study, the same amount as the World of Beatrix Potter in Cumbria and the National Space Centre in Leicester. The British Museum tops list of best museums to explore this summer. The Imperial War Museum in Manchester is second, while The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds is third.

The team compiled information on some of the UK’s most popular museums, and scored them out of a possible 100 to find out which could offer the best days out for older people across the UK. In instances where venues received a similar score, they were then ranked on value for money. Key criteria that was scored included cost of admission for kids and adults, cost of parking, the number of onsite cafes and/or restaurants and average time it takes to tour the entire venue.
