Keen to encourage your kids to take an interest in local history? There’s a lovely FREE photography exhibition on in the Centre MK at the moment. It’s called Streets of the Past and is located in a pop-up unit near Greggs. The exhibition displays photographs taken of different places in Milton Keynes by Maurice Kitchener in the early 20th century, next to those taken in 2016. It’s fascinating to look at how much each area has changed. This is the latest STACCess Exhibition, created in conjunction with the MK City Discovery Centre and New City Photography Society. I liked how there are steps for kids to be able to see the photos! It’s not very big and you can wander around it in a few minutes but it’s worth having a look if you’re shopping. It’s on until the end of March 2016.

I'm Laura, mum of two boys - aged six and four. I started this website at the end of Sept 2015 whilst on maternity leave. I now work four days a week and do this blog late at night once the little boys are sleeping. It's won several awards over the last four years and I continue to run it for free and mostly focus on free, cheap, and good value days out. Do drop me an email laura@miltonkeyneskids.com if you want to contact me. Don't forget to follow all of our latest adventures on facebook, instagram and twitter and have a look at all of the videos of the places we visit on the Milton Keynes Kids YouTube Channel - subscribe to it for notifications every time I add a new place. And remember... you may been reading this post months after we visited, do check with the destination you're visiting for up to date opening times and prices. If you find this blog useful then please do comment on my posts and leave me a Facebook review - it makes doing this all the more worthwhile.
