The book focuses on five types of environments which can be enjoyed by young children and help them learn. These are: museums; art galleries; performing arts venues; the built environment; and zoos, farms and aquariums. The book has been written to encourage the reader to access these provisions locally. The major museums, galleries, arts venues and other mainstream attractions rarely feature in this book because their excellence is well known. The museum or farm nearest the reader may not be renowned throughout the country, but nevertheless it may hold rich learning resources and valuable cross-curricular opportunities for children. The United Kingdom is fortunate in being particularly prolific in the number of visitor attractions it offers, in comparison to the vast majority of other countries around the globe. On doorsteps there will be venues which hold the key to provoking curiosity and delight in young children. This book will help access those venues. This book is organized into the following 6 sections: (1) Visiting Museums; (2) Visiting Art Galleries; (3) The Performing Arts; (4) Visiting the Built Environment; (5) Visiting Zoos, Farms and Aquariums; and (6) Practical Considerations. It concludes with Further Information and an Index. (Contains 12 images.)
