The Cove at the National Maritime Museum

Two young children climbing up a green net.

Let your children's imaginations run wild at The Cove, a fabulous outdoor playground at the National Maritime Museum.

Clamber aboard the ship and take the wheel, spin on the compass roundabout, scramble through the mighty Kraken’s tentacles and come face to face with the giant 'Cutty Shark'!

At The Cove playground, kids can create their own swashbuckling adventures – where better to do it than in the heart of Maritime Greenwich!
