The national children’s museum has welcomed millions of visitors since opening on July 9, 1992.

The museum said “We’re proud of all we’ve achieved in that time, and know that it wouldn’t have been possible without Calderdale residents’ love and support.”

To celebrate, it will be holding birthday-themed fun this Saturday and Sunday.
