Dear Migration Museum,
we often visit and really love your exhibitions and activities. Do you by any chance host children birthday parties? Our son turns 6 in March and your location has come to mind as the ideal one. No more than 20 kids for a couple of hours max, home catered, but would love to have a couple of your lovely family activities to engage the children. Not sure you do (or would consider doing) anything of the sort, please let us know if you do!
Best wishes,
