The on-site café offers a welcoming space to relax, while the well-stocked museum shop provides unique souvenirs and literature inspired by its collections. With free entry and accessible routes throughout, IWM North is an ideal destination for families, history enthusiasts, and anyone eager to understand the human cost of conflict through interactive, thought-provoking exhibitions.
