Opening times and admission
Opening hours
Poole Museum and Scaplen's Court & Garden are both open daily, 10am to 5pm, so come and explore whenever suits you.
The Old Town Salt Pig café is open daily, serving smiles and delicious bites from 8.30am - 4pm.
Last admission is at 4pm, as exploring a new museum takes time - and you'll want to stay longer (trust us, we know!)
Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent.
We do take a short break over the festive season, so we’re closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
