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.
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.
