No, I do not think so. You may ask it at the reception desk before the long queue! Otherwise you will lose your time. You also can give a ring (01+44+207 224 3688) and get your answer before visiting that absolutely gorgeous museum in Baker Street. I haven't been there with a student who is under 5. But when you ask the desk where the lady can help you. I recommend showing your kid's ID card then they believe in you. One day I didn't show their IDs so the lady didn't believe in me and then the payment was high for me. You know everyone can say I'm adult but kids are under 10, How can the lady trust you? so take IDs with you and would you show them before buying the tickets please. By the way do not forget to take your kid's shot with guard before get in the building! It will be so nice memory.... Enjoy visiting Sherlock Holmes Museum.
