Set at at the middle of the Famous Foxton Locks site, The Canal Museum uses fun and animated films to support its historic collection of artifacts and to tell the story of Foxton Locks and The inclined Plane Boat Lift. We have films, a unique 'boiler game' and several screens telling the story. Children love the Boiler Game and the play boat, but the children are often old enough to retire! Wheelchair access is good, but you may need assistance as the site is quite steep. Please call us if you want advice. We also have 2/3 temporary exhibitions a year, so there is always something different to see on your return visit! Group visits welcome. Visit our website for more information.

I visited here with family in July 2019 and found it such an interesting place. I'd visit again, the history of our canals is pretty amazing.
