At the Old Royal Naval College, children get in free, up to four with each paying adult, though every child still needs a ticket. A general admission ticket can be converted into an annual pass at no extra cost, so a second visit within the year costs nothing. General admission includes free family activities, and a visit can also take in the Victorian bowling of the Skittle Alley, open around the middle of the day, and the Discover Greenwich museum of local history. The grounds stay open long after the buildings close, and picnics are welcome in the riverside grounds. Mornings are generally quieter, and the quietest months run from November to February. The trade-off: the Painted Hall closes for events on set dates, all day on 11 October and 16 to 19 November, and from the afternoon on 22 and 26 October and 4 November, while the Chapel is closed 26 to 30 October and on 26 November.
