If you don't want to discourage children from going to museums, it is wise to consider whether the exhibition is adapted to kids' age and interests. (Though I rarely stick to this tip, to be honest;)
Sometimes entry fees are high and paying for an extended family (in case there aren't any favourable family discounts) might occur painful...
But there's a way to circumvent it! Plan your museum trip according to museum nights' calendar. Almost all European countries (and also growing number of countries outside Europe) are involved in this programme. During a museum night (which is not literally "night", it usually begins in the evening or even earlier) you can enter selected museums for free.
I have nice memories from the following places:
1. Holztechnik museum in Wettenberg (close to Gießen, Germany) - everything connected with wood and woodworking, a very interesting kids-addressed museum!
2. National Railway Museum in York, UK - an enormous exhibition starting with old steam engines up to modern rail vehicles. It's a little-boy-paradise!
3. Technical Museum in Zagreb, Croatia. They have everything there!!! Fire fighting brigade, a model coal mine, real beehives, planes and ploughs, motorbikes, bicycles, small tank, first computers, satellites and many more.
And numerous toy museums and open air museums presenting wooden village architecture (you may find them in every European country).
