What an amazing museum!!! We weren't expecting too much as it doesn't look like much from the outside but couldn't have been more wrong!! A whole Victorian street waits on ground level, complete with lots of shops, a back alley and a Sunday school.Dress up room for extra added fun.Upstairs has a temporary exhibitions called danger zone which was also super interesting. Caf downstairs serves nice sandwiches and cakes at reasonable prices.
We absolutely loved the museum. So interactive. We were a little surprised because we werent expecting anything special. But it was a lovely family friendly environment. The staff were so helpful and informative while finding a good balance of letting us do our own thing. Would highly recommend doing this along with the abbey. The cafe also produces some very tasty, good quality food. It was lovely to have something hot on a cold day.Will definitely bring visitors here when they visit in the future. Highly enjoyable experience.
Very interesting and full of information!I'd recommend around a 1-2 hour visit here to make sure you see everything. We visited on a Sunday and the car park over the road (by the kids playground) is FREE.Discounts for students and benefits.Gift shop and caf also on the way out.
Great place to go to with any ages. Staff very Friendly and helpful. Beautifully kept and lots of lovey things to see. Gift shop and cafe a little overpriced but only as you'd expect. Great that there was free parking and a play park across the road as so that extended the day and the kids got to let off steam.
Sunday was our first visit to this museum. My daughter and I were taking my two granddaughters of 4 and 9. My elder granddaughter is studying the Victorians at school so I thought this would be enjoyable for her but I wasn't too sure about the younger one. However they both had a really great time. I am disabled and the staff could not have been more helpful and practically all of the museum was accessible. I couldn't have managed the children without my daughter who is also my carer as there were lots of little places to run around and the disabled toilet was excellent and accessible but I needed help to look after the children. We found that by the time we reached the upstairs the little one was tiring but we were so impressed by the toys and in particular the dolls houses that we are going to return shortly after Christmas. Attention to detail was incredible and the interesting wallpaper in the toilet and round about was very educational!We had heard that the cafe wasn't up to much but we had a lovely drink there. The only one unfortunate thing was that my daughter was given big mugs of hot chocolate and as she is not used to children she didn't think to ask for half measures.Lovely gift shop with many pocket money purchases.
