Stumbled across this museum on a walk. I had great fun exploring it. There are tonnes of interesting exhibits, including trains, fashion, furniture, planes, science, space, and music. It is a great place to bring children. Entry is free. The museum is fully disability accessible. There are accessible toilets. There are wheelchairs for hire, but these are limited, so it is best to call in advance.

There are some great sections, and then there are some not so much. Kids may enjoy the exhibits on space and old trams, trains. Entry is free, and there are school tours often here. Guidance on exhibits can be better, and a map with the recommended path can help. A nice experience for may be 2 hours. Interactive sections on science, space, and old steam engines will keep kids happy.

Really fun and interactive exhibits. Staff are super helpful and lovely. The Gucci exhibit was a great exhibit which provided an insight into various campaigns from the past- very interesting if you enjoy fashion. They have exhibits which help kids learn concepts and allow play. There are adequate amenities and cafes as well as a gift store. A very worthwhile visit especially since there is no admission fee.

Update- museum is closing down for an upgrade. Many of the exhibitions are gone currently. Managed to explore within an hour. Looking forward to when they reopen with everything Previous review Awesome museum where you can easily speaks 2-4 hours here. I throughly enjoyed the steam train section and the old train station board. Little ones enjoyed the interactive side to the museum. They had a bast. Best of to prepare some food and water.

Great day out with kids. There are lots of interesting displays and some interactive aspects plus the size of the venue makes a first time visit even more a discovery adventure with new things to see around every corner. Quite easy to spend most of a day here and the cafe upstairs served nice lunch also a good spot for a quiet break. Very pleased to have the opportunity to see the Apollo 11 displays and the steam engines running.
