November 2024Came for Remembrance Sunday, lots to see and lots of history. I stayed 2 hours but you could easily stay for longer. The view is amazing and there is a cafe and shop. Very informative and there are tunnels underground as well! £3 for car park but free to see museum.

November 2024I'd like to thank your staff and volunteers for our visit yesterday. The Christmas Wish was a very beautifully laid out and decorated experience. There were many instances of attention to detail that really shone through, especially the hidden magical dioramas dotted throughout, and the effort involved with the other larger features was very much appreciated. The activities were fun and kept us busy for almost 2 hours on their own, let alone the extra parts of the museum. My photos won't do it justice as the magic is more to be experienced in person, so I've only added a few little decorations along the route.

January 2025We had a weekend day out before the Christmas trails were removed and it was great for the children. There’s a car park on site and we paid £3 at the information/ welcome desk. It was advised to book on eventbrite to manage numbers and so we did. There’s so much to see and do and plenty of walking so allow for 1hour+. We had a buggy but most places were easily accessible and there was a lift too. Many opportunities for pictures and plenty to read on the items on site. There’s a cafe that offers hot and cold sandwiches with a meal deal which is affordable both for adult and children.
