We had a very good afternoon here. Well worth the £4 upgrade to go on the transport. Unlimited rides, we went on each train and the Gallopers. We enjoyed all, but the Gallopers were a highlight. It goes quite fast too. Highly recommend. Very interesting museum, lots of steam machines, interesting history and a dad's army exhibit. 2 engine sheds full to mooch round as well. A kids section with toy trains. Gardens are beautiful and we had a lovely walk around. All staff were super friendly and helpful. Need a nice day as most of the attractions are outside

What a lovely place to visit and step back in time. We went on all the train journeys offered. Great fun. The highlight for me was going on the gallopers (merry go round) we visited on the weekend when all the various fire engines were there. I'd definitely recommend a visit.

A great day out for all. Friendly staff. A cafe and loads tondo. Great steam shed and 2 lovely train rides. The gardens are a must see. And the kids playground keeps the younger one happy.

If I could rate higher I would! Lots to see and do and great timing on the train rides so they cross over and see or run aside each other. The Dads army area was great, engine shed and exhibition halls was great. It was all great!
