What visitors say
A well organised and excellent “real” life rooms, lots of interactive as well as history. Such a thought provoking time. A great cafe too although there is repair and building work to create new facilities. A must go to place

What an experience this is, it is a very humbling and knowledgable dayUnfortunately we left without seeing everything but we will return. From the entrance where the roses are, the stones for the children to the pictures, it is probably the most emotional place we have visited. Thank you to the people who have supported this and especially to those who have told their stories.

Amazing place for reflection and education. Everybody who is in the area should visit, very thought provoking and educational. Some amazing, sad, interesting and frightful stories, very humbling considering the world we live in today ❤️

This was a good/somber experience, if you want to learn more about the Holocaust. There's two exhibitions, the first about the kindertransports then the second about what the Nazis did to the Jews (not really suitable for young minds). Good cafe, best to visit in school holidays (as we did) as there's plenty of school trips in term time. This is a hidden gem as it's been here for 31 years and we only heard about it on it 30th anniversary, you could easily spend 2 to 3 hours here especially if you're interested in history.
