What visitors say
Welcoming staff. Nice and informative visit. Two hours in total. Great for our 10 year old granddaughter. She enjoyed the craft themed, on animals, this half term workshop. The gift shop was fab. We enjoyed the chocolate wonka area! Activities for smaller children in the courtyard such as a water tray with toys and a jumbo connect four. Lots of seating too to eat lunch and small snack station. A bonus of a water station too.

Such a wonderful children's museum that the grown ups can enjoy too. It's interactive, colourful and brings the magic of the books to life. We went to a Titchy Toddlers session specifically for 6 months - 4 years and my little one loved the different activities. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going and we will definitely be back.

It’s been an ambition of mine to visit for some time now- we made the pilgrimage today from the Isle of Wight, on our first wedding anniversary (paper, so it seemed fitting) Shout out to the girl on reception who gave me a badge for having an awesome outfit, you were so lovely and I will treasure it! The museum was a pleasure to visit and we (as big kids who read the stories when we were little kids) loved our time there 🍫📚

A very wholesome and enjoyable afternoon out. The museum has a good layout, plenty of interactive exhibits and several craft activities. There are also workshops that can be pre-booked I believe. They do storytelling a few times a day with the lovely and talented Dayner. I was going to deduct a star for the eye-wateringly expensive café but the young chap running it was so sweet and helpful, I couldn't bring myself to. If you're not too far away, the annual pass would be very useful! They are very reasonably priced for the experience, so even if you are only able to visit once, it still represents pretty good value for money.
