What visitors say
Absolutely lovely place to stop at. Museum was good. Do take a look at the area housing old fairground rides and slot machines as it brings back memories for those of us who are old enough to remember them. There is a sweet shop and it sells some great little things for the kids too. There is a cafe and a big connect 4 for people to have a go on. The 2 trains are good to go on and the staff were so very helpful and friendly and happy to assist where necessary. A great day out.

We recently visited the National Fairground Museum and had the pleasure of meeting Craig, the General Manager. He was incredibly accommodating and went out of his way to show us around the fantastic Moon Rocket ride, which was once owned by my grandad. This was a very emotional and special visit for myself and my family, and Craig's kindness made it even more memorable. He took the time to show my son everything about the ride, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm, which made the experience truly unforgettable. Craig is a credit to the museum and an outstanding General Manager – a genuinely great guy who clearly cares about both the history of the rides and the visitors who come to see them. He helped create a day full of wonderful memories for our family, one that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you, Craig, for your time, care, and kindness.

A wonderful experience for all ages. A large railway museum. Plenty of places to eat. Two guage railways with knowlegable staff who made the trips interesting and fun for the children. The ten minute stop enabled us to fo the woodland walk before rejoining the train. Fun for all in the funfair museum with rides that took me back to my childhood. We visited the day before Good Friday, during school holidays and we didnt have to queue for any of the rides. A play barm for the little ones and an Easter trail. All aboard for a lovely nostalgic day out.

"Is this a place for an adult, with no kids, to visit?" was the question I asked myself. Most of the park is geared up for kids and families, but would there be enough to hold my interest. I'd been gifted an entrance ticket so set off to find out. The fairground museum was interesting, with informative panels explaining everything on display. Likewise the static locomotives on display. There was also two railways to ride. So far, so good, but that's pretty much it for anything to hold my attention. I gave it a fair shot (almost 3 hrs) and wanted to like this place more than I did. But a solo adult isn't the target audience - I get that - so I was glad I hadn't paid full price for a ticket. If you want to get the most out of a visit here then you're definitely going to need to take some little people with you.
