What visitors say
Excellent museum in Sheffield featuring original features from the West Bar police and fire stations. Lots of dressing up opportunities for the kids as well as vehicles for them to climb into. It's just a pity that you can't us the fireman's poles. I particularly liked the Police Helment lampshades in the cafe. Tickets last a year.

Very fun and interactive. Spent about 1.5 hours looking round all the different exhibits. Each ticket lasts for a year and there is a lovely cafe on site. Not too busy for a Saturday lunchtime either

This is a great museum with lots of exhibits showing the history of the emergency services. Lots of vehicles, some of which you can go inside are a great addition to the uniforms and other objects. Great for families and adults who have an interest in the subject.

Lovely little interactive museum! 👮 We took our 20 month old daughter, she enjoyed sitting in the ambulance & pressing all the buttons in the fire engine 🚒 🚑 We’ll be back for the Little Heroes Play Days soon!
