Great place. Free entry but recommend donation. Good selection of historic items. We spent around an hour and and have had a good time. Good for kids with plenty interactive options.

An amazing museum free of charge to enter. I always love to go in. There are different exhibitions in each room I really loved the Pete Mckee. The space invaders game took me right back to my childhood along with the pictures. There is a cafe inside or you can eat in the green outdoor park with a picnic. Toilets are inside and a gift shop. There is a donation box in the main entrance. If you can spare a few pennies/pounds it would be greatly appreciated. Lots to be explored. Went today and it was full of children on school trips. Whilst in a room a talk was going ahead to a group of children. When my children went to play with some equipment after some other public members had used it we were told not to use it as it was disruptive. This is a public place available to all! I have the most respect for learning opportunities but my children were denied this due to others learning. If talks are going to take place for educational purposes then it should be conducted in another room (in my view) to allow all to have access to learning experiences.
