What visitors say
Hidden Gem. Loads of interesting information, suitable for all ages. Great value for money. Hornby railway, mock street shops in times gone by. Various transport to view, interactive museum. Clean and tidy. Mostly indoors so great for our unpredictable weather! Café on site + outside green space. Spent over 2 hours on site. Dog friendly too! Pay once return for a year on your ticket 🎟 😊
