What visitors say
we enjoyed this one, even though, like everything else in stratford, it is just too crowded with mindless pushy tourists... lots of very creative mechanical art projects, here... mesmerizing for a decent chunk of kids... fwiw, I'd make it all free entry and have all the gadgets be coin operated, which would allow the less privileged kids to learn, too... but, hey, I'm not an just unscrupulous tourist trap trying to maximize profits instead of inspriring creativity, so what would I know?

Just so blooming clever!!! Not a big place but so different! We kept walking around again and again, one of those places where you see more the more you look! I was absolutely hypnotised by the fabulous sand pattern robotic table!!! I think it’s now my life’s goal to own one!!! Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely little museum full of all sorts of wonderfull creations and artpieces. I loved following the running balls and enjoyed seeing how mechanisms worked. Was a bit busy and loud for its size, would reccommend going on a weekday or a less busier time.

BRILLIANT. It's not big but it doesn't matter. The place is full of really cleaver and interesting mechanisms donated by artists. A few are interactive. My 6 year old grandson walked around with a Wow face for nearly two hours. He loved it.
