Very tactile in that you can feel and touch a lot of the artefacts. Very dog friendly and accommodating with dogs on lead allowed to roam with you. One of the best historical museums we have visited. read less

Very tidy,plenty of toilets. There is also a Cafe, where you can buy a light meals.Very educational and lots of photo opportunities. They have a few demonstrations, through the day.I don't think it is very wheelchair friendly, as there are lots of hills and steps to get in to the buildings. read less

It was their heritage weekend so they had live music and character dressing everywhere. Absolute wonderful experience. Even the pharmacy had a knowable Alchemist.The restorations are first class, buildings perfectly set up and a great day out. Able to stay dry all day by hopping from one building to another. Gifts and souvenirs are available in the entrance shop at ok prices.Lions had a BBQ so food was available. read less

Best museum and collection I have ever seen with staff keen to help and educate you on what they know, When we are back up this way we are coming for another visit for sure, Thankyou for a great day out guys read less

Great value for money as you get 3 days entry. Wonderful gift shop. We did eat at the Cafe. It was disappointing. We stopped to have lunch at at 12. Most things were not available until 1 and the Cafe closed at 1:30. We ordered soup. It took almost 45 minutes to arrive and was not with the wait. Tea was lovely. read less

The train ride and suspension bridge are worth seeing. Unfortunately the cafe ran out of food at 1pm. So no lunch unless you brought your own, which, when you are a tourist isn’t always an easy option. Also Easter weekend so limited places nearby where you could eat 🙁 read less

Lots to see from the past and is interesting for families. We really enjoyed our time there. A special thank you to the lady who ran the tea rooms for making us lunch as they were closing up even though we were running late. read less

Top place to visit - need to go back and spend more time there.

Very interesting place although a bit on the expensive side
