This museum is a fantastic day out and is really highly recommended for children up to about 11. There are specific areas for the under 5’s and even a couple of special non-walker areas. The concept of the museum is that you learn through play and everything there is hand-on. There is a cafe and gift shop on site although there are indoor and outdoor picnic benches if you want to take your own.
