Traveler reviews
Elke Holderbeke Hewitt
★★★★★7 months agoWe didn't really know what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised by our visit. The interactive tablets were great fun, and all the displays are really well put together and interesting. The kids (5 and 7) really enjoyed the visit as well. The low entrance fee (free for kids!) is a bonus.
Rachel Curtis
★★★★★5 months agoReally enjoyed exploring the museum. Loved all the different themes and exhibits. Lots of interesting information which you can access through the tablet as well as a webpage. It's accessible despite being on multiple floors, toilets and lockers to put belongings in too while visiting. Highly recommend a visit
