Carlos Castro
★★★★★2 months agoExcellent museum and perfect customer service. I felt very welcoming and and reception at the front was supreme. I really enjoy the experience, the stairs house, the details and the information. Actually was like traveling back in time I was expecting an small museum, but not. It is like the Tardis bigger inside. 4 floors! Lot of details of Stockport past that you are not aware of it specially the Strawberry record section. Family / kids friendly some area for children to play/learned. Value for money. Worth the price ticket

★★★★★6 months agoGreat place to bring my toddler, he loves it. He's not old enough to appreciate all the information yet but he enjoys going upstairs to the children's room. They have a great selection of role play toys and train track. It's definitely an excellent place to go on a rainy day, plus it's free. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming.
