★★★★★a week agoA very nice museum! I was looking for stamps and the app led me here and was unexpectedly surprised (in a good way)! U got in because of the stamps but ended up doing a tour on all floors, because it was really interesting, the workers were all very kind and polite as well! Recommend for people in the area, it's free entry!

★★★★★7 months agoThis museum was so wonderfully curated (there was something for all ages). My 2.5 year old absolutely loved Level 3 with the interactive fire engine, helicopter, and dressing up like a fire fighter. We could have spent hours here. All of the staff were so lovely. Would highly recommend.
