    A 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!

    This 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.
