Great day out at the Steam Toys event, trade tent, model boat lake, chip van - all really excellent.. Topped off by seeing the awesome beam engine in motion.
The museum had a nice amount of content and the steam toys in action day was interesting, although I was not impressed that there was such little access around the beam engine itself, compared to papplewick and claymills I have so visited. The exhibitions were good and I enjoyed the majority of the experience, it was just a shame the incredible and grand Victorian Beam engines had such little access.
Great day out for the family. Very educational and the kids would enjoy the history of how water and transport work(ed)s in our day to day life. It's all presented in a fun practical way where they can participate. There's also the cafe and the play area outside to keep their interest.
Took my young lad here. He loved it and so did I. They have a good amount of stuff in there as well, the thing that we loved was the water when you flushed the toilet and watched the water go though the pipe and once you have finished inside you can go outside and do some more stuff so you spend at least a good hour there and also it's free but can also donate if wanted. Definitely worth taking a visit there
Its ironic next the really expensive dated space centre this little free place is so much more fun. Chasing rubber poo down a toilet us do much more fun. So the irony is on a nice sunny day Id sooner go here (they have a new park outside) than the crappy space centre
