It's beautiful and interesting etc but it's so overpriced and far too busy. The queues would've taken half the time if the cashiers didn't take everyone's personal details for gift aid... There must be a quicker way! On a wet day too it was poor for kids (we took a six year old) as many of the 'attractions' were too wordy... It didn't feel very fun! The zip wire etc were for 8+ and the only (and very small) soft play was up to age 5. The dinosaur display on the stage was ok. With that many kids through the doors in the summer holidays you'd think that there would be kids stuff everywhere! I've been to museums that were much better at entertaining all ages. I'm tired and disappointed after a long day out that I was really hoping to enjoy more.
