We took our grandchildren to where we took their mum and uncle many years ago. It’s still great fun for kids and maybe even better now. Nice to see the bees are still there!

Great day at the early bird session. Really appreciated it. The boys particularly loved the bee hive.

I love this place- it’s weird and wonderful and on our last visit the curator took such special care to engage my 2 and 4 year old. While I tried to contain them he embraced their desire to write on everything and be royal pains and talked through their favourite pictures. It wasn’t the cold, stuffy, child unfriendly experiences I recall as a kid and that turned me off such places, but rather warm, inclusive and fun! Great work! ❤️

Brilliantly erudite, witty and inspiring lecture by Dr Field on Leonardo da Vinci. I learnt so much. More like this please!
