Very impressed with this museum. Wish I could go back without the kids as I could've spent a lot longer there. I especially enjoyed the local heritage and history as they really brought that to life.

Free for all exhibitions at the museum and generally a very nice clean park to visit, specially on a sunny day

Weston Park Museum is a great place to visit whatever your age, but particularly for young (and very young) children.
The current exhibition of works by Kenneth Steel is particularly worth seeing - an amazing range of engravings, posters, water colours, oils and architectural drawings!

This is the most accessible place to learn about the history of Sheffield, really nice cafe and park outside too. Highly recommend, especially with small children. Facilities maintained to a high standard.

Fantastic place to entertain inquisitive young minds with quizzes and regular events. Also a lovely cafe for a break and gardens to explore.

Great museum with loads of local and social history of Sheffield. A great place to visit if you are visiting Sheffield or want to get to know it better. Staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. The parks around it are also great to walk around and explore!
Really worth exploring this museum as it is not massive but rich in its stories and is well laid out.

Although not too big, it houses many interesting exhibitions with some interactive components too. There's a wee cafe in the museum which is a nice little addition if you need to freshen up before going for a walk in the surrounding park.

Though the museum is not very big, it houses many collections related to Sheffield. The Weston Park is particularly beautiful and peaceful. An enjoyable visit.
