Had a great time visiting here with my grandad. Lots of really interesting exhibits and some lovely walks in between. It's a full day out and from what I could see it is great for kids too. Lots of lovely animals to say hello to and the cafe was great, really delicious food. To top it all off the staff and volunteers were extremely polite, helpful and welcoming to the museum. Would definitely visit again and recommend to everyone. If you live locally and have never visited, you're doing yourself a great injustice.

We went to the bonfire and fireworks. It was a wonderful family event. The fireworks were great. We especially enjoyed the massive bonfire. We will definitely be coming back to see the rest of the museum soon. Love the gypsy caravans, just like Danny champion of the world.

Spent the whole afternoon here, lots to see and lovely area to walk around. Lots of engines, trades and animals . I had been before but had forgotten how big and how much was actually there, all in the middle of Stowmarket shops. Lovely get away from the town!

Lovely place but as all places has suffered from lack of volunteers over the last year, so lots of weeds invading the exhibits. But don't be distracted by that. There is lots to see and do. Buy a bronze ticket and get in all year, for the price of a day entry. Lovely cafe, nice staff.

We came here for the Beer Festival and enjoyed the rural setting, including the traveller wagons. Staff were very friendly and interested in making the event a great success. The barn, where the ales were kept, is a very fine structure in its own right. I'm not sure though, whether I would pay £12 to enter the museum on a normal occasion, irrespective of its merits.

We had a wonderful day out here yesterday. Lots of shady places to hide from the sun, and so much to see we didn’t fit it all into our afternoon. So even better that our tickets are valid all year. When asked… what was best one child said “Abbots Hall” and the other two children said “Darren!” So pass on our thanks to Darren and his interesting piggy info. Older boy loved the irony of being on his mobile in the phone box.

This really is a hidden gem in Stowmarket. There is such a huge amount of things to see that it could take a few days to see it all! The animals look well looked after and the exhibits are very diverse and well maintained. I look forward to visiting again throughout the year to see some more of the diverse wildlife

Fantastic barn that is used for a variety of events but in particular beer festivals as the barn provides a cool environment in which to keep cask Ale without it over heating.
The associated Osier Cafe is a great place to eat and is a popular destination for cyclists wanting coffee and cake.

Oh my word this place is huge! Less than £10 an adult. So family friendly. Plenty of indoors displays and even more outside activities you could visit on any weather.
My mind has just been blown. I need to go back to stand a chance of absorbing some of the things I've taken in today
