The visit on Monday 3rd Feb with my daughter's school was amazing. The hospitality was incredible, especially Ceri who was enthusiastic and entertaining. Highly recommended for all ages.

Visited with my young family and received a lovely welcome from the informative and pleasant staff. The Roald Dahl museum was full of hands-on activities for children. The Star Wars Exhibition, interactive exhibitions, and playroom were all enjoyable.

A small place that can be walked through in 5-10 minutes. Some items were not working, making interaction difficult. Overall, seemed a bit run-down.

The museum and information were fascinating, but the refreshments were disappointing. Expensive sandwiches and instant cappuccino were not worth the prices.

A treasure trove for young kids, especially those with SEN. The place offers sensory and autism-friendly rooms, with plenty to do. Welcoming and understanding staff.

Overpriced and not worth the time and money. Limited exhibits spread across multiple rooms. A visit to the animal museum in Tring is suggested for a better experience.

A fantastic add-on with lots for kids to explore. While it may need a refresh, it's still entertaining for both kids and adults.

A fantastic day out with my 8-year-old son. The science exhibition, Buckinghamshire history museum, and Roald Dahl gallery were all enjoyable. The outdoor area with various activities was a hit, and the cafe served a good cup of tea. Spent 3.5 hours there and could have stayed longer.

Fun and cute but overpriced for its size. Unless you have an annual pass, it may not be worth it.

Interactive and helpful staff. Enjoyed the visit, but had to leave after about an hour due to toddler's readiness to go.
