We visited on Monday 3rd Feb with my daughters school as part of a class of 30 children. This place is fantastic and the hospitality we received was incredible. Ceri is absolutely fantastic! We found her super enthusiastic and thoroughly entertaining; even us adult helpers got stuck in with all the activities ! The whole team made us feel very welcome and we learned loads of hidden gems about Roald Dahl. Highly recommend for old and young alike.

Visited with young family. Lovely welcome from informative and pleasant staff. Roald Dahl museum was lovely with loads of hands on and interesting things for children to investigate. We paid at the door. Went on to the museum which is situated in the same area but a different building. Lots of interesting information. There was a Star Wars Exhibition, Children's dressing up, a lovely embroidery exhibition, some interactive exhibitions and a lovely playroom for the children, full of toys to play with and explore. Very enjoyable .

Nice little place and little being the main word here, can literally walk through in 5-10 minutes. Was worth going but can't say I'd be going again, some items not working so can't interact with them and just seems a bit run down with items missing ect

I found the museum and all the information very interesting and quite fascinating. However the refreshments are the worst I've ever experienced. Having to wait ages to be served the sandwiches were quite expensive for what they were. I ordered a mozzarella sandwich which turned out to be a slice of cheese between 2 tasteless slices of white bread which hadn't even been closed properly with no embellishments and the cappuccino was an instant one from a sachet. For the prices I expected better an absolute rip off.

This place is a treasure trove for young kids, especially kids with SEN. They offer regulation packets for autistic children, the rooms are very sensory and autism friendly, and it’s not often very busy. There is loads to do! Staff are also very welcoming and understanding.

Over priced waste of time and money. Places like this should be free considering how little they offer. 5 or 6 rooms with the exhibits spaced far apart. Could have put everything in one room and be done in 5 minutes. If you want a decent time (and zero cost) go to Tring to the animal museum.

Fantastic little add-on with plenty for the kids to do and explore. It's been here a while and feels a little "well used". Could probably do with a bit of a refresh but it's still great and will keep kids and adults alike entertained for an hour or two.

This was a fantastic day out with my 8 year old son.
I was pleasantly surprised by how much there was to do.
We thoroughly enjoyed the science exhibition which housed lots of hands on experiments, suitable for all ages. There were large magnets, electrical conductivity, centrifugal force and many more to play with.
There was a museum of Buckinghamshire history, which was small, but well put together showcasing a range of finds from the county. A darkened sensory room (probably better for littler ones).
The Roald Dahl gallery was brilliant. My (autistic) son was a little freaked out by some of the noise machines and dark spaces in here, but overcame this once he interacted with the exhibits and realised it was a lot of fun!
Outside the café was a seating area and they'd filled the garden with stuff for kids to do. Water play, sand, musical instruments, a giant marble run. It was lovely sat outside here whilst the kids went off and played together, a good distance to keep an eye but not interfere.
Cafe made a good cup of tea. Spent a good 3.5 hrs there and could have spent longer.
Wish I'd taken more photos!

It's fun and cute but so expensive for how small it is. Unless you buy the annual pass and visit regularly it's just not worth it. Even with the combined ticket, we spent less than an hour in both places.

Interactive and really helpful staff. Would have liked to spend more time there but my toddler was ready to go after about an hour
