What a superb museum if you are interested in engineering. Run by volunteers with a very modest charge to get in. Watch the DVD presentation first to get a context of how it keep the Fenlands from flooding.

Absolutely fabulous museum that is volunteer ran. Please consider going to this lovely place to keep its history alive and going. Great place to bring your children if they love seeing big engines run....also fun for adults to see all workings of the engines that ran the pumps. There is a wall of second hand books available for .50p and some brick-a-brac for sale that helps keep the place running. The volunteers are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Nice little cafe to grab a simple bite to eat in the afternoon. We decided to buy a yearly membership for our household. Can't wait to go back!

An excellent fenland drainage museum, and much larger than I had expected. Well laid out, well labelled, and with highly knowledgeable volunteers on hand. Visit on a "running" day, but actually still very interesting and enjoyable at other times.

Listed as the 11th best thing to do in Ely on TripAdvisor, this place is #1 in our hearts. A quaint museum that goes over the history of draining the fens, they also do Engine runs! May or may not be haunted. Wish they made hats. 10/10.

The engine museum in Prickwillow is simply an amazing little museum. I learnt a lot while visiting and got to enjoy a nice cuppa afterwards. All the staff were welcoming and friendly.7/7 would recommend a visit to anyone interested in the history of the fens or diesel engines.

This is a great museum preserving the heritage and educating all minds old and young. The stream engines of Allen and Mireel are both well preserved, looking shiny and proud at their past achievements. It's run by a team of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers. We also got a hand-held pad to tell us more about each artefact. I have been wanting to visit here since before the covid, and the wait is well-worth it. The photo shows a piece of Fenland humour at its entrance.
