My youngest daughter used to love it here and would always watch night at the museum after. So decided to take my grandsons there. Well the youngest was fine but the eldest one was a bit frightened of the animals. So we went into the grounds and had a great deal of fun exploring in the walled garden and the rest of the garden. Very helpful friendly staff would have been more stars if my grandsons were ok with the animals

An interesting museum and the staff are very helpful and informative, however I'm no fan of taxidermy which is the core offering. It does offer a fascinating insight into a bygone age.

Great for our toddler, they give you a little explorer hat and backpack and he loved the animal dioramas. There is loads he could touch and try on in one of the galleries including a stuffed hedgehog, loads of instruments and hats. Lots of fun!

Really enjoyed a family trip to the museum. A very very impressive taxidermy collection of very large animals...a bit sad but the specimens were collected many moons ago during the age of exploration. Lovely activities for children within the museum with a good handling collection. Children get some accessories to dress up with on arrival should they wish, which was a nice touch. We had a picnic in the formal gardens which were beautiful bin the late summer. We loved the walled garden especially. There was a nice woodland walk also and a nice café on site which we enjoyed a cream tea at in the afternoon. Very tasty. Recommend!

Amazing place to spend a few hours, so informative and exciting. Theres even a part where you can touch some bones, fur etc. All the staff are really friendly and knowledgeable for any questions.
