A great FREE museum to visit with kids, to show them childhood toys of the past. A great place to kill some time for a couple of hours, especially looking at all the different types of dolls made from different materials.

There is no entry fee to the museum, only a suggested donation of £5.

The galleries are spread over multiple levels and there are toilets available inside the museum.

There's a gift shop upon entry/exit of the museum.

We had a fantastic experience as a group of 6.
There was no wait as we had booked the tickets in advance. The kids loved the giant statue of Hagrid inside the store, along with the Ninjago and Star Wars statues outside the store.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and were able to advise us on any questions we had.

The beginning mini 'ghost train' type ride was lots of fun and we all got a bit competitive over who could score the most points shooting the skeletons.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the 4D Dreamz ride inside the Discovery Centre (you will get wet slightly!!) along with the flying bike ride.
They had lots of fun inside the giant soft play area and a look around the shop.

You'll likely spend between an hour and a half up to 3 hours inside the Discovery Centre.

The shop has some very rare and hard to find LEGO sets, and the prices aren't bad at all.

A great day out for the family.
