Staff are always attentive, it's always nice and clean. The routes change frequently. It also has a decent cafe with reasonable prices!

Lovely, friendly, and very helpful woman on reception. George, our instructor was great fun. A thoroughly enjoyable session.

Lovely place quite a lot to choose from while bouldering.

Visited recently with my younger sister and had a great experience. Sophie was extremely helpful and friendly, and ran the session at a good pace for our skill level. Will be back again

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Big Rock Hub in Milton Keynes, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. The facility itself is top-notch, with state-of-the-art climbing walls that cater to climbers of all levels. The staff members were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to offer guidance and support. The routes were challenging yet well-maintained, providing a great workout and a thrilling experience. The variety of climbing options ensured that there was something for everyone, from beginners to seasoned climbers. The facility was clean, well-organized, and had ample parking available. I also appreciated the convenient location, making it easily accessible. Overall, Big Rock Hub is a fantastic climbing gym that I highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their climbing skills or simply have a fun and adventurous time. Google Maps made it effortless to find this hidden gem, and I'm grateful for the accurate directions that got me there without any hassle.

We had a bouldering induction. Was really enjoyable and Alex, our inductor was really helpful, knowledgeable and patient with us. Look forward to visiting again. Worth hiring some climbing shoes and get some chalk. Great facilities and reasonably priced.

An amazing venue, well organised with very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Well priced too. Good coffee from the cafe. Special shout out to our instructor, Zoe, very helpful and fun!

Bloody brilliant. Had an amazing time. We will most definitely be back!! Professional staff , friendly and a nice Vibe. Very Clean and safe. Great price too.

Had a really great time here, completely new to climbing but after a short amount of time with our tutor we are all trying the more difficult climbs. Really good fun and very well organised! Everything was well maintained and clean, really felt safe, with lots of different climbs to try 👍🏼

Really friendly staff, great facility with the option to rope climb or boulder. Family friendly, they have a cute little cafe and a shop as well. Pretty good prices too! We can't wait to go again :)

Booked at fairly short notice for my 3 kids (17, 15 and 12) and myself on a bank holiday. The only option available was a private family climb session, which wasn't the cheapest, but in retrospect was very much worthwhile. The centre was easy to find, had plenty of parking along with decent climbing walls, bouldering area and facilities. The harnesses, helmets and boots were all of a decent standard, clean and in good condition. I had climbed a lot in the 1990s, but barely at all since, and my kids had only a small amount of experience. Our instructor Steph did a great job of ensuring we all had a safe and fun time without the safety aspects being overbearing. She quickly assessed my level of experience/rustiness, corrected a couple of mistakes and got me belaying my kids. Her instruction and encouragement had us all climbing at a more challenging level than I had expected, really quite quickly. The 90 minute session was more than long enough for us, with some very tired forearms by the end. Recommended, would definitely go back.

Awesome climbing centre. Helpful staff. Decent prices, great climbs of all levels. Lots of friendly climbers happy to give tips. A great, friendly place overall.

Always a brilliant place to boulder. Love the new comp wall (not that I can tackle much on it!) and the changes to the main bouldering area are a big improvement, offering so many new opportunities to practice all types of dynamic, technical, strength and flexibility moves. And a lot requiring good commitment for the full send! Almost always a brilliant route set here, always enjoy coming here, my only *slight* bug bear (personal wish really!) is that it would be amazing if at some point it mirrored Bond in its opening hours and off peak times e.g. weekends after 6pm. Totally understand the staffing required on this is a big factor, but it's the only thing I'd change about Hub! 🙃

Good indoor climbing venue. Nice bright coloured holds on light walls to make routes easy to see. I have colour vision issues (as do 10% of the male population). I would just like the setters to avoid Blue and Purple routes on the same board!

Booked the adult taster session as I am complete beginner. At start of the session you are given all the safety equipment including climbing shoes and then taken to the climbing walls. Everyone in the group takes turn to climb starting from easy to harder levels. Instructor Michael was brilliant with words of encouragement and advice throughout the session. Had a brilliant time and thoroughly recommend as this place caters for beginners to experienced climbers.

Fantastic place. Used it twice a week while working in the area having not climbed for many years. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good supervision and advice. Good selection of walls and grades with a great bouldering section and gym. Kids very well catered for too. Watch out for early evenings when it can be busy with groups.

The best climbing centre I've ever been too. Massive central walls. The staff are knowledgeable and polite. I liked the routes. It was busy but there's enough there if you are waiting to try a route.

We went to do the axecelerate axe throwing and it was so much fun. Think it is quite new to the venue & there were a couple of technical issues but overall the set up looks great & has a really cool arcade feel. The staff member who was with us explained the safety measures & kept us safe. Highly recommend especially if they get a beer licence.

Great fun - really nice staff and good track.

We had a brilliant time at Formula Fast. Really easy to book, and from the moment we arrived, Abbie S did a brilliant job of hosting. Joe and Casey did an excellent job getting us set-up and comfortable in the karts and the racing itself was a blast. The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Was surprised how good this was. I have visited quite a few karting tracks over the last couple of years but had never heard of Formula Fast until recently. Visited yesterday on a whim and was very impressed. Excellent facilities and staff were really friendly. Track is a little tight in places but last third is all flat out and is really fun as a result. Karts were powerful and they have an excellent blue light system which works really well, so slower drivers don't hold you up. Would definitely recommend Formula Fast and will visit again.

Had a great night here with my colleagues from work. Its very safe and well ran the rules are made clear to you from the beginning. Would definitely recommend it for team bonding or just fun with friends 👍🏼

Fantastic track. The staff were very helpful. Really worth a visit. Fast track. You won't be disappointed.

We had an excellent trip with a group of friends here and did the 10 qualifying laps with a 20 minute race to follow. The process was quick and fluid meaning it was fast to get to the racing. Also a little podium display at the end wrapped it up nicely.

Great place. Took my lad and his mates and they had a brilliant time. Really well run by fantastic staff. Thanks so much, even as a Dad watching them on the sidelines, I still had a brilliant day 👌

Visited Formula Fast as Two for one of their practice sessions on 9/8/23, the third time we've been and the experience was as brilliant as ever. The track is quick and exciting and the staff are consistently brilliant, helpful, and welcoming (Regrettably I did not get the names of the staff, however the staff working 09/08/23 at 19:30 are a credit to FF). Will certainly be back soon!

Had an experience session here as a Christmas present. The place is fab, although the parking and entrance are confusing to find. As it was my first time karting I wish I had a much more detailed briefing rather than just the safety basics. Also help adjusting my seat would have been good as it was too far forward meaning I was inadvertently braking for most of the session!

It was amazing😁. I planned to go to outside track. But the weather was miserable. So, I decided to try this place. I worried that karts might be slow or track too short. However, that wasn't a case. It didn't felt that i needed more power on this kind of track... one nitpick, it was a bit slippery on some corners. To be honest, I enjoyed that😅. And i believe that was more related to overall ambient temperature. (Warm up your tires😁) So that shouldn't be a problem in warmer weather.. I would suggest booking in advance to guarantee your time slot(i didn't. And I almost had to wait around for another half hour) But staff got me through on track in no time. All of them were professional and pleasant. I would like to say special thanks to Abbie. She quickly established my level of experience, and on health and safety briefing, she answered my questions quickly and clearly. Just heads up. Please arrive a bit early because i struggled to find a place. I'm definitely coming back 🙂

A group of us attended Axe throwing this weekend and it was brilliant! The whole experience ran smoothly from start to finish and Tom was very patient and helpful. Will definitely go again.

We had an amazing race. Been to many karting tracks, even worked on one, this was so far one of, if not the best staff in the UK. Abbie S made the briefing really fun and knowing we had been to many other tracks, adjusted accordingly, not made it too long but still to the point. Will definitely come back next time I'm in MK

Its a good track with some challenging turns. Ventilation needs some improvement though as i definitely came off the track feeling a bit like id had a feed from the exhaust into my helmet. But still a good place to go

My son, now 12, came a couple of years ago and loved it. He was back this week (after finally being up to it following a very complicated wrist break). I booked entirely the wrong thing this time, rang up in a panic and it was changed to the correct session very easily, didn't get the name of the lovely lady on the phone, but she was brilliant. Just popped the remaining balance on our account for drinks on the day. Amazing experience on the day, all staff were very friendly and so helpful on both visits. We will be back again (sadly not every week as he'd like though, as it's too far away!)

Super fun, well organised and easy to book the session online!

I did the axe throwing with the family. I've been twice and loved it both times. Stuart was our host and he was brilliant! Lots of lovely staff came in with drinks and medals for rhe winners. You can play lots of games as there's a projector - you can play tic tack toe, connect 4, attack zombies. Highly recommend!

Place is great. You're welcomed nicely. Provided everything you need and the track is fun and feels fast for an amateur like myself. The only reason I have down rated it slightly is because it's expensive. You only race for approximately 30 minutes and it's £50. To some that might not be much but for me it's pricey. If it was cheaper I would go so much more often because it's such a fun time.

I attended a wonderful debut concert here in the stage 2 venue. It was brilliant. Seated comfortable, sightlines good and the audio mix was spot on for types of instruments. I really enjoyed it and would like to come again. Hopefully 'The Beggs Sisters' might be in stage 1 next time! (They are new and I think will come up very fast).

Lovely venue, intimate feel to the performance. Well organised car parking with plenty of stewards. Lovely foyer with seated area to enjoy drinks. Bar forms part of the foyer and plenty of staff available for efficient (not rushed) service. Good selection of soft drinks (alcoholic drinks also available), and small selection of crips, etc. Likewise, the coffee station which had a small selection of sweet snacks. Very friendly venue. Modern, spacious toilets (I only visited the ladies) clean and well stocked.

We went to see Think Floyd (which was amazing!). We both love the venue but the Staff are so helpful and attentive. I turned up with a broken foot and stupidly had standing only tickets. All the staff went out of there way to get me seat. It was very much appreciated. I would like to say a very special thank you to Raymond. Kind regards. Kenny &Kate.

Lovely theatre, intimate. Good acoustics. Friendly staff, good bar and snack bar. Highly recommended venue.

Excellent venue. Saw Wishbone Ash and Mostly Autumn. Thoroughly enjoyed both. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The only downside is the fact that acts have to finish by 1030 due to new houses being built next to the venue and the house dwellers complain!! Why would you buy a house near a music venue if you don't like loud noises.... Idiots Update.. Mostly Autumn performed on the 6th December and played Christmas songs until nearly 11pm. I expect the local residents will be up in arms complaining! There is only one word to say, really..... HUMBUG 🎅🎅🎅

Great theatre with not a bad seat in the house. Friendly staff doing everything they can to keep you safe during this difficult time. Recommended!

The venue is great place to see artists that have earned their place in popular culture. I would perhaps sort out a couple of things... Stage left: near the disabled and mens toilets. The front row seats to this side are uncomfortably close to the stage. This wouldn't normally be an issue, but I noticed that on a couple of occasions that it was not easy for wheelchair users to get by without front row patrons standing. This isn't right for either parties really. Parking. If it's a busy night and you hit it with a good half hour before the warm-up at starts, the ingress into the car park is slow. Painfully slow. We'll organised, but slow. I didn't bother with ordering a drink as the queue always seemed long; so I've no idea on bar prices. Other than that, this is a great venue for artists and patrons alike. I enjoyed the shows but found myself leaving early as I wasn't really feeling the vibe- though plenty were and did.. so.its probably a me thing and not an artist thing...

Lovely venue, Staff very helpful, had a brilliant experience, Been going to music venues for over 30 years, I have to say this is one of the best, We’ll done 👍👍

Great teachrex show today! Fantastic for kids 3+. Joe and Sam did a great job keeping the kids engaged and funny for the adults too!

First visit to The Stables, saw Urzila Carlson. Great seats, were first row n top balcony. Quick service at bar. Lots of people out directing cars to park. Smooth overall. Shame there isn't air conditioning would be my only complaint! Would definitely go again.

A really nice venue run by great people. Tucked away, really pretty entrance, lovely clean and cost reception with bar and an intimate theatre seating around four hundred with a further stage for smaller performances (seats around two hundred). Go online and check out up and coming entertainment - this venue is very highly recommended.

Difficult to fault this purpose built, intimate venue with good acoustics. The car park was intensively. marshalled by staff & volunteers The foyer/bar was efficiently organised and for me,had an excellent choice of beers, including from local brewers.

Good parking and feel a great atmosphere here. The staff there was very helpful in giving you information about the show. Size of theater not too big and not too small.

Always well organised and well staffed. This was the first time I arrived via Dankworth Way, past the Community Centre where you must not park, as the gates are locked before the concert ends. Tonight's act were the excellent Soft Machine.

Watched Never the Bride, first time seen, recommended by friends, awesome band and great performers. They even passed round the tequila to the crowd! Superb night and quality venue for a lively band. Fast service at the bar too! Well done Stables Theatre, we will be back.

Easy to find, easy to park (free!), loved my visit to this intimate (400 seater) venue. Everyone gets a great venue. It was a hassle and stress free night. Peter Cox from Go West really knocked it out of the park. A star lost due the expensive drinks, the member of the staff unable to work the scanner and a crazy ban on cameras. They need to wake up to the 21st century.

Great local venue for concerts or stand up comedy, auditorium is a great size so that you feel close wherever you sit. Great service well organised. have visited on a few occasions and always enjoyed it. Highly recommend this venue

It was my first time at Bletchley. The history was fascinating. The tour guide option is worthwhile as it is a confusing array of buildings although a map is provided. There were lots of interactive displays and lots of personal lived experiences narrated. I was surprised at how well maintained the house is with lots of arts and crafts designed woodwork, ceilings and plasterwork. The cafe was pleasant and efficient too. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely amazing day. Very very interesting place, all the staff and volunteers were great, filled with loads of passion and knowledge and willing to share all of it. 5hrs it took to go round and I will be visiting again to learn much more. I thank all the staff and volunteers for keeping this history and memories alive from the gate on the way in, through buying the tickets, all around the the park, the restaurant (hut 4) the shop and on the way out. I will remember today forever.

A really fascinating place to visit, more of a focus around the Enigma machine of course. We found that unlike other war museums there is less here about uniforms, weapons, medals etc which is a nice difference. We visited on one of the hottest days in summer, so some rooms/buildings were incredibly hot. It goes to show the kinds of conditions they would have been working in at a time of war too, humbling. I also particularly liked the art exhibition focusing on data. There were a few that you could contribute to. Lots of green spaces, so great for a picnic if you bring your own lunch or snacks.

An excellent day out. Hard to believe we were there from opening time (10am) until closing time (4pm). Worth signing up for the free walking guided tour (outside). The headsets cover much of the same. Walking tour lasts for about an hour. Lunch in hut 4 - pretty good selection. A lot to see and your tickets are valid for a year to return anytime. Free on site parking or train station a couple of hundred metres away.

The tour guide gave us a very interesting view of the place and the story, which is always welcome. The family audio guide for children is welcome but not enough to keep them interested, despite the embedded games. Maybe some scoring board system or progress bar would have helped -"getting hired as a secret agent" thing. The interactive screens scattered in the huts do a far better job at keping them interested.

Loved our visit which has been known a must visit for ages. We arrived @11am & left 4 hours later not having seen all the exhibits. Some will br more useful than others data capturing is not my thing but loved being in yhr place where history was being made. We tried out hut 4 cafe for lunch..very tasty & also the free guided tour. It would be helpful to explain the guided tour is just outdoors not around the exhibitions & and for us it was a bit long winded & too detailed. Looking fwd to the new exhibitions they are planning and will definitely return. Highly recommended for junior school kids & upwards.

Wow what a historic place! 😲 Far bigger than I thought it would be. Spent six & a half hours walking around the grounds and exhibits. Still didn't get to all of it! Staff were great a very knowledgeable. Great place to visit if you like WW2 history 😀

Bletchley Park was the UK biggest secret during WWII. It still remains one of the best secrets as a place to visit. If you thought the movies were good you really need to visit Bletchley and see how really amazing the truth actually is. It is totally staggering what they did in those small huts. But what is great about Bletchley in 2022 is that they have restored the site, and kept the 1940’s feel of the whole site. Everything from the huts to the cafes and toilets are in theme. There are lots of video, interactive and information to make it a great visit. As other people have said keep the tickets, they are valid for a year. It may take 2 or 3 visits if you want to read everything. One of the best sites in the UK to visit, even my partner who hates “war stuff” loved it.

Attracting visitors from all around the world, Bletchley Park has something for everyone, from absolute novices who don't know anything about WW2 to certified expert military historians. You can have the self guided tour with headphones and commentary in different languages, or pay extra for a human guided tour, which is probably going to be the best experience. There are original enigma machines, along with replicas of various other code breaking devices. The site isn't too big, so you can walk it all. There are lifts / elevators next to most staircases and access ramps everywhere, too, so older visitors are looked after. There is an impressively sized gift shop, with almost everything you can think of, including Bletchley Park gin, beer, puzzles, t shirts, etc... there are a few cafes, indoor and outdoor seating and picnic tables. The short movie clips they play in the cinema room are very informative and well put together, and the original huts with 1940s furniture are particularly impressive. There's plenty of parking and lots of staff on hand to help.

Lovely historical building, absolutely a must visit for anyone with an interest in the Enigma machine, and the first ever built Alan Touring world computer. This is a fascinating place that transcends history with the great display of artifacts used during WW2. Highly educational, and a great day out for anyone. Open Monday to Sunday, from 09:30 am to 17:30 pm. Paid parking available, wheelchair access, and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Good day out with friends and family. If you get there when it opens and leave when it closes there is loads of history on codebreakers and enigma to see. There is a cafe, pond and all the machines that they used. Some of the machines are interactive with lots of touchscreen tablets so good for young children. (Under 12s go free).

Visited on a Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Arrived as it opened at 9.30am and no queues, was recommended to take the included 1hr tour of the grounds with a guide (book at the information desk) and that was really informative. Cafe and restaurant on site, food was very tasty with reasonable prices (London influenced?) and in the end we spent over 6 hours there. Believe we saw most of not everything but you could definitely spend longer there. Great thing with the tickets is that within the next 12 months you can return again as many times as you want, so excellent value.

If the allied code breaking exploits during WW2 is of interest then this is the place. Lots of information about code breaking with interactive exhibits sprinkled in. Options of going along the guided talks or going solo. If you chose the latter, don't forget to pick up one of audio description packs (you can bring your own headphones if you wish). A great day out for the whole family.

Went on a school trip, Amazing visit. The mansion and huts really make you feel like you were one of the code breakers. The vehicles were very interesting, you had some which were used during working hours, then you had one caravan used in the 2000's. Would visit again.

Overall, it isn't as good as it used to be, because Colossus is no longer included as an exhibit and they didn't make this clear at all. Also, the Winston Churchill room no longer exists. They have improved what they do have, including a very good video when you walk in and a cinema area with another good video. £7.99 for the bath ducks in the gift shop is a rip off, but other items in the shop were valued okay. The children's playground needs some more items. It would also be good to have learning material in the museum for young children.

I had a really great experience. The site was well kept, lots of good modern exhibits, guided tours by volunteers and generally a lot of WW2 history. There is a play park and eating areas too. The tickets are valid for a year allowing for return visits. Well worth a visit.

A very immersive experience. So much information about very dedicated people with pictures around the buildings making it more personal . A lot to see and interact with . There are facilities to eat and sit down. Benches outside around the lake are a welcome break from the huts. One can only imagine what an 8 hour shift was like ! A lovely day out 😊

Visited on their 1940s weekend, it was really nice to see and hear all the different period clothing and gear. Bletchley Park as a museum was informative and interesting but not my cup of tea. Felt it was like reading an uninspiring textbook, very knowledgeable but rather tedious which, is why I suspect the ques for the few interactive exhibits were long.

Very interesting place of historical significance. If you already know the history there isn't that much more to learn, and there is a lot of repetition. It's still great to see it all in person. Do follow the suggested order on the map, it really helpful and goes in a good order to understand the timelines. Sadly, It's a bit on the expensive side and the food is very pricey so maybe bring a picnic and sit by the pond, it's a very charming spot. I think very young children might not enjoy it but slightly older or teens may find it diverting enough if they like museum. There are lots of interactive displays dotted around. We spent about 2 hours here, so wear comfy shoes.

We had a great day at Bletchley Park! Even the security were happy and informative. All the staff were really helpful and polite. We went on a tour which was 1 hour and it went so quickly, his name was John. An hour wasn't long enough tp talk about all the amazing things that happened there. The exhibits were interesting, some were interactive. I liked the fact it told you how long until the next showing of a clip or movie. The D Day movie was great. Pros: great day out, good shop, informative tour guide, good facilities. Cons: expensive food (no peas, as they run out!), I'd like to see more of the mansion set up to how it would have been, Overall a great day out and you get visit as many times as you like for 12 months after your visit which does include some events.

So much history so many unsung heroes and so little time. I was a bit time poor today but really wanted to visit this bastion of WW2 secret war winning legend. I got a taxi to the Park from Milton Keynes Central station with a quick stop at the hotel on the way. Driver agreed to pick me up there 3hours later and I was not disappointed. It is only a short walk from Bletchley station however and not much more from Bletchley Town Centre. This venue is very wheelchair friendly and is packed with information. The staff are incredible and go out of their way to make the visit special. As usual I spent too much in the gift shop but just couldn't resist as the items for sale are very relevant and not the usual fare. A gentle stroll around the grounds takes you through the actual buildings where democracy was saved by dedicated people who worked tirelessly to glean the intentions of the Nazis and give the allies the upper hand from early on. Without these heroes the world might be a different place today. The grounds are kept in immaculate condition and there is even a play area for the children, however on my visit many of the kids were enthralled by the interactive exhibits. A pair of older children (early twenty somethings) were having a great time trying on some of the authentic 40s apparel supplied for the purpose. Photography without flashes is welcome and the cake and tea I had in hut 4 was superb. There are guided and self media assisted tours available but I chose to go it alone as I'm familiar with the history. I would recommend this as a must see activity.

History at its best. We didn't realise how big the site was and how much information was available regarding the very important,if not crucial, work that was carried out leading up to and very much during the 2nd world war. You could easily spend two days here and still find things to read and discover. There are interactive code breaking opportunities for both children and adults, just a bit of fun for us but could well have saved lives during the war, well worth a go!!! Food was also available from a couple of sites and plenty of space for picnics if the weather is nice particularly around the lake in front of the house. Tours are available but get in early to book as they fill up quickly, if you miss those though, don't worry as a full audio guide is available and is very well put together and informative. Good disabled access too. Have a great time code breaking!!!!

The history of the site is presented in really interesting ways with quite a few interactive options along the way. The site is huge & fairly sure we missed bits 🤦 there was also work going on up at the house so it was covered in scaffolding so I'm really glad that the tickets are valid for 12 months so we'll be able to go back 📷😎

We’ve been wanting to head out to Bletchley Park for a while and so glad we finally did! What an amazing place. The code breakers did such amazing work and the curators of this museum have done an amazing job capturing this part of history. The grounds are also beautiful, even on a rainy day!

Excellent experience. Very informative and well preserved and documented. You need a full day or two to get through it all thoroughly. My ticket provides a second visit, so will have to go back to finish. A self listening tour is provided.

Excellent museum - held my kids attention for 3 hours (11 and 13) which is no mean feat. The 13 year old asked to visit after learning about Alan Turing at school. The exhibits are structured in a very accessible way and there is a nice balance between human stories and the more technical story of the code breaking. Would highly recommend, book in advance, allow for 3-4 hours - there is a lot to see.

Fabulous place to visit, lots of history. My wife took me there as a birthday present. We had a lovely talk with Cara, the engagement officer.

Prepare to stay all day. We arrived for our timed entry at 11pm, took a tour, and then started on the exhibits. So fascinating, didn't even notice we'd missed lunch, and then it was closing time and we hadn't got to see it all. Will definitely be taking advantage of the buy once visit many times in year ticket.

Before traveling to London, friends of ours urged us to visit Bletchley Park where Britain’s most brilliant code breakers played a very critical role in helping to speed up the end of WW2 by one to two years by intercepting German transmissions that were being sent by secret coded messages. The guides who led the tours were well informed and touring the grounds was absolutely fascinating! We took a train to Bletchley Park and the trip from London took about an hour but it was the highlight of our vacation and well worth the excursion.

Very interesting. History of the second world war code breakers. Phenomenal people. The site is very well kept and clean and tidy. It does somewhat lack in exhibits and furniture. Lots of empty rooms with story boards

Lots to see and learn on this sprawling estate. The guides are very informative, although you do have the option of picking up your own "listening guide" if you're in a smaller group. You can easily spend the whole day here and still not cover most things. I was so engrossed in learning about this place, I completely forgot to stop for lunch - don't make that mistake, as there's a wonderful café here

Brilliant, educational fascinating glimpse into the work that helped end WWII two years early. Well laid out with audio and visual aids. Suitable for wheelchair access but there is quite a large area to cover if you want to see it all. Small but adequate cafe and interesting gift shop

Great place to take a 3 year old - can touch everything and explore a bit of history while using items from the old times. Great little cafe and sweets shop inside.

Great place for children. They have telephone, transportation, music, toy, and England in the past sections which children can explore. The cake at the cafe is delicious. Toilet is clean. Outdoor, they have big green yard which is great for kids to run around in summer, play ground, ship train, and concrete cow display. It's a fun educational place! They now have little city as well!

We had a great time here! Took my girls - 5 & 9 and one of their friends. It was full of surprises and lots of fun, hands-on things to do. Staff were great - a little clingy at times (sometimes you just want to explore things on your own and not get stuck into an exhaustive presentation) but they are all volunteers and very kind. Some ongoing improvements are being made, and so it is a bit of a “work-in-progress”, but what they do have on offer was pretty neat for all ages. Plus the price of entry is good for a whole year! So, yeah. A very pleasant family day out.

*****A hidden gem!***** When looking for things to do with the children during the Easter break I stumbled across the MK museum on a Google search. At first I was a bit unsure, to pay £40.00 up front for a family of 5 I thought was a tad expensive. Considering most museums are free and rely on donations I left it and didn't continue to proceed to book out. However as the days passed, I kept going back to the Google page and after reading the reviews I thought nothing ventured, nothing gained. Off we went on our travels. Travelling from Northampton by car we were there in no time (which was a bonus for the kids) and we pulled up at the car park. We were greeted by a very nice man who told us all about the boat sitting in the front of the car park. Going through the main entrance the people at reception were very polite and then explained that our ticket gave us free entry again and again for a full 12 months. 🎉 After a quick pic with the snowman ⛄we were told that their was an Easter hunt and the kids would be offered free chocolate in return for finding the coloured eggs around the grounds. This in itself was enough to make my 3 children happy, but we were all blown away when we opened the doors to the house and went in to what I can only say is like an Aladdin's cave. The volunteers that work there are beyond lovely. They have a true passion for the objects and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with us. Usually in museums you aren't allowed to touch anything, but I loved when they said "please do touch, just don't break!". They wanted you to examine all the musical instruments, didn't mind how many times we turned a dial or pressed the keys of the piano. They let you look at the old fashioned Hoover's, play with the toys in the toy area, heat bread on the old fashioned stove and yes, eat the toast too. We loved how everything just flowed from room to room. The post office with it's tuck shop was a huge thumbs up and we all loved going through the old fashioned shops. Everywhere we went there was always someone to talk to. I think my children enjoyed the old fashioned school very much and of course the fantastic telephone section. The grounds outside were very open. We took a picnic and managed to sit on the benches provided. There is a tea room which was lovely and the hubby enjoyed a cake whilst the kids played on the small play area. For me my favourite place has to be the transport building. There was lots to see and again the kids were allowed to touch and play with certain objects. The final building we went to was currently being used to display items/facts about Paralympics. We didn't spend as long in this building, but we all enjoyed carrying out a few sports and the children loved the colouring area. After a good 4 hours and after finding all the hidden eggs, we decided to call in a day. Going through the exit they have a very small gift shop, which made my youngest happy. The staff asked if we had enjoyed ourselves and if we were aware of the event days they have there. We were told that as we had paid for entry today, we were allowed to go to the event days free of charge for the full 12 months. 🎉🎉 I can't recommend this museum enough. There is something for everyone and I don't think you will come away disappointed.

Really friendly, volunteer ran and interesting day out. Entry gives free unlimited return access for 12 months. Lots of varied content. Some items could do with better signage, but only a minor complaint and the café is excellent I should add!

We loved it! Volunteers are really helpful. They took their time with the children. My 3 kids really had fun. They loved the magician. We were there until 4.30 and we had to rush to finish it all. Well definitely come back as we got a family pass for the whole year!!

Amazing museum that's is local and runs mang different great events on weekends throughout the year.... and the cafe and cakes are amazing (made by one of the staff members for aprox 20years) Well done to all the volunteers

Great place to visit. There is something for every one. The volunteers are all good for answering questions and giving information. We had a lovely time with Neil in The Print Room, he was so engaging and explaining everything. Not expensive to visit. We took a picnic. Lots of parking. The only thing that could be improved is admittance. It needs 2 people when first opening to admit everyone.

luckily visited this Milton Keynes Museum today on her 50th birthday, there are many vintage and historical things can be seen or even tried. Both adults and kids would enjoy this place. This is also a nice place for people taking photos.

I visited this museum the other day and I was very impressed by how much I could see, the children enjoyed this visit, the staff were very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, I only had 2 hours at my disposal. We will definitely come back

Lived in Milton Keynes all my life and I'm sorry to say it's my first visit. Fabulous museum reminding me of some of the great history our place has. With your entrance fee it entitles you to free further visits for a year. Great place for all the family. Hats off to all the volunteers who help make this museum so great.

Lovely little museum, I went during the Easter event and the historical actors knew their stuff about the practices they were exhibiting. The activities were good for young children and the exhibits about the railways were interesting

Different kind of museum I have seen in uk inside of the museum is made like a small ally with shops and all the victorian shops are there with actual people, the cobbler , post office , victorian kitchen , cinema and lots of interactive things are there. Seeing the museum is worth of money and you get a pass to visit the museum for a year There was a new gallery but unfortunately it was closed when we visiting it

Took my daughter and her friend out for the day. Amazing place, so interesting. We didn't manage to walk all the way round, so we will be back, as th ticket last you for a while year. We got a family ticket, 2 adults and 2 kids £40. All the volunteers there, are very knowledgeable and supper friendly. Tea room, a nice stop after walking around, for a cup of tea and freshly homemade cakes. We spend a good 3 hours there.

Fascinating place with lots of 'hands-on' for kids and very knowledgeable volunteers on hand for extra information

Great place to spend the afternoon give if at least a few hours if you want to fully appreciate it as it's bigger than it looks. They do have various events running over the weekend so check in advance if it's to your liking. The staff was very friendly most of which are volunteers.
