I went here in October and we were blown away! The booking system was easy , and it was clear we had to keep our masks on we felt very safe with the measures in place. Well worth the money! 10/10.

Museum of Childhood

Reviewed By Steve_Lincs1 - Lincoln, United Kingdom

My girlfriend and I visited here in March and it was lovely and quiet. I had not been before but staying in the area we looked for National Trust properties to try as we are members. The museum itself is on several floors and is well laid out and presented. There are many examples of toys with several thousand additional items in storage that are rotated through for display from time to time. The displays are interesting and engaging for adults and children alike. A great visit as part of a day out here.

I would recommend this experience to anyone that has the opportunity to visit. I phoned prior to booking due to a couple of issues and all the staff I spoke to before and during my trip made me feel welcome throughout, they were all extremely friendly and helpful. As for the actual experience it's really well laid out with loads to see and do for all ages, you get to learn about the history of Silverstone and see so many different aspects of racing, the displays and information are clear and informative and there's almost too much to see in one go. There's also the added bonus of the heritage trail to walk on an old part of the circuit and if you're really lucky you might get to see some on track racing. Highly recommended ????

An amazing place full of fantastic and exiting rooms. From the moment you enter to the moment you leave you are constantly noticing new things, from the realistic sights, sounds and smells to the brilliant stepping stones. A great experience, which our kids absolutely loved, especially meeting the real Robin Hood and Little John. This was our third visit and I was pleasantly surprised at the changes and the attention to detail. I highly recommend a visit and will be returning again. A visit to our historic city would not be complete without a a visit to the Robin Hood Experience.
