    The Knights Joust is a must do for the kids. Amazing collection of swords in the Oriental Section and the Hall of Steel is something not to miss! Best of all - its free to get in!

    The museum is a wonderful look at the history of war and weapons. It offers a wide variety of cultures as well as activities, making it a must visit if in the city. Don't miss the crossbow range!

    Great day out and it's free! Realistically you'll be paying £5 for 3 hours parking but it's worth every penny. The exhibitions are fantastic!

    Amazing inside lots to see and it is free. The directions are poor though and I only found it after several attempts.

    When you use the lift at the back on the left hand side, press the circular button to the left of the arrows because it's not clear where you're supposed to press to call the lift. Read more

    the horse show is great for children and they can go and see the horses & speak to the riders afterwards.

    Want a challenge? See if you can count the 2,500 items in the Hall of Steel! It forms the largest mass display of arms and armour since the 19th century.

    Who is this place even aimed at? Why does it even exist? It's just a load of old swords and really angry staff members who shout at you if you take pictures of the exhibits. Glad I didn't pay!!
