    £2.50 an hour for the kiddies to let off steam in soft play (babies free). But worth booking ahead on website after school and weekends to guarantee a place.

    Modern building with good facilities makes perfect place for the permanent exhibits & the temporary, specialist exhibitions. Special Forces in March 2018 was particularly engaging & informative.

    Great new museum. Now reopened after a three year closure and a multi-million pound refurb. Loads to see and do for the whole family.

    Great collections of everything war-related. It may take up a minimum of two hours to go through all of the exhibitions.

    This museum dedicated to the history of the British Army kicks off with 'Redcoats', a gallery that starts at Agincourt in 1415 and ends with the American War of Independence. Read more

    You WILL get lost, it's a bit of a maze. But there's somecool stuff, especially in the Napoleonic/19th century area, which was very quiet when I was there.

    Extremely engaging, for young and old. Spend some time in the WWI trench. Grubby and chilling

    Amongst the uniforms, weapons and paintings on display is a huge model of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, based on meticulous research by Capt Siborne who made and painted all the soldiers himself!

    Predictably, weapons feature prominently in here: the 2,500 edged weapons, 200 pole arms and 1,850 firearms should keep bloodthirsty teenagers interested. Read more
