Heidi TuckerOctober 13, 2017Kids play area £5 for 45 mins. I went with my 2 year old, I think he was too young. Very nicely done and for £5 its worth a visit. It was very quiet when we were there only one other child there.
- Jeanette MaylandOctober 31, 2022The mail rail is without a doubt the best bit and it’s worth the entire entrance fee! The exhibition is very kid-friendly. It’s 1H - 1H 30 min experience in total.
James GillOctober 6, 2018Mail Rail is fascinating! And the staff are very knowledgable, passionate, and friendly. A great day out – especially on a rainy day.
- JacquesJanuary 2, 2018Fascinating museum about the history of the Royal Mail Postal Service; before crossing the road and riding the Mail Rail train. Great cafe and gift shop.
Alexia KAugust 11, 2018Very very cool new London museum. It nicely shows the history of how post has evolved in the uk and how societies change. Must visit
