Really nice place. Many things to learn, fun for kids as well.nNote to the staff, please revise some of the info tables. There wasn’t humans in Europe 400k years ago
Onky had a little time but what i saw was lovely
It was a lovely Saturday experience. The bits with the rowing experience, when you get to actually row and watch the river on the screen in front of you, and the tunnel with the story of The Wind in the Willows were my favourite ones.nRegarding the ivory model of a boat from India, I really hope that you will remove it : nAn innocent elephant died for it.
It’s just wow u need to visit the place kids love it, amazing ….
Situated along the serene banks of the Thames, the River and Rowing Museum in Henley isn't just a destination; it's a voyage into the world of aquatic wonder.nnPicture this: rowing history meets interactive exhibits in a building that's as sleek as a racing shell. The museum's design itself is an ode to the sleek and streamlined world of rowing, giving you a taste of what it's like to glide gracefully through the water.nnFrom antique boats that seem straight out of a Jules Verne novel to the riveting history of the Henley Royal Regatta, the museum takes you on a fascinating voyage through time. It's like a time machine where you trade your oars for a paddle through history.nnBut it's not all history and no play. The museum knows how to keep things exciting. With hands-on activities for the little and not-so-little adventurers, you can try your hand at rowing, even if your only experience with it involves a canoe and a dodgy life vest.nnThe pièce de résistance? The Wind in the Willows exhibition! Follow in the webbed footsteps of Ratty and Mole as you explore the world of Kenneth Grahame's beloved characters. It's a whimsical journey down memory lane that'll make you want to jump in a boat and explore the riverbank yourself.nnSo, whether you're a seasoned rowing enthusiast or just someone who appreciates a well-crafted museum, Henley's River and Rowing Museum will leave you feeling like you've embarked on a memorable adventure. Dive in and let the tides of history carry you away – you'll thank us later!
