The MAD Museum

Fantastic place to visit on your own, friends, family. Great display of mechanical things mostly made of wood or metal. Lots of funny things but also at least one gory military bunnies, one of them exploding so bare it in mind if your child is sensitive to that content. Loved it, will be back :

A freind recommended a visit. At first missed it as the entrance blended in with other shops. On first appearance on entry, it seemed small. But it was amazing and fun with interactive displays and an interesting cinema on other quirky designs. Overall spent just under 2hrs there. If had children, probably would have been there 3 hrs. Great for little ones too, with a big interactive play wall to create their own marble run. £7.80 adult fee to enter. We visited in a weekday which was quiet

Good place to bring the kids and spend maybe one hour to entertain them with the wonders of mechanics. The museum is quite interesting, but small. I gave them 4 stars because I asked the receptionist how big is the museum and he told me that is the whole floor, rven behind of some area that I couldn't see from reception... the reality is that there is no other large space, that's pretty much that you can see there. Is beautiful, is interesting, great for kids. Ideal to buy family tickets as would be a bit cheaper. Overall ok and I recommend them, there are different and interactive from the normal average museum.

This place was fantastic! I took my 8 year old son who is autistic. He likes to roam around and typically isn't engaged for long in museums/galleries, but this place was fantastic for him. It was wonderfully interactive, small enough for him to safely roam around whilst I kept an eye on him and not too busy. There were many highlights, but we really enjoyed the complex, massive marble runs and enjoyed watching these work for a long time. There was a side room where people could build a working cog model and run marbles down tracks on the wall. There's a small giftshop, a small cinema room, toilet facilities, helpful staff, disabled acces via a lift as the museum is on the first floor. We spent about an hour and a half in there and could have spent more time if we weren't hungry for lunch! Great place to spend some time!

Brilliant place to bring kids. Mechanical machines of various sizes, insane marble runs all activated by pressing buttons. We all had a good time and the kids absolutely loved it. Very good value.

Definitely a lovely museum, suitable for adult and kids. The art work is unique and fun. A perfect detour during a day out. I would have liked more educational material, information about the artwork including the decisions making of the art peace. However, the experience was fun and involving, staff is very friendly and toilets are clean. Whish the had more space to show more art work.

Small but delightful museum in the middle of Stratford, just a few minutes walk from Shakespeare's house. We spent a good two hours there our kids were 10 and 9 at the time of visit. It was fascinating watching all the mechanical sculptures some of them are basically fancy, complicated and very clever marble runs and then spending some time building our own marble runs on the wall and then on the table. The ones on the table are quite mind-blowing, make sure you spend enough time to figure them out! : To be honest, watching other parents and knowing myself, I wasn't sure who had more fun: the kids or the grownups? :

My 6 year old could have spent all day there... one of the best bits is before you even get inside, halfway up the stairs huge makeshift marble run. On the interactive scale, this is one of the best places we've been. I just wish it was bigger!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Absolutely fantastic museum! Full of interactive exhibits which will wow children and adults alike. Giant magnetic marble run for free play. Make sure to arrive with plenty of time as it closes at 4.30 and you'll want lots of time to take it all in. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Brilliant fun for all ages! Air con was very welcome. Toilets. Lift if you can't manage the stairs. Gift shop small Worth the entrance price.
