Quirky find and all staff so passionate and knowledge and made the visit. Have a chance to make a clay pot, play some games and make some jewellery. The Crannog unfortunately has burnt down but in the process of rebuilding across the Loch ready for opening in summer 2023 so will revisit then. Worth a visit and kids will love it!
Such a interesting site! The staff are passionate about the era and helping others to understand how people of the iron age lived. The artisans are good at their crafts and explaining how their work would have fit into the iron age society. Definately worth the visit!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Super sweet staff, right by the lake. Had 3 bands playing in 3 different locations by the lake, for the people were divided into 3 groups, so it didn't get too crowded. Which was actually nice, it gave the feeling of intimacy. It has very traditional old fashioned seating, everything as a matter of fact is natural, surrounded by trees, natural tree benches, flower decorations. You can get soft drinks and coffee/tee at the entrance as well as some snacks. Very homey warm feeling, very relaxing vibe.
Truly amazing place to visit at a great price. I visited with my wife and kids and we all had a great day making our own pots, paint & brushes as well as jewelry. We all learnt lots about the Viking times and about crannogs over Scotland. They are currently relocating across the loch, all their plans sounds fantastic and if we come back to Kenmore we would certainly go again. All the staff and volunteers were very friendly and informative. If you are near by definitely worth a visit. Parking easy and near by. Kid & dog friendly.
A wonderful museum. Despite the replica crannog burning down 18months ago the museum thrives. There is so much to see and do here and the hosts are incredible. One of the best tours I have ever done with great interactive sections where you can learn so much about the times and people. I would recommend this museum to everyone and there is something for everybody to see, do and and enjoy. Thanks for the great tour and I can’t wait to return in the summer time.
A unique experience if you like ancient objects and to learn about the ways people lived a VERY long time ago. Expert guides will do their best to answer your questions. We would love to mention Jason in particular as his enthusiasm carried us away also we loved his style! The centre is located at beautiful surroundings which of course also adds to this great day out. Highly recommended gem!
Wonderful place. The volunteer staff were incredible, demonstrating metalwork, wood-carving, food-production and many other activities to the visitors. Location is phenomenal. The highlight of our holiday.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Just happened to be the rise and shine festival on the weekend we visited. Dogs were welcome so we brought muttly with us. He wasn’t allowed to go into the museum part so one of us has to miss out which was disappointing. They offered to let me through separately once the group has finished but I decided not too as wanted to go round with the kids. Staff were very knowledgable and passionate which was lovely to see. Planning permission for the new site has just been granted so they were extra chatty. There was lots going on, and we spoke to lots of the staff and guests about the various crafts etc. kids had a shot of making prints on cloth from Ghana Older chap telling stories at a campfire was great fun as well. And now we know where midges come from thankfully there were no midges around Will def visit the new site next year when they are up and running
A great place to learn about ancient times in Scotland. Beautiful, interactive and interesting tour including a small museum and outside activities. The kids and us enjoyed it a lot. Next year they will move to the other side of the lake, trying to rebuild the structure s of old times The staff was very friendly as well!
Arrived on a whim and were delighted to find the Celts are Coming festival was on, so we not only got to visit the museum and see some pottery, but also watched bronze casting, made clay pots and jewellery, spoke with spinners, weavers and leather-workers and had a lovely time in the unexpected sunshineVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
