It's a lovely building and well cared for. Plenty of displays for young people and interesting for adults too. Some of the exhibits are quite heavy on reading about items on display with little interactive elements which doesn't hold attention children quite so much. But it's free and worth a visit for around half a day. Some picnic tables outside and benches inside to eat at if you bring your own, or there is a cafe available too.
Nice museum, was before the renovations and is quite nice as well now. Children can have a great time exploring and is quite engaging, is just in my opinion the museum is missing It's essence after renovation.nMaking Egypt exhibition is nice and I recomand going if you are there.
We came to this free museum as two adults, and spent about 30-45 minutes wandering through the exhibits. If wanting to read everything, allow double the time.nnThe ground level has quite a wide assortment of childhood items, like toys from different time periods and geographies dollhouses, toy soldiers, puppets, and more, a little clothing, and some displays on the alphabet and colours for the under-2s.nnUpstairs is quite interesting - I really liked the design for our needs area, which had interesting innovations like for prosthetic to cheap laptops and unique glasses to help those in impoverished areas. It also explored things like fabrics, tools that help us learn, and how we travel - and how these have changed through the years.nnNow, we were one of the only couples without small kids. I think both young and old can appreciate it as there is interesting history to hands-on exhibits, however I hadn’t counted on the open plan of the museum allowing sounds to travel really well. Just for awareness depending on your situation.nnSmall cafe, gift shop, and ok toilets in the lower ground floor.
The museum is free. Our first visit after refurbishment. Love the new setup with emphasis on play and learning. Ample space generally incorporating the museum exhibitions, design craft, and workshops. Also cafe restaurant.nnThe children had fun with their own performance in the theatre room.nnThe current paid exhibition about Egypt was informative and attractive. Has a trail and various activities to engage.nnThe children want to go again!
From looking at all the reviews, I seem to be the outcast here. I had been to the museum a long time ago before it went under renovation and decided to return to take my kids for a visit considering all the positive reviews. Maybe it’s just us but none of us liked it. We were bored very quickly. I don’t know how best to explain it other than it felt all over the place with their displays, somewhat disjointed.nnOn the positive side, the place is immaculate and free lockers are available to store your belongings.
