“They have done the outdoor play park up now the museum has reopened it's looking good my son enjoyed it . If you are going it can get very busy especially at the weekends when the sun comes out or school holidays. In my view the car park has changed and you now have to pay to park I recommend parking outside on one of the side roads and walk over to the outdoor park . Ice cream van is there too expect a wait for your ice cream”
