Fantastic museum! Visited for the first time and was blown away! Plenty to see and the staff were fantastic. Particularly impressed with the aids available for those on the spectrum. The rucksacks etc at each location meant our son got to really enjoy the experience. Thank you ❤️

Really enjoyed a family trip to the museum. A very very impressive taxidermy collection of very large animals...a bit sad but the specimens were collected many moons ago during the age of exploration.Lovely activities for children within the museum with a good handling collection.Children get some accessories to dress up with on arrival should they wish, which was a nice touch.We had a picnic in the formal gardens which were beautiful bin the late summer. We loved the walled garden especially.There was a nice woodland walk also and a nice café on site which we enjoyed a cream tea at in the afternoon. Very tasty. Recommend!

It's taxidermy on steroids, not too busy and has amazing gardens and estate home tours. If you aren't big on animal hunters, I don't recommend gallery's 1 to 3, but the gallery's of the Powell daughters anthropological finds are amazing shows of the cultures seen

Been here many times since I was a child. Very interesting and a huge collection of artefacts and stuffed animals from all over Africa. I feel like they have made the museum smaller?I like the interactive stuff toward the back that you can physically touch and feel.Vegans and animal lovers may not appreciate all the stuffed animals but for better or worse they’re there and can be used and viewed for educational purposes. It’s history.

Excellent history of travel and animals from Africa. Very well presented. Can't fault the exhibition for the price. Would have paid three times admission price for what you got. Well worth a visit.

Very impressive museum with a lot of African animals. The rooms with the animals were impressive. We also really liked the beautiful gardens. They old house was nice to see and the staff was very friendly and explained a lot of things about the family and the house.

Such an interesting day out, my son was fascinated with all of the exhibits. Very reasonable admission especially as there is lots to see. The gardens are beautiful and fun to explore and the house is stunning. A great day out
