We come here a lot. Nice cafe overlooking the park so we can sit and enjoy a coffee whilst the kids play. Clever mining theme park with some different features to your usual swings and slides. Often have special activities for school holidays. I loved the ice sculptures in January, all included in the admission fee (which is very cheap and you get an annual pass!)

Really enjoyed the museum. Sensible price to enter, £13 for two. Interesting info and time warp back to points in time like miners strike etc. Nice play area for kids as well as nice cafe we thought reasonably priced.

A good insight of working conditions for miners.My day was a fitter at a mine in Yorkshire Si it was of interest to me, never having seen the working parts of a mine.The coffee in the cafe was good too.

Very thought provoking and very well put together museum.The museum is located near the village of Ashington in Northumberland. It's a museum and heritage site that offers visitors a unique perspective on the region's history, particularly its coal mining heritage.It is situated within the historic Woodhorn Colliery, a former coal mine. It houses exhibitions and displays that provide insights into the lives of miners and the coal mining industry in Northumberland. Visitors can learn about the challenges, triumphs, and everyday experiences of the people who worked in the mines.Make sure you visit the miners Art gallery to see some wonderful paintings.

Fabulous place, allow all day though and take the tours! The life of a miner and his family in the North West is explored in an interesting and accessible exhibition, the pit painters paintings are amazing, worth the visit on its own. There is a very good cafe, a play area, union banners, art installations and a good little shop. There is a short ride on a narrow gauge train. The mine above ground is fascinating, the staff are helpful and friendly. We'll worth the admission price and you can go back all year

A historic former 19th-century coal mine that is now a museum and heritage centre for art and local historic relics.A self-guided walk around the outdoor site with information boards explaining the buildings' use.The cutter is a modern building that houses the local archive, cafe, and an excellent interactive exhibition showcasing life as a miner up until the mine's closure.

Excellent museum depicting the working environment of miners during the Woodhorn mine days. Small children's play area with limited seating and a pleasant cafe with a few menu cold choices. Eat in or outside.
