Loved this place. The buildings were fascinating. My daughter and her friend loved the musical playground piano steps and the old school house with the belt! Don't forget to go to the sweet shop before it closes.

Great experience with lots to see and learn about the way of life back in he day. You can meet highland cows, visit old houses and explore the working of old school, post office, farm and many more. Totally worth a visit!

This was my second visit to the museum and I love the variety of buildings and friendly volunteers. Car parking is £2 and entry is by donation.It's quite large, and probably takes 2 hours to take a quick look at all of the buildings. I would recommend the guidebook if wanting to understand what you're viewing as there are minimal signs at most places.Toilets are clean, and there are a couple of benches throughout if needing a rest. Cafe and gift shop are also in the centre near the car park.

Child friendly historical museum. It is Free. However, donations are how the museum stays open and free. Please donate what you can afford. You will spend about 2 hours if you view the entire exhibit

Visited in October and had a lovely time! Did not realize it was such a large place, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to explore! Entry is by donation only, and they have detailed guide books available for purchase, which I would highly recommend as the guide book gives you a lot of extra information that is wonderful to learn. The café is also pretty good food. If you enjoy cultural and trade work history, I would highly recommend. Perfect place for kids, tons of activities for them. I would pair this visit with the Highland Wildlife Park in Kingussie for a nice weekend of activities. We went to both in one day since our visit was short, but we so wish we had more time for both!

Loved this place, and didn’t even get to see all of it in one visit! The 18th century exhibit was used as a film set in the first season of ‘Outlander.’ They have people around telling about the history. It’s about a mile long, so lots of walking! They have a cafe and bathrooms as well. Donations accepted of about 11 pounds per person, but it is free.

Interesting historical buildings and context. It is certainly worth a visit to see how people lived over time in Scotland. The toilets are also clean, and the cafe has strong coffee.

This lovely place was recommended by a friend. I didn’t realize that some of Outlander, season 1, was filmed here, so that was a special bonus surprise (particularly since our trip to Scotland started with seeing Sam Heughan in the airport).This open air museum had SO much to see and explore. Plenty of easy walking, animals (highland cows!) educational historical bits, as well as restrooms and a little cafe and gift shop. Plan to spend at least half a day here, it is well worth your time and it will take that long to see it all.
