Good for adults and children. There are prams, dolls houses, and a railway in both the 'loft' and the garden. Rod Moore, who runs the museum, is a great guy and will take great pleasure in giving you a tour. He was recently awarded an MBE for his longstanding dedication to this museum. Fun for all the family.
