Fun for All Ages

The Hat Works Museum is an absolute gem! My younger ones loved the hands-on activities, and my teens enjoyed learning about the historical evolution of hats. I was amazed at how informative and fun it was – we all walked away with a little more knowledge (and a lot of cool hats!).

An Unexpected Delight!

Visiting Hat Works was a highlight of our trip. The vintage hats are amazing, and the kids had so much fun making their own little creations. The staff were lovely and knowledgeable, and the whole place felt warm and welcoming. Highly recommend it!
