Don't miss the dressing up and underground train

It's great fun! The little underground train and the dressing up was my favourite.

The mail rail is across the road from the main museum

The mail rail trains & main museum are across the road from each other, but not in the same place. It's well worth the trip over though. Can't imagine kids will love it, but old blokes will! Also if you're over 6 ft tall you probably won't fit comfortably in the little trains.
