I love the Dorman. It's quirky and interesting with plenty to see, set in an absolutely beautiful building. Those little half circle stained glass windows and the taxidermy animals in reception are some of my fave things. (The animals I think have been there since I was a child, so love the nostalgia) I visited a few years back, after having not been since my childhood.

Disappointing to say the least - the cakes did look appealing but decided against it as we couldn't decide if it would be worth it. All in all probably wouldn't go back. It's a...

Always something going on here at the museum and especially at school holiday times when events are on for children. Free entry to the museum, though some activities are at a small cost. Went for the Jungle boat ride with grandchildren to which we booked online ahead. Wearing an interactive headset we set off in an adventure.
