I would highly recommend the museum of Lincolnshire life to everyone. I've taken my children here a few times and they absolutely love it and it's lovely to watch the change in their interest over the different visits. My daughter (who this year turns 16) was just like all other children the first few times we came as in she ran around, pointing at things she recognised and loved running around the playground outside then she started actually looking at the exhibits and noticing things she'd been told about at school. Now she's doing history for one of her GCSE's she could spend hours in there learning about the different things in there but now she can see her younger brother (just turned 9) looking at a few things but mostly being the little run around she once was đ Considering this is normally a really good, really fun, really informative place to take your children or just to have a wander round yourself. Absolutely brilliant. Can't recommend highly enough đ The people that work thwre are always willing to help with any queries or questions you may have. We went back over Easter and took part in their Easter extravaganza which included an Easter egg hunt-we found 20 out of a possible 22 and my son loved listening to the printer and visiting craft corner (as it got nicknamed by my children đ) An honest, fun and informative afternoon out. An easy 5...
   Read moreWhat a wonderful experience, I had a lovely afternoon with my partner on a lovely warm day, it was very interesting and I learnt a lot as my partner is the one from Lincoln and not me as Iâm a Yorkshire lass myself it was great to see how Lincoln was in the 1900âs and what home life would have been like as well as seeing the war and military exhibitions, I myself wasnât too interested about this but my partner was very intrigued , I liked looking at all the old transport and the first tank as well as what essential shops looked like such as the post office or the pharmacy and ladies clothing shops. The staff were very helpful and kind as it was both our first visits and they described the museum layout with detail and made us aware of where the immunities where located and I noticed that the museum was very accessible as they had universally accessible automatic doors and wider corridors and door ways to give more access which was great, the courtyard was small but lovely for enjoying the sun and cleanliness was great too. And to make it even better it was free entry and the museum wasnât busy or too overwhelming. Thank you for a lovely afternoon out and we hope to come back and have an explore upstairs at the other...
   Read moreThis place is totally free to visit. There is lots to see and tons of info. My wife and I spent a long time here. The war stuff was interesting and if you like big machines like steam engines it is brilliant. I would definitely bring the grandkids for a look around. You can't go wrong with it being free. There is a play area in the outside bit which will allow little ones to run around. The cafe is basic, but very cheap. I had a latte. Probably one of the worst, but it was warm and sweet and as I was totally pooped, just what I needed. Staff were really welcoming. If combined with something else, I would say it is well worth travelling and hour or so to see. Still not seen the shop, which is at the end. Voluntary donations are welcome and despite being a tight Yorkshireman, I feel like contributing as it is a very worthwhile cause. Don't be put off by the Lincolnshire angle. Although there are links, the stories told...
