Many interesting exhibits on two floors though there is a lift provided. Would agree with comments on opening times. 10am to 4pm for such an important museum split over so many sites isn't really acceptable especially in the summer when you have shelled out a load of money to come here and you may have stayed overnight like I have. Also, you really need to have a better way of paying for car parking than only by cash. They need to take cards as well or publicise a means of paying when you buy passports.

The museum of iron is located on the site of original iron foundry works, so a visit is a combination of both indoor displays and open air examination and view of the industrial remains in the site. Machinery and equipment that has been donated to the museum adds to and compliment the site based artifacts. Displays are well organised and will be of interest to both adults and children. The latter being especially thought of.

Confusing about which site is which and what they do. I don't know if Google will attach this to the right pin! Visited the museum about iron, interesting, also Ingenuity nearby which is science for children. You need to get someone to explain all the ticket options and discounts (eg English heritage) . NB parking is extra at the various sites £1/hour.

Great historical museum with lots of things to do everywhere, dine in restaurants pr coffee shops, bear, souvenir shops, etc. Easy to go to via public transport or taxi. Beautiful scenery surrounding it. There are tour available to book online where other museums are included.

An experience by itself. Only when one gets there can one experience it. Built in 1779 this Marvel of a construction is still intact.
