Our visitors say it better than us. Here is a sample that describes what you can expect if you visit us:
“Exhibits well presented and well explained. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff to answer questions and give interesting facts. We didn’t know what to expect when we came here, but were very impressed and amazed by all the information given both on the signs and by staff. Great place to visit!!! Loved the “Try Me” exhibits and facts given by the “characters” from whom we find out the workers’ point of view of their job. Thank you.”
