Review
A museum that understands small children. Everything is touchable, role-play heavy and scaled for under-11s. Teens will be bored; five-year-olds will not want to leave. A northern rainy-day legend.
Our recommendation. The single best indoor pick if your children are under 8 and you are in Yorkshire.
