  • Great magazine!!

  • Excellent museum. Considering it's free, the exhibits are very well put together with topical and interesting themes. There are ample areas for toddlers to run around in and all of the staff I met with were extremely helpful and polite. The acquarium is small but fantastic, my daughter adored it. The gardens are very well maintained. Highly recommended for a very satisfying day out with a young demanding child!
