    We loved going on the miniature railway at the museum. The train goes round twice, and it looks like they are slowly making improvements. We booked a slot and paid online before getting there, it is a tad more expensive more than other miniature railways we have been on, but admission to the museum itself is free so not bad considering....!

    I remember going on this when it was just a straight track with a few turns. Seems to have changed a lot now

    We loved our visit to the Museum and this miniature train ride was a great addition. The ride is a little more expensive than some other miniature trains I have been on. But the Museum is free so we didn’t mind paying for the train. A discount for buying multiple tickets would be a good addition.

    If zero stars were possible, that’s what I’d chose! We queued to buy tickets when the machine froze. The man on the desk said tickets were available to buy on a machine at the front but it was cash only. Not having any cash on us and no one able to tell us where there was a cash machine I had to tell my boys that they weren’t able to go on the train ride today. My 5 year old has ADHD and Autism and my 4 year old has severe Autism so they did not manage this very well and cried. One of the men managing the train system said “Well there’s no need to have a fit about it” they then all stood and started at my boys because they were still crying. Children of such a young age being told that a ride they were looking forward to is not possible would be upset, let alone with their additional needs. We were then called back to the main ticket booth as they said that the card machine was working again only for it to fail again and be told to go back to the cash ticket booth. By this point my boys were really upset with all the changing and moving around. I sincerely hope that these members of staff receive some training in Autism and how unexpected changes can be really challenging for people on the spectrum. The duty manger on shift who received our complaint in person today will hopefully see that this happens.
