Thanks for your review Corneleus. I am confused by your comment regarding the entrance fee because our most expensive individual ticket is £6.80, all our other tickets work out a lot cheaper that. It's great to hear you enjoyed our museum and thought we are a valuable addition to the town. I hope you will consider visiting us again the future. Thanks again.
Hi Cjs_family, Thanks for your review. It's fantastic to hear you liked our museum and the fact we inspired you to create your own weird and wonderful marble run! In reply to your points, we have a lift at the back on the entrance hall for pushchairs and wheelchair users and we encourage visitors to use this facility. To save on space within the museum, we also ask those who can to leave their pushchair under the stairs at the entrance. February half term does tend to be one of our busiest holiday periods and if the weather is bad it can get a little active. To ease the busy stages we have more members of staff on site to help customers and we emphasize tickets provide entry for the whole day. As long as visitors keep their tickets they can pop in and out as many times as they like on that day. I'm really pleased to hear you are a returning visitor, thank you very much for visiting and for writing such a helpful and kind review.
Great loads of activities but you can easily walk past it and not notice it but I definetly recommend it
Well 3 retired gents had a fun time at the Mad Museum. If you like hands on then go and have fun. Great use of odd bits and bobs just push the button and watch it work.
Took my kids (Boy of 10 and girl of 8), and spent a very happy couple of hours enjoying the kinetic art. The hosts are all lovely, very knowledgeable and helpful. The kids are asking to go back all ready. Highly recommended
On entering, I was quite excited. Once inside, it became apparent that the vibe was more college / uni exhibition rather than museum. The pieces were very clever and rustic. Lots of interaction which was great. As a grown couple, we got through it in less than an hour.Clearly a lot of hard work went into the pieces, but feel the place is more for children, they'd have a great time.
Went here with my brother (24), son (3 1/2) and daughter (9 months) and we had a great time! So much hands on and interesting concepts for art & science, we were all watching, from 37 years old to 9 months old! I dont know how often the exhibits change but we will definitely go again in about 6 months time and they do bday parties which sounds interesting too. Neat little gift shop at the entrance/exit with a range of things at differsnt prices so you arent hugely out of pocket.Bought a gift voucher for a bday present, went down really well.Stroller / buggy park at bottom of entrance - open to street so dont leave anything valuable, staff offered to watch bag for me behind their desk bc wasnt busyToilet available and change station at the back of the room, plenty big enough for little kids if youhave to change baby too. Parking - if have lots of kids use Arden street multi story parking. Closest to the pedestrian walkway in stratford where mad museum located (and less of a headache with wandering children!)
The Mad Museum is a fantastic place to spend an hour or two. Lots of really fun things to do and see that will amuse kids and adults alike.
Great way to spend an hour or so indoors...and no reference to William Shakespeare! Spent ages playing with all of the kinetic art - makes you feel like a school-kid again.
Great afternoon with my 17 month old watching the train whizz round and the clapping machine was a favourite! Marble run was awesome, can't recommend highly enough!
