Milton Keynes Museum

Wow. MK Museum surpassed all my expectations. What unbelievable value for money for a SAHM and toddler. I have taken my two year old son here twice in two weeks and he's not stopped talking about it. The highlight so far has been the working water wheel which we didn't know was there until we visited. Thank you to Paul and Diane (Thursday crew) for being so kind and helpful, showing my young son the music boxes and pianola, Ben (Wednesday) for the sewing machine and shoe polishing machine demonstrations, and John (Wednesday) for the many many(!) walks through the farming hall. What an absolute joy you all have been - so encouraging, making my son's visit so hands on and educational. He's already asking to come back! The only thing that's been a sticky point is that some of the volunteers have different opinions/ rules on what young children are allowed to engage with and touch.

Thoroughly enjoyed the visit yesterday to the museum. Initially thought it was a smaller site but there’s so much to see. The lady on reception was fantastic. Approachable, knowledgeable & very compassionate.

It's funny how when you are getting older you are drawn back to your roots. Mine are in Wolverton and this museum holds my roots. The tram was driven by my grandfather, I remember the garage and my father bought me a moped like that when I was 16. All the exhibits are interesting and all the volunteers are really easy to talk to. (A shout out to the chap with a stick in the transport hall) I am coming back soon with another relative and hope to donate a few small heirlooms
