Lovely museum with loads to see and activities to do. I took my daughter here today and she found it really interesting (which for a six year old, trying to find anything that can capture her attention is a challenge but she watched the videos around the museum and took time to try and read the information on the displays - she was fascinated by so much of the museum). We did the workshop that was available for today which for £5 was brilliant value as we had a hour of learning about physics for kids (using paper airplanes) and Rosie Rivet. The lady who ran the workshop was lovely and the staff overall were fantastic as my daughter lost her toy lion and someone had handed him in and the ladies at the desk were helpful. Felt the cafe was pretty reasonably priced and the sandwiches were tasty. Given the price of the ticket is valued for a year we will come back to do the gallery which we missed due to time constraints. It’s worth a visit if you are in the area.

Any amazing museum. Well laid out, you just walkiling through time. The medal room is the best layout of any display of medals, showing real respect. I would have given it 5 stars but the cafe was really basic and nothing for children. The gift shop again is spars. But still worth the visit

The museum was great. Fortunately, it was very quiet on the day we visited, so we were able to take our time and see everything. We went to the cafe here for a much-needed cup of tea.

Visited as a free entry on armed forces day. Way bigger than I previously thought. Lots of dress up clothes for children. Cafe adequate, poor selection of cakes. 2 cans and 2 brownies £10. Spent roughly an hour. Surprised no cafe external space.

Complete with a cafe on the mezzanine level there is lots to see here from the Royal Engineers history. Wonderful outdoor exhibitions, but be prepared for HUGE indoor collections, through the ages. My only constructive criticism is the shop was far too small, with very few items. The museum is well laid out with a broad range of items & interpretation, so still a 5* visit. Staff very friendly too.

Good for a couple of hours mooching about. Some great displays. My kids loved it. Very few places have the space to house a harrier jump jet, various military tanks and vehicles and the chronological exhibits highlighting the history of the Corps is brilliant. Free entry to veterans, but cheap enough if not and tickets last all year! Events are always good and the cafe is a great place fir meetings and chats that even cater for little ones.

A really good museum. Everything from armoured vehicles outside to well organised displays inside. The medal room is well worth seeing, as it contains several VC's.
