    The museum made history fun. Very interactive and allows children to touch and become interested. My daughter loved enlisting in WW1 and getting her picture taken.

    Smaller than the museum of natural science across the street but also very interesting. Oh, and did I mention it's free?

    I'd recommend coming earlier in the day if you wish to view plenty of exhibits before they close.
