This is an interesting place to visit, but i think it would be better for children. A bit on the pricey side. More

Visited yesterday with my father, we spent just over an hour here and both thought that it was a cute attraction and worth the visit. Staff were helpful and the exhibits were pitched to appeal to all age ranges. Would visit again. More

Fascinating caves and a great one for the family - a bit madame tussauds! But really good fun. Long walk up hill to get there but worth it. Nice little cafe nearby as well. More
