First i want to thank the girl on reception, she went out of her way to help us. Free Parking, Free Entry, Cheap Cafe and very interesting. I've been a few time and always find something i've missed. You can spend two or so hours here and young children will enjoy it. More

Loved all the replica shops rooms etc. so much detail in them all children will love it too. Opportunities to dress up for adults and children alike! Do read 'The Rules for Women Teachers' in the schoolroom (upstairs) very entertaining! It was very cold though when we were there! More

This is a fairly small, local museum, but lots to see. There was a working windmill (which still grinds flour), reconstructed rooms of a house and businesses, and a military museum. Plus the original tank from WWI that was built in Lincoln. Lots of information and examples of local manufacturing. Well worth a visit. More

Not fantastic...but still worth a visit, if you are in the area. Especially good for outings with both grandparents and grandchildren. Lots of memories and interesting room settings. More

As local Lincolnites we are regular visitors to the museum. It's a real curio cabinet of fascinating facts and treasure trove of days gone by. As it's free to enter we often venture up to the top of town on wet and windy days to while away an hour or so. As our kids are quite small I have yet... More

This is a free attraction and we found it an enjoyable and interesting experience. Caters for all age groups and the cafe was also excellent value for money. This must be Lincolns best attraction. More
