Love this place - so authentic and moving. Even the canteen serves war time fayre - meat pie & stew & dumplings were excellent. The attention to detail was incredible - it even tells you on a blackboard what was happening 65 years ago in WWII on the day of your visit. Really well thought out lay out - all... more

My husband, two sons (aged 12 and 10) and I visited Eden Camp in February 2008 - and felt that we were frozen in time, the 1940s! It was amazing! Although I'm only 41, my father (who had me at a late age) fought in the second world war (he passed away 20 years ago), and I felt very moved... more

My family and I visited the Eden Camp today. We were a party of 2 adults, a 13 yr old girl and an 11 yr old boy. We, the adults thoroughly enjoyed it. However, there are about 30 huts to visit, each with a different war theme...the kids thought it was great up until hut 23 but then they lost... more

We do suffer somewhat from the pre-misconception that our museum is soley about guns and tanks and bombs - probably because our main 'theme' is the Second World War period. However, we have put in considerable time and effort in trying to achieve an even balance between covering the Home Front - what life was like for civilians in Britain...

I visited the Eden Camp on a weekday which is probablly not the best time as it was full of various school parties - I would imagine the best times are at the weekends or during the school holidays. This museum is excellent value for money and ideal for educational visits - it has 30 some odd huts all telling... more

We are very popular with school trips, teachers tell us that one hour spent at our museum is worth ten hours teaching the subject of World War Two in the classroom because we bring the subject to life for the childen, so that they become interested and thus enthusiastic to learn more. Throughtout the year, Saturdays are our quietest day...

Please visit this amazing place. I dare you not to be moved by the experience. It has been so carefully thought out and from start to finish it makes you really think and appreciate what the war was like for everyone who lived through it. We were lucky enough to be there on a special day of rememberance and all... more
