We visited for a trip on the steam boat and wasn’t disappointed, a beautiful river with the chug of the steam engine was magical, we saw marsh harrier, kingfishers and heron. We hadn’t planned to, but decided to do the museum as well..it was incredible, so many interesting displays, they went on and on! All brought to life by the amazing volunteers..so knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they do..a fantastic few hours, thank you!

I went with my two kids (6 and 3) and their granny during half term, as they'd put on a Halloween special with lots of themed activities, and we were so impressed by this little sleeper hit of a museum. Really interactive, lots to explore, great electric boat trip through the Broads with brilliant, knowledgeable local guides, a lovely little cafe and excellent, friendly staff. Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

We had a lovely day here and both really enjoyed learning about the history of the Broads and the wildlife. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and informative. Our tickets allowed us to go back for a second visit which we did to go on the Marsh Harrier for a cruise around the broad. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and made the trip a lot of fun. We were lucky enough to see a tiny Muntjac and a harrier eating it's prey at the top of a tree! We loved seeing the chocolate box water mill. We will definitely be going back again.

If I could have given this little museum above five I would have done. It was brilliant. Not for the exhibits or the boat ride, but for the friendly personable staff. They all obviously love what they do. Their enthusiasm is infectious. It's obviously a group of friends with a common interest and passion for the Broads. My wife and I took my elderly mother. Unfortunately she wasn't up to the boat ride so stayed behind at the museum with a cup of tea. Whilst we enjoyed our boat trip and tour of the broads the staff at the museum looked after my mum. They even brought her out to welcome us back to port after our epic voyage. We loved the boat trip and the museum. But most of all the ambiance of the attraction. I highly recommend it. My mum and dad took me to Norfolk as a young boy. I have very fond memories of my time on the broads and even have a picture of myself and my sister at Thurn Dyke. My mum has loved her trip to Norfolk. Thankyou.

If you are taking a boat out of Richardson's, plan in a couple of hours to visit this museum before you sail off. You will have a much deeper understanding, and respect for the waters you are about to embark on. The museum volunteers are hugely knowledgeable about the Broads, and offer their time and advice freely and warmly. If you are not hiring a boat, it is still worth a visit for the history, and you can take a boat cruise with this wonderful team. Make this a 'must' if you are this way in Norfolk. I had a lovely couple of hours.

This was a really lovely day out all the volunteers were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the boat trip and learning about The Broads, it was very peaceful . We've passed the museum many times from outside it looks quite a small museum but inside there was so much more to see than we expected. We're looking forward to returning when the Steam Boat is up and running.

I can’t recommend this place enough. We have had an amazing few hours there. The staff are all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The museum is very interesting learnt a lot including how the broads themselves came about. They also have a small refreshment area in there. Disabled access is excellent throughout, you are able to get around the whole place and there is also disabled access onto the boat as well. The museum is dog friendly and dogs are allowed in all areas of the museum and on the boat. We went on the boat trip, well worth doing whilst there. There were only four of us on the boat, plus my dog. The crew were excellent and informed us about the wildlife that can be seen in the area, we were lucky enough to see a Kingfisher, Otter and Heron. This is a gem of a place and I would highly recommend people visit.

What a great little museum! Nearly all the people working there are volunteers and all were friendly and knowledgeable. The museum has a great collection of boats of all shapes and sizes with a fascinating insight into the working lives of people past and present. Take the boat trip, depending on the day it’s a steam launch or electric launch.

We spent the morning looking around the museum and a 50 minute trip on Marsh Harrier, the Edwardian style electric boat. I would definitely recommend getting the combined ticket - I knew very little about the Broads, so found the museum to be very informative. Everyone was very friendly and very knowledgeable and I am sure you will have an enjoyable couple of hours here.

I'm Norfolk born & bred yet did not know of this Museum until recently, so we visited yesterday. Intriguing Museum where I learnt loads about the Broads & marvelled at the boat collection. Their leaflet has a useful quiz to keep kids interested too. My highlight was the boat trip where we saw some Kingfishers. The steam boat was being recommissioned on our visit but the electric one is possibly better for Kingfisher sitings. Quietly cruising the beautiful Broads, then shut-off to silently drift past their known nesting sites. It worked for us by surprising one sitting on a branch. All I've ever achieved before have been brief flashes of iridescent blue.
