Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We visited here whilst on a trip to St Neots. It’s a small museum run by volunteers but we found it worthwhile. Suitable for adults & children. Well presented & varied material. Lovely to see the old town jails preserved & great historical background info. Interesting to note how children were punished just for poaching a rabbit or taking a biscuit - hard times.

I think that anyone who visits St Neots should look through this very well presented museum. The town of St Neots is very pretty as it is flanked by the River Ouse and has a quaint cafe for refreshments on your walk through the town and riverbank.

What an amazing town!!
So smart, clean and welcoming!
We looked around the museum and found it fascinating!!
The whole town was packed with carparks and sensible shops….including Marks Food Hall.
The river was lovely and accessible…..we went to the Dragon Boat Festival…..wonderful and well attended and free!!
Lots of cafes and eating places including Pizza Express.
We traveled to Cambridge and got the Park and Ride…..only £3 and very frequent.
What an amazing city!!
We traveled to London for the day…..lots of car parking near station……50 minutes and plenty of regular trains into St. Pancreas!! If you go then just a short walk to Granary Square near the canal is wonderful…..splash park and lots of picnic areas near canal!!
A fantastic week and thorough enjoyed by three generations!!

Pleasant enough market town made more appealing by the park and river. Beware the underhand parking charges in the Riverside car park.

Interesting small museum with genuine displays and rooms based on St Neots history. There are actual jail cells and other settings to wander through plus a small gift shop. Right in the middle of St Neots so combine with another attraction for a day out.

Great place not much to see but we’ll set out still interesting could do with more artifacts and a better pricing structure than asking if you’re local

Dropped in our last day in St Neots and it’s well worth a visit. History of the area is covered really well with lots of archeological findings. Set in the original local police station, with cells.
Extra credit for it being a locally driven project to reflect the importance of St Neots and it’s locals...and all for £3.

Really cute little museum, friendly staff. Great way to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids! Police cells really interesting, quick overview of history from prehistoric through to modern day downstairs and a 1930’s house upstairs. we particularly liked the school room with anecdotes from local people reminiscing about their school days and slates to write on (bought one in the gift shop in fact!).
