"Absolute gem of a place! This was actually our second visit - we first went in June 2022 and loved it so much it was always going to be on our list to go back to."  TripAdvisor Review, February 2023 "A fascinating look back at our habits, favourite brands and past-times, in a well presented "Time Tunnel" display.
