The Yeo Family: Really excellent. Children thoroughly enjoyed themselves! We'll come back soon! February 2009.

Claire Collins: Visited with another adult and 2 children both aged 10. We all loved it and thought it was very realistic, fascinating and very very interesting. My daughter liked going into the Anderson Shelter best - it is so different to life today. I will be bringing my parents up next month! Well Done! Keep up the brilliant work.
