Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- The narrow gauge railway trip lasts around 25 minutes, but you should allow additional time to explore the museum building, geological exhibits, and quarry site with its machinery collection. Most families spend several hours on site.
- Is there food available, or should we bring a picnic?
- The venue has hot and cold drinks available. We haven't confirmed whether there's a café or picnic area, so you may want to bring snacks or a packed lunch depending on how long you plan to stay.
- Can we just turn up, or do we need to book in advance?
- During school holidays the museum is open daily and you can turn up. During term time it's closed Mondays, so check before visiting. School or student groups need to book by arrangement.
- Is it manageable with buggies and young children?
- We haven't confirmed whether the site is buggy friendly or has step-free access, so contact the museum before your visit if you need to know the terrain and accessibility for pushing a buggy round the quarry site and buildings.
