A good day out for kids including younger tots as there is plenty of climbing and tunnels for them to explore. Probably not the best for those with limited mobility although they do have wheelchair routes and a lift.
The indoor exhibits are well thought out with interesting signage and interactive sounds/displays. They tell the story of the fort and artillery.
If you are interested in artillery then the range of exhibits will impress. From some of the world's earliest artillery pieces up to the Iraqi super gun.
Our favourite is the railway gun.
All in all a good cheap day out for the family, especially when the sun is shining. Plenty of parking is available.
