Powell-Cotton Museum

Really enjoyed a family trip to the museum. A very very impressive taxidermy collection of very large animals...a bit sad but the specimens were collected many moons ago during the age of exploration.
Lovely activities for children within the museum with a good handling collection.
Children get some accessories to dress up with on arrival should they wish, which was a nice touch.

We had a picnic in the formal gardens which were beautiful bin the late summer. We loved the walled garden especially.

There was a nice woodland walk also and a nice café on site which we enjoyed a cream tea at in the afternoon. Very tasty. Recommend!

Very impressive museum with a lot of African animals. The rooms with the animals were impressive. We also really liked the beautiful gardens. They old house was nice to see and the staff was very friendly and explained a lot of things about the family and the house.

Such an interesting day out, my son was fascinated with all of the exhibits. Very reasonable admission especially as there is lots to see. The gardens are beautiful and fun to explore and the house is stunning. A great day out

Very interesting museum, demonstrating the interests of another lifetime. Lovely gardens and a tour of the house available.

Went to the Country show which is a wonderful weekend for dog owners.
If you go in the museum be prepared there are lots of stuffed animals
The restaurant is fantastic and there are lots of other things for children to do, mini golf, maize maze at the right time of the year.
Dome lovely products to buy in the restaurant shop.

Loved it, very nice staff, the house was excellent! Very interesting backstory to the museum / house. Would come again !!

Really nice museum with well displayed exhibits, we had a great highlights tour by Alison and all the staff there were really lovely. The gardens are also well worth a wander round. Lovely day out to spend with a friend or on your own.

Great place to experience African animals and cultures, also great children's craft and interactive area.
