NATIONAL MUSEUM OF RURAL LIFE REVIEWS

Very informative day about farm life.. Was sunny when we visited so walked over to the farm house and seen all the animals they kept...there were baby vows and piglets to pet, chickens and higland cows to see... It was moo-fest so we joined a butter making class..had a great day.

Went here with the family over Easter. Loved it, very educative for my daughter. Also the ride from the building to the farm was smooth. We saw a horse, pigs, and cows. Good learning experience. Wear wellies and take an umbrella along!

amazing day out! Everyone has to go and get the tractor ride too! Was incredible to be in and around a working farm and see the farming equipment from years gone by! 10/10 for families snd ANYONE!!

LOW PARKS MUSEUM REVIEWS

This is a war museum. It also shows the history of evaluation of coal, industries, electronics, farming of near by area. I am from India and use to stay near industrial locality, so i can recollect some of the electronic and manufacturing item which i used to see in my childhood present in this museum. Today only i get to know the rolls-royce engine has history related to hamilton. Everyone must visit once… its really nice 2-3hrs of enjoyment.

We went along to do some Easter crafts and ended up exploring the museum, as well as eating lunch in the cafe. Interesting museum with lots to look at, and food in cafe was great! Highly recommend for a morning or afternoon out that doesn't break the bank. Staff all friendly and welcoming.

What's not to like. Entry by donation. Visited with my 6 year old grandsons. They get to dress up in old military uniforms. Lots of interesting stuff to see from industry and military. Also a nice cafeteria wit reasonably priced food. It's definitely worth a visit.

BIGGAR & UPPER CLYDESDALE MUSEUM REVIEWS

My grandson loved going round this little museum. It is full of interesting things with loads of information. We especially loved the old shops and my grandson loved playing at peaver. He also really enjoyed finding all the objects on the treasure hunt. He was also tickled pink at receiving a William Wallace badge because he had completed the treasure hunt. We can heartily recommend a visit to the Museum if you are in Biggar. The toilets are also spotlessly clean. 5 stars.

If you ever pass by Biggar, stop and visit this museum! What a precious hidden gem! Starting with the staff, who’s absolutely helpful and nice. Then the models… with adorable and funny details. And finally the shops in the back!! My goodness, the level of detail takes you back in time. Suddenly you are in a 19th century neighbourhood, visiting the grocery or the pharmacy. One of the best museums I’ve visited!

Fabulous wee museum...the volunteer staff were absolutely fantastic. Made us really welcome and gave us a great insight into some other exhibits...highly recommended.
