TOP 3 STEAM-MUSEUM OF THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY REVIEWS

A fantastic museum covering the great GWR and history of the locomotive works that were once there. We didn't know what to expect but we're pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the exhibits and the information supplied on screens(just long enough and informative). My one and only criticism, was the on the Bell given to locomotive 6000 King George V on a vist to USA it would have been nice to read the inscription on that bell(printed placard with inscription on would suffice) My wife(not a rail buff) did enjoy her time inside museum and we were both surprised how 2hours flew by. Following on from the museum a wander through the shopping outlet next door continued the engine workshops theme with a very sympathetic use of both old and modern on display throughout. Well done Swindon.

This is the social history of locomotive history with the trains they built. Not an engine shed. But an opportunity to see how the trains were operated and how the workers lives evolved along with the railways. To see such trains as the City of Try To saved for generations to come.

Great little muesum plenty to see and do. A great little slice of British railway history, a fun day out for the family.

TOP 3 MUSEUM OF COMPUTING REVIEWS

My 2 children and I, along with some other families had a lovely experience here. It really seems to be a hidden gem in Swindon. The staff were all very helpful and knowledgeable. The place is full of old computers and games to play. My 7 year old and I had a long session of competitive Pong! The highlights for me were playing Lemmings and original Mario. It was eye-opening for the kids to see how gaming has changed over the years. Ticket price is very reasonable as you can stay there as long as you want and leave for lunch/come back. Fab way to spend a rainy day in Swindon!

We booked a private visit for a home ed group today. This included a 2 hour exclusive visit and a scratch coding lesson if wanted (for approx 8years+) The kids had so much fun playing the retro game consoles and on the computers. They also had lots of things in display cases and information all around. Staff were fantastic with the kids and explained how things worked when needed. I honestly cannot recommend enough! Rest assured all the screens and lighting worked perfectly- it is just my camera.

Absolutely fantastic museum. Loads of great exhibits, with really clear information. Best part is there are dozens of hands on machines to play with. Experience what it was like loading games from tape. Play the original Lemmings on an Amiga 500. Set a new high score in Duck Hunt. Staff really friendly too and great for families. Highly recommended.

TOP 3 RICHARD JEFFERIES MUSEUM REVIEWS

This is a beautiful calming place to go for a couple of hours. Don't rush - chillax in the house and gardens. Enjoy a snack and a nice cup of tea supplied by the wonderful staff in this olde world gem! Although it is only open certain days there are a number of special events to tempt you to find a free afternoon to return. There's a pub/restaurant next door and easy access for a walk in Coate Water.

Recently attended an event/open day here. We found a very warm reception from staff. My wife, 4 yr old daughter and I all thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to come again.

We visited on a steam weekend, 2 traction engines and alot of farm machinery, a couple of Ferguson tractors. A lady and her chicken paintings, a super stall of walking sticks.
