It's looking great at the moment and is well laid out! A lot more hands on exhibits would be great for encouraging children to learn and maybe a museum run hunt and find quiz would be good.
The lifts are plentiful for baby buggies; HOWEVER everyone uses them making it an AGE to get in one even during the week when schools are off. I never knew how a pain I had been by using lifts out of laziness prior to having a child in tow.

It has two rooms that young kids can explore in which is really nice. The lifts are small so expect queues to form for them. Take your own food the cafe is really expensive and not many options.
