Description
An innovative museum packed full of things to prod, sniff, shake and discover, with activities to make all the family smile and wonder.
Collections description
Crawl through tunnels, hunt for fossils, explore secret works and invest your savings in Scotland's famous shale oil industry. Blow oily bubbles, become a sanitary inspector, and explore a microscopic universe. Meet the friendly animals of Mill Farm; get face to face with lambs, chicks and other new arrivals. Explore the working watermill and enjoy a riverside walk. There's an indoor adventure playground, a soft play area, and on summer weekends, trailer rides and trips on the narrow-gauge railway.
