Lovely gardens and play area for kids - outdoors beside café and indoor creative area. We didn't visit the museum collections but the temporary Aerospace exhibition 'Beyond Infinity - American Space Exploration' was a big hit with adults & kids.

Residents here at Goodson Lodge throughly enjoyed the visit of Vicky and Zach today from the museum. It was the most enjoyable morning with various objects to handle which got residents reminiscing. It was very lovely and staff were very friendly and were very accommodating. We look forward to them returning again soon.
