Kids enjoyed the digging and we had an almost private tour which was great value as part of the Pastport with Jorvik Viking Centre and Barley Hall

Sympa à faire avec les enfants. Si vous n'êtes pas anglophones, vous pouvez demander à l'animatrice de parler plus lentement pour avoir le temps de traduire à vos enfants. Conseillé en billet combiné

What a lovely museum. Great for families although it's a bit on the expensive side. The premise of the museum is around archeology, it features friendly staff, a nice short, garden walk with interactive displays, interactive talk and time in make believe dig sites. On entering the premises you find the shop with archeology centric souvenirs from Roman coins, dig kits, historical toys to pretend poo's! Entrance is time slotted. You sit down and partake in a talk that goes into detail about archeology, history and how to think about history, not only real history, but us from the future historians pov. Children (and big children, if you ask my wife) are encouraged to take part in the talk answering questions and even touching bones that are hundreds of years old. Following the talk, you can enjoy the dig sites. These are areas filled with rubber pellets that hide artefacts from the Victorian, medieval and Roman times. Each area is themed and the hostess was going around asking questions about the things we had discovered. Following our time in the dig sites, we were then free to enjoy the rest of the exhibits. Overall, we had an absolutely lovely time here, the only poor feedback was that the time in the dig sites was too short, we couldn't do each site and take our time talking about what we had found and what things could be, or make up our ideas. For a family of three, we paid £38, we feel that price was reasonable but would have definitely appreciated more time in the dig sites but with the timing slots as they were, we understand why not. If I could recommend anything it would be to move to another venue which is slightly larger to accommodate 2 sets of dig sites so that 1 group can have 45 mins to an hour to try each activity while another tour group goes to the other sites.
