I took my 4 year old to Sorted with a friend and her daughter. They enjoyed it but the 45 minutes went by very fast. We didn't do the museum or Mail Rail and instead went to a nearby playground where they continued running around. I think it's good for age 2.5+ and great value for money if you're only booking Sorted.

Loved this museum! The mail rail is so fun even if you're an adult. The museum part is really interactive and has lots of cool old samples of stamps, postboxes, letters etc. that made me want to write more!
