Came here on a Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a really throwback to yesteryear. It's a huge site and there is so much to see. The building and shops etc. Are all from different eras. When we went they were currently building new sections and shops so will be going again. We purchased our tickets online and it also gives you free entry within 12 months. The detail of the shops and props are brilliant and a really good experience l. We also went down the mine which is a really good experience highly recommended. But be careful as sections have super low ceilings. You can also get food on site as well.

Oh I cannot say enough positive things about this place. I just love it! perfect environment if you want to just hang out by yourself as you will have plenty of opportunities to speak to the volunteers and staff. They are all so lovely and friendly. Also very well educated. I went to experience the Mine, unfortunately no photos are allowed there but i very much enjoyed this. Then walk via town with stop for a lunch. They hve very good coffee there! It is also good plce for groups, families, etc… just perfect day out of the house. You will definitively learn something from our past there.

Fabulous visit, watch out for the Mine tour. Can be claustrophobic, have to crouch down. Only a few steps. A very short entrance not deep at all. Whole thing lasts 30 minutes. Well worth it, fascinating information. Great day out. We parked down the road half a mile away, and walked in. Car park expensive for us at 3.50. Inside the grounds, everything has been worked out with even more plans and buildings being built. Really builds a picture of how life used to even a whole working street with shops and staff in character and costumes. I say ask many questions, talk to everyone, enjoy a picnic lunch in the seated bench area. Absorb and learn.

I have been here 5 times and it never fails to make me smile, its a history journey through the Black country decades with the actual buildings and furniture from the era's.The shops are fantastically realistic, and you can buy sweets and cakes and goodies.Pubs and chips, canal boats, trams and bus trips. The best part of the day is the under ground mines, with real stories an absolute brilliant experience.The picnic area's are large, the toilet facilities are many, very clean! The funfair is lovely for the children.Parking is good too.Great place to take people to show the life of hard working families in the black country.

Amazing, completely immersive experience! Everything is restored and maintained beautifully. The staff and volunteers are fantastic actors and all in costume too! Perfect day out for anyone, any age. It's worth every single penny. Honestly, I felt like we'd gone back in time, and we didn't want to leave!Great to see they're still expanding and adding new buildings, too.

What a fabulous day out! Worth every penny of the entry price. (For me, 67, parts of it where like travelling back to my childhood). It really is a living museum. The staff are superb. Not one could I find that didn't appear to absolutely love their job. Their interaction really makes the visit. The place is very well kept - clean and well preserved and all facilities are readily available. Every so often along comes a bus or a truck. It really is fantastic and authentic. We all had fish and chips for lunch and the grandchildren asked how come they were so good! Which they were. There was just so much to see. ( so we'll definitely have visit again soon because we couldn't fit it all in in one go. And it's free.)My wife is in a wheelchair and found the going fairly easy. She could also get into a lot of the buildings - especially the newer exhibits. A visit to the schoolroom is so worth it ( and fun). Gives you a real taste of education in the past. The fairground was fun. The grandchildren loved it.A really good day out.

Really lovely day out (although very rainy) missed the mine tour which was a bit annoying, had some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. The 'extras' took us by surprise at first, but once you know they are there, it's great. Would definitely visit again preferably in the sun. Well worth a visit

How is this out first visit here! We had so much fun! We can't wait to come back very soon.My children enjoyed the mine, the school and the workshop they run during the holidays. There was actors walking around, and my children loved interacting with them and having a laugh.This place isn't just educational but fun too!Fantastic value for money as it includes free return. The gift shop is reasonable. My children were able to spend their pocket money to buy marbles for exmaple.

We visited on a Sunday and bought our tickets in advance. There was plenty of space in the car park and no queue to enter. The museum is fantastic. There is so much to see and a great variety of houses, workshops and shops, as well as a couple of pubs, school and church, you can even take a tour of a coal mine! The staff/volunteers really bring it all to life and were friendly and very knowledgeable. George at the mine was particularly brilliant! There is also a wide range of food and drink available. We had a great day and at a very reasonable price too!

We went to the Halloween Nights evening and it was amazing we had a lovely time in the mines on the guided tour and trick or treating in the many locations. We saw wild animals in the school including African sea snails and owls and watched the fire show near the canal and the funfair. Generally a good night overall. We were a family of five. Also new and improved larger gift shop
