I visited with my family and it was OK for a couple of hours.
The museum was small but interesting however I was a bit annoyed to find out after I had paid to go in that it was actually free to go walking in the grounds which was all we really wanted to do. We were let to believe that you had to pay to do anything there.

A great deal of money has been spent here producing a perfect visitors centre , and it shows.
Lots and lots of free things fo a family to do - maybe three hours worth at a push- the one good thing about shropshire is it is not as overcrowdwd as many counties .
Lots of info on local attractions , I would have stoped longer but I planed to go other places .
Cafe superb if a bit dear, good informed staff at the centre

The small museum (for which there is a charge) is well laid out and informative. There are a number of activities for children, including dressing-up, which delighted our small grandson.
Outside there are a number of walks and a trail for children.
The cafe serves a variety of ice creams which are very good value!

A very useful centre to find out about the local area, with a small and interesting exhibition on the local area and history. Lovely café with excellent and very generous portions of ice cream, a well stocked shop with plenty of info on local walks. Very friendly and helpful staff

The dinosaur on display was very impressive even if it was an exact replica of the original. The story of the find was very informative & interesting as was the history of the surrounding area. There were many woodland walks within the grounds but unfortunately walking is not our strong point so we probably missed out on some nice flora, fauna & scenery.

This is a good place to stop for a simple lunch, coffee etc. The prices are reasonable and everything ( restaurant, toilets) were clean and well maintained. On this occasion there was adequate parking, and the restaurant not too noisy .

The Discovery Centre is easily accessible off the A49 in Craven Arms. We had been led to believe it was aimed at children, but this is far from the case, although children will certainly enjoy its many attractions. The exhibition of the history of the area is fascinating. We can all learn something from it. The film of a balloon flight over the area narrated by Pete Postlethwaite gives a good birds eye view of the county, but probably needs refreshing.
There is a pleasant walk outside the centre to some old oxbow ponds, the river and a community orchard. Afterwards you can stay and enjoy a snack or a meal in the cafe. We visited on a Sunday and judging by the number of reserved tables, it is a popular spot for Sunday lunch.
An exhibition of local artists work and a display of calligraphy completed our tour. Altogether very enjoyable.
