Small and simple centre with a mammoth in , a great reasonably priced shop and great cafe inside. Great way to learn about the history of Shropshire and things they've discovered there such as hillfort and stuff. Well worth a visit and a few bits for the kids to do.

I was really impressed by the Discovery Centre. It’s completely free to enter, which is a lovely surprise, and the café is fantastic — great food, friendly staff, and a really welcoming atmosphere. The shop is extensive and beautifully curated, with lots of local producers and artisans represented, so it’s well worth a browse.
One of the highlights for me was the accessible paths leading out into the meadows. They’re easy to navigate and take you on a peaceful walk down towards the river, which is a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the surroundings.
A brilliant visit overall — highly recommended for anyone in the area.

The centre provides a great day out. Well stocked shop with local produce and makers. The food in the cafe was well presented and very good value. There are two mobility scooters available - which meant our elderly parents could really enjoy a wander round the meadows and a lovely afternoon by the river. The staff were very helpful.

Had a brilliant day here yesterday, with my hubby and 20 year old daughter. Love that you can wander around the shop and various stalls, outside and lunch without having to pay for the exhibition. We did go into the exhibition and found it really interesting as visitors to the area and reasonably priced.
The lunch we had from the cafe was delicious - had freshly made sandwiches and gorgeous cakes. We bought books, gem bracelets and a few other bits which were well priced.
We also had a couple of hours in the outdoors and a little paddle.
The people who worked there were really friendly and helpful too.
Wish it was closer to home as we’d be regular visitors!

Great day out exploring the Onny Meadows with loads of birdlife, butterflies and dragonflies. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the cafe afterwards

It turned out to be the perfect place to begin our exploration of the Shropshire Hills. Set in acres of meadows that are curated by local volunteers to promote and protect the local biodiversity, and bordered by the beautiful river Onny, the centre is brimming with information on the wildlife, geology, history and culture of the area. We found guides to walks, attractions and things to do in the area. The staff were very welcoming helpful and knowledgeable. There's a lovely museum complete with Mammoth. a fab cafe and an interesting shop great for gifts and interesting sustainable living. Well worth a visit. We'll be back

Staying locally this place is just round the corner from our accommodation. We have walked from the cottage and used it to both start local walks from and end up back here after long walks as the facilities are excellent.
There are short walks with lots of signs and things to see all signposted and explained.
The cafe has inside and outside dining with all kinds of snacks up to full meals.
I would also like to mention the two young men serving in the cafe who are the most polite and helpful young men around. They both work extremely hard and are a credit to the Discovery Centre in how they are recognised by management.

Big spacious café and well populated so I'm quite surprised by the reviews on here. To be fair, there are only 2 reviews on TA this year so probably quite unrepresentative.
Staff were pleasant and there is an efficient process for delivering your order to your table.
Coffee was very good and there was a good choice of cake and savouries.
No complaints, I'd visit again to avoid the NT queue and fayre on offer at Attingham Park.
