This really was a lovely day out. It's quite a small museum but there are some very interesting exhibits.

There is a suggested donation of £3 per adult, you can pay £1 per child for quizzes based on the exhibitions.

There a number of excellent of fossils on display, presumably recovered from the Somerset levels, and an amazing example of a Roman mosaic, as well as some activities for kids to interest with.

The exhibits are interesting and there are plenty interactive instalments to keep the children interested, and there is a very nice cafe on the way out. Delicious coffee and hot chocolate and the food looked very nice too.

I would recommend this as a good (and cheap) day out.

If you are un Taunton for a day out or passing this is a lovely way to spend an hour and free too. Just not worth a long trip especially for it.

Really interesting museum. They have lost of different things going on here...last time I went the theme was the Tudors, spent quite a while speaking to a very knowledgeable man. Also there was an art exhibition and a craft session for children ... there is usually something for children so a good place to visit in the holidays. Free entry... .just a donation box , so affordable for all.

Good for an outing if out and about in town.
Different rooms with different periods. I do love the butterfly room. So pretty. Love finding about facts that we didn't know.
Children like the dressing up
We liked the rhymes around the world room when it was there. Good interaction for the children.

Good little museum with a good range of exhibitions from different times. Just right for young children. One of the only things to do in the area on a wet day. Being free makes it even better.
