One infantry, one cavalry, both are built on the histories of earlier regiments, spanning over 300 years of British military history.

    Knowledgeable staff. Fun expositions. Not only that but the games and questionnaire was super interesting and fun to do. Great date Activity to talk about history with, one of my favorite Museums of York as a tourist from now on, and maybe even in all of England/the world.

    Truely fabulous little museum with some incredible exhibitions, I must mention how amazing the staff there were particularly Jana who made such an effort talking about the displays with both my boys. My eldest has never been as engaged with displays and that's is a credit to her passion and enthusiasm. 5 stars not enough

    The museum inside is very neat, very clean. All descriptions are very nicely described, copied and numbered very well. Inside there is a great mix of three historical eras that fit together very well. The museum also has a bathroom, clean, which you can use, the shop is quite small but the prices and souvenirs are great! I recommend it for a small attraction.
