    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.

    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.

    A superb little museum, bright, clean and well laid out. The timeline leads you through history, matching exhibits to significant events. The exhibits are varied, well presented and relevant. Staff were friendly and engaging. There are activities for younger people and rifle range simulator. At the time of my visit, the ticket was valid for a year. Well worth a return trip.

    Really good little museum. If you are interested in the army then there is alot to see, at certain times you can handle objects. My son wanted to visit but he's not really into all the reading but still enjoyed it. We had a game of battleships too and a few goes on the shooting game. I'd definitely recommend a visit. Reasonably priced and ticket valid for 12 months.
