We visited while staying in Ironbridge, we had a great few hours walking around and talking to the staff who are all dressed in period costumes. All the staff we talked to were brilliant very informative some more that others. It was just the start of the season and was a cold day so summer I imagine more things going on and the Ironbridge museums are apparently in the process of being taken over by the National Trust so some staff weren't sure about the future. I hope the Trust don't change things too much as we visited 6 museums in the area and found them all well run and with the same continuity.

Great experience. Lots to look at and all the staff are very friendly and informative. Authentic step back in time to the early 1900's. There's an adventure playground for kids, cafes, pub, chippy and much more besides. Due to be taken over by the National Trust in March '26.

A truly wonderful, insightful visit. It was amazing revisiting as an adult after coming here as a child, what a fantastic experience to share with my 13 year old son, who was just as impressed as I was. A huge mention to the wonderful staff who make this experience incredible. Every member of this team from the reception throughout all the staff who are in full Victorian character are absolutely amazing. A real credit to this set up are you guys. You were all so welcoming, engaging, knowledgeable and totally endearing. What a fantastic landmark we have and to share such an incredible part of our history. It makes us and you feel proud of our heritage. Thankyou 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
