Had a great visit on my own early this morning, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the exhibits were interesting, eye catching and very enlightening! Glad to see the white deer was still on exhibition to, I remember my Grandad taking us to see it as a child and him telling us he had seen it alive roaming around near there farm before it met it's unfortunate end! Loved the Mycology exhibit and got some good pictures of the mushroom models on display. The gift shop was great although I will have to go back when I have more money to spend! Great reasonably price little cafe to. The staff in the gift shop were most helpful as I enquired if they still had the William Blake sketch on display which I could not find and they gave me someones email address who I can contact and they may be able to arrange a private viewing for me…🤞…🌟⭐🌟⭐🌟

Great place kids really enjoyed.
Free entrance. Spent a couple of hours there and could have bee. There a but longer.
They were also refurbishing some parts so when fully open may need more time
Kids really enjoyed the aquarium such nice areas of fish and love How it details where they're from. Cute little aquarium area.
The museum part upstairs took some time to go through. Three nice size rooms and they had different papers for kids to follow the trail and spot things.
Wasa really great couple of hours.
Admission is free (can give donation) and NCP was only £2.80 – think was 2 or 2.5 hours.
Was really sweet trip kids really enjoyed and we didnt even get to the lobrary!
Thank you Bolton.

This place was great. We managed to see Mars in the beautiful library. There is a great Cafe with fab drinks. The aquarium is small but we still enjoyed looking around it. Definitely worth it if your looking to kill a few hours. The lift was broken so it wasn't as accessible as I would of liked in one area. The main staircase is beautiful. This is spread over 3 floors, all of which are accessible with the main lifts.
