The mail rail is without a doubt the best bit and it’s worth the entire entrance fee! The exhibition is very kid-friendly. It’s 1H - 1H 30 min experience in total.
Kids play area £5 for 45 mins. I went with my 2 year old, I think he was too young. Very nicely done and for £5 its worth a visit. It was very quiet when we were there only one other child there.
Mail Rail is fascinating! And the staff are very knowledgable , passionate, and friendly . A great day out – especially on a rainy day.
