This has been on my to do list for a while and I wasn't disappointed - even coming from the land of the Angel of the North. Handy car park close to the sculpture but you have to pay for it. There is a free one but it's some distance away. Cafe was ok and small gift shop - expected more models of the sculptures tbh or posters to buy. Very little except for the general guide on the engineering behind the construction. Evening display slow to establish as we were there at dusk about 5pm and got bored waiting for the lights to complete.

So much bigger than expected. The detail in such large sculptures was fantastic. The Cafe and Visitors centre was also very good. The Sausage Rolls in the cafe were something special and the coffee was nice. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Amazing experience all round.
