A great museum only a short drive from Glasgow, and easily accessible by bus and train too. Village outdoors to explore with different eras of homes and a real sweetie shop to visit and excellent exhibitions inside with lots to interact with. Playground and picnic area down the hill is worn but great fun for range of ages and abilities. They also host lots of community events too like Bookbug etc so worth looking what else might be on.
For a free museum, we had an enjoyable visit and a nice walk around the grounds, but other than the main building, the museum is looking a little tired. Whilst the cottages are interesting, there's not a lot to see, and the information boards were somewhat lacking. The tram wasn't running, we couldn't do a mine tour and the rest of the outdoor exhibits were showing signs of overgrowth, including the closed off iron works which look like the path has been closed for a significant time. The museum genuinely is interesting, but without a tram ride or mine tour, you won't spend much more than an hour to get round it all.
Great way to spend a few hours with little kids. Lots of little toys etc. spaced around the museum to keep the entertained. Exhibits are interesting not just for local folk but I can see outsiders enjoying too. Cafe smelt good but I didn't try. Lots of wee places both inside and out to eat your picnic. The tram isn't working and it appears it has been that way for a while. Don't expect it to be working when you go. Oh, and an added bonus... It's free.
A very informative museum giving information about Scotish industrial life. Unfortunately the tram line was not running on the day, but that didn't detract from the visit. The are machines and displays from all eras covered. There is parking on site, a cafe, toilets gift shop and also an old style sweet shop out by the miners cottages display. Museum is free, but worth a donation as you leave.
This was an alternative to our planned day out. Well a good alternative it turned out to be. A good museum dedicated to the industrial heritage of Scotland, full of exhibits old factory equipment some old trains and more. There stuff everywhere to see I initially thought it was just a small place then we entered the inside section which was quite big with even more exhibits. As a family we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is free to enter but donations are welcome and for what there is to see you'd find it hard not to donate a few pounds. This was so much more than I expected. A must see if your in the area and have an interest in the industrial age.
Sean was a fantastic guide and most interesting visits to sights especially New Lanark. Aloud time to really look around the places visited.
