    On arrival got one disabled parking bay which was available. The museum is a excellent collection with some beautiful exhibits and is packed full of examples of the changes in equipment over the years. Very interesting and informative. The staff were very friendly and helping knowing i am disabled. Easy to roam with my wheelchair all over the museum. Accessible toilets were also available at the museum which were clean. Kids will love this museum. Recommend to all.
