We have specially designed and made an array of exciting interactive displays that allow YOU to lift the lid on the astonishing secret world of poo in a variety of engaging ways! There are things to sniff, handles to turn, pipes to talk through, buttons to press, and of course a huge collection of preserved poos to get up close to!
Children’s play area.
We’ve got a brilliant retro children’s play area just out the front of our museum. It’s fenced and gated and dog-free so completely safe. Perfect for mucking around on the swings, roundabout, slide, and climbing frame…or having a family picnic in the shade of our majestic oak trees.
For dog owners, there are our gardens and cliff walks. Please do help us by picking up after your pooches!!
