This is an excellent place to visit if you have any interest in prehistory. Apart from an amazing museum that makes good use of a range of audio visual techniques, there are several hands on activities such as spear throwing and cave art as well as demonstrations in tool and fire making. Our group of two adults and two children loved it. Four very well spent hours.

Certainly a lovely place in the area. I could recommend in for a visit with children hungry of knowledge or even those less enthusiastic about the world we live in and as it used to be. They would also find in an attractive venue to spend a day. Quite some selection of exhibitions and interactive workshops such as cave painting or hunting.
