Experiencia fantástica: Encantador pequeño museo. Superó con creces mis expectativas. A los niños les encantaron las partes interactivas, que los mantuvieron entretenidos e interesados. Brillante por las pocas libras que costó. También era una pareja muy encantadora la que lo dirigía.

Experiencia fantástica: Interesantes colecciones. Se pueden encontrar huellas de polacco, en memoria de los aviadores polacos o la visita del embajador polaco. Porthcawl es un pintoresco pueblo costero con una amplia playa y un puerto deportivo, famoso por el Festival anual de Elvis Presley.

Experiencia positiva: Lovely little museum with friendly and knowledgeable staff only to happy to share what they know. While these kinds of small town museums tend to be a bit eclectic they carry it off here. These places aren't always the most exciting for younger children but they've put dinosaurs, cats and rats in every room for the kids to find.
