Even with no knowledge of medicine a lot to see. Car parking is easy although there is a charge a free token is available if visiting. History of medicine is well done and there is a gruesome sawing off a leg to be seen. Not suitable for children! A lot to learn

Worth a trip for anyone with kids. Love the old section designed like a victorian street. Haven't been for a while so may have been updated, but worth going even if you aren't a lover of medical history!
Great insight into hopw living standards have improved! Our party were a little shocked by the smells but that sooon passed and the impression it made was worth it. Could recommend it to anyone regardless of any interest in medical matters.
