To be honest, I was a bit disappointed at this Cat Museum, for it only showcased lots of cat-related commercial products, just like a big store of cat-related toys, ornaments, posters, etc.; and on the whole its collection was not very appealing. It could have been better if the exhibited items were more organized and the gift shop carried more... More

No fanciful hign tech display here..but generally quite good for small children on a day out.Beware of the slope approaching the museum as a few of the children manage to trip over while walking in line. More

It's a great place to spend an hour. So many lighthearted displays. Hundreds of cat ornaments,movie posters and artwork. For any animal lover it's well worth a visit,even though it's a fair way out of town. More

suprise. this museum tell me everything from A~z about cats.anything. Even, you want to share to a stranger next to you on the beauty that you want to describe.located on a hill, you can "hike" and a very safe place with security personnel, a canteen for refresment, good view outside for photography.easy access from town..but not during lunch time~heavy jammed.

If you have time, fit this in. But it's pretty miss-able also! Literally a museum full of cats. Cat food, cat toys, stuffed cats, everything you could ever imagine to do with cats. Great light hearted fun. But don't waste your time if you don't have a good sense of humour! More
