... seven days a week and with the exception of Christmas and New Year it is open all year round with the exception of one week in January so check ahead if you are visiting at the start of the year. What is there to see? One of the top tips is to get there early when it opens as there will be queues outside, also it is best to try and pick a dry day. We did neither so waited for about twenty minutes in the queue outside waiting to get in, in what was a fine rain. When we entered we were advised to go straight to the ...more
