Great museum - lots for kids
Museum of Power的点评
点评：We visited the Museum of Power in April 2024 with two kids. It had been recommended to us by family. We visited on a Thursday - since in school holidays that when they open the miniature railway and miniature village.
The Museum has recently been refurbished (the entrance still smelled of paint) and everything was clean, in order and well maintained. The various steam engines (including one of the large original water pumping engines) were all run intermittently through the day on compressed air. They were very impressive and not too noisy (fine for kids). There were lots of things for kids to interact with, such as moving cutaway combustion engines and a little old fashioned (but working) phone just by the door to the main room. On they day we visited craft activities had been put up for kids as well.
The staff were excellent, very welcoming and engaged. The amount of effort and engagement being put in by staff frankly puts other compatible museums to shame.
The cafe is good and well furnished, with an area open for dogs. There was also picnic seating outside as well as toilets inside and out.
The museum is not massive, with three main rooms. You can probably see most of it in about 1-2 hours.
Outside there is also a model railway and model village which are open on specific days. The model railway was good, consistent with others we have visited, and run by a bunch of enthusiastic volunteers (who also operated the engines in the museum). The model village is a passion project, built by one man over 24 years. It is more a kids entertainment then a scale recreation, but it's fun none the less. The creator was there when we visited and delighted in entertaining the visiting kids - with little quizzes maps and the odd magic trick.
There was also a crafting shed, but we did not visit it.
Overall thus is well worth the visit and great fun for kids. It is worth making the time to go there since it feels something of a hidden gem.

翻译：2024 年 4 月，我们带着两个孩子参观了动力博物馆。家人向我们推荐了这家博物馆。我们是在周四参观的——因为在学校放假的时候，他们会开放微型铁路和微型村庄。
博物馆最近进行了翻新（入口仍然有油漆味），一切都干净、整洁、维护良好。各种蒸汽机（包括一台大型原始水泵发动机）全天都在压缩空气下间歇运行。它们非常令人印象深刻，而且不太吵（对孩子来说没问题）。有很多东西可以供孩子们互动，比如移动的剖面内燃机和主房间门口的一台老式（但能用）电话。我们参观的那天，还为孩子们准备了手工活动。
工作人员非常出色，非常热情，积极参与。坦率地说，工作人员付出的努力和参与让其他兼容的博物馆黯然失色。
咖啡馆很好，布置得很好，有一个开放的区域供狗使用。外面还有野餐座位，室内外都有厕所。
博物馆并不大，有三个主厅。大概 1-2 小时就能看完大部分。
外面还有模型铁路和模型村，只在特定的日子开放。模型铁路很好，与我们参观过的其他铁路一致，由一群热情的志愿者经营（他们还操作过博物馆里的火车）。模型村是一个充满激情的项目，由一个人花了 24 年时间建造。它更像是一种儿童娱乐，而不是规模化的娱乐，但它仍然很有趣。我们参观的时候，创作者也在场，很高兴能逗来访的孩子们开心——用小测验地图和奇怪的魔术。
还有一个手工艺棚，但我们没有去。
总的来说，这里非常值得一游，孩子们会玩得很开心。值得抽出时间去那里，因为它感觉像是一块隐藏的宝石。
