Just how I remembered from when I was a child. Took my teenage daughter as a birthday treat & she really enjoyed it. Takes a good couple hours to walk around and some of the ground can be uneven. Worth the money. Has a small gift shop on entry/exit, not badly priced at all. All in all a good day out

Great place to spend a day! Lots of houses and buildings to have a look in and lots of open space to enjoy. The volunteers are very welcoming and happy to tell you information about the buildings. Especially nice to go at this time of the year when some of the buildings have fires and traditional festive decorations.

Fascinating place. Lots of buildings to go around. The staff are very knowledgeable. Definitely worth more than one visit. The cafe/ restaurant overlooks a large pond with a good selection on the menu. Lots of wildlife about. The Repair Shop is filmed there.

We have spent a lovely few hours at the Museum today. Very interesting. Saw the Repair shop but they were filming so couldn't go in. The weather was rather wet and very windy but nevertheless enjoyed our visit. Will definitely return.

An excellent place to visit!!! Buildings through the ages that have been painstakingly taken apart and been rebuilt here.......and saved!!!! What a wonderful idea......and saved in a new village in the English countryside just north of Chichester. Some of the buildings have been refurbished ....and some bare structures....but all with a history to tell. The medieval gardens are treasures in themselves...... forgotten herbs and flowers, vegetables and spices. Just wonderful.
