Just had a great visit to the national mining museum in Wakefield. Took my 2 grandsons aged 7 and 13. Parked up £5 per car were made welcome given bands to ride the train and program. Walked down to reception we had pre booked our 12 o’clock underground trip) booked in. Boys went in to the play area had some fun then it was time to go under ground. Our guide was Steve and we were a party of 13. Spent just over a hour underground and Steve was great with everyone,he made sure all the children were involved and did not forget us grown ups.
On arrival we had to pay £5 for parking that we wasn't told about on the website when we booked tickets to go on the underground tour (which has shot up in price) The food in the cafe that was already cooked in front of you in the cue somehow took 35mins to be served and wasn't very good when it came (A picture of the gougon sandwich has been uploaded) The underground tour was ok but felt rushed because of the tour behind us.
Great day out, brilliant tour. Hats off to Colin, his personal knowledge and past experience made the visit brilliant. Lots to do there aswell park, cafe and a a lovely nature trail.
Brilliant visit with our Grandchildren, particularly the underground tour with Adie our guide.
