The MAD Museum, Stratford-upon-Avon

Fantastic place to visit on your own, friends, family. Great display of mechanical things mostly made of wood or metal. Lots of funny things but also at least one gory (military bunnies, one of them exploding) so bare it in mind if your child is sensitive to that content. Loved it, will be back :)

Fantastic experience for kids and adults. When you go here try to think art first, then mechanical and be prepared to just have fun. The displays are less interactive than anticipated with a scanner being activated to make every display move. The woodwork and metalwork on the artworks are really unique and special. You almost wish the artist was there to give more details on how they created the work. Each display is a mini sculpture and some of them a whole lot of fun. If more sculptures in the world were designed this way the world might be a happier place. There is a play area for the kids where they get to build a track against the wall. This was probably the greatest hit for the kids.

A freind recommended a visit. At first missed it as the entrance blended in with other shops. On first appearance on entry, it seemed small. But it was amazing and fun with interactive displays and an interesting cinema on other quirky designs. Overall spent just under 2hrs there. If had children, probably would have been there 3 hrs. Great for little ones too, with a big interactive play wall to create their own marble run. £7.80 adult fee to enter. We visited in a weekday which was quiet

Good place to bring the kids and spend maybe one hour to entertain them with the wonders of mechanics. The museum is quite interesting, but small. I gave them 4 stars because I asked the receptionist how big is the museum and he told me that is the whole floor, rven behind of some area that I couldn't see from reception... the reality is that there is no other large space, that's pretty much that you can see there. Is beautiful, is interesting, great for kids. Ideal to buy family tickets as would be a bit cheaper. Overall ok and I recommend them, there are different and interactive from the normal average museum.

The MAD museum is a quirky place where you can see some amazing pieces, as well as go hands on with some marble runs. My lad really enjoyed just staring at the automated marble mazes! A real lot of effort has gone into a lot of these exhibits. I do think however, if I'd gone in without my kids I would have been in and out in probably 30/45 mins... and it wasn't the cheapest entry price.
