OVERALL THOUGHT
The Workshop Rail Museum was an amazing and fun museum, which suit for the all age groups included us! 😉 However, avoid visiting the museum during weekend as it will be extremely crowded with the visitors. We spent approximately 3 hours enjoying this lovely museum at our own pace and it was such a fun and interesting experience that we never have!
