Small... read more and compact with just the right amount of exhibits, well laid out with the history of the RE very easy to follow, in a series of exhibit rooms, that follow a circular route around the ground floor of the building. While outside are the heavy duty stuff, tanks, etc.
Weather you are 6 or 60 there is something for everyone! The medal rooms are a must, more so given the fine collection of VC's on show (along with the citations).
The cafe situated on the first floor, serves light snacks, tea's, coffee's, etc. Overall a really enjoyable visit.

Highlights include Wellington's map of Waterloo, Chard's weapons from the Zulu War, and a part of the Berlin Wall.

There is a kids corner in the cafe with some building blocks and books to entertain them after lunch. Dress up areas and huge tanks. My 4 year old is now obsessed with the army and has been drawing tanks every day. Exceeded expectations and we are looking forward to going back.

There are some areas of the lunch area and bridges that need repairs to stop accidents with young children falling. Keep an eye on your children up there!

  Hidden gem - Really comprehensive museum about the history of the royal engineers. Exhibits large and small from a V2 rocket to Wellingtons Waterloo map

  If you have an interest in military history then this museum is well worth two or three hours of your time, it covers the Romans (briefly) through to modern day.... read more There are some unexpected artifacts and well layed out exhibits. There are some dress up oppotunities for kids and a few hands on exhibits for all. Our one dissappointment was the cafe where food from the fridge that needed to be heated (pasties and toasted sandwhiches) could not be heated,

  Great museum. - We went the first time in November 2022 for the WWII Christmas event. As the ticket is valid for a year we went back a few times to explore the... read more museum. It is such a little gem and learnt so much for all our visits. I would definitely recommend to visit.
