This is a Disneyland version of a shale oil museum. There are plenty of hands-on activities for children. They can crawl through tunnels and hunt for fossils, and blow oily bubbles. There is a mini zoo called Mill Farm; with chickens, lambs and other animals. Other features are a working watermill, a riverside walk, an indoor adventure playground, soft play area, and during summer months, trailer rides, and trips on the narrow-gauge railway. Good value for a whole day out. Text by Tony Oldham (2007). With kind permission. |
