There’s nothing ordinary about the story of the post! From five-wheeled cycles and the first ever stamps to Mail Rail, a hidden underground train ride, discover five centuries of communications history, as seen through the eyes of the iconic postal service.

Really enjoyed my time here , it’s in a nice quiet area . All the employees were very helpful and extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the noise of the city for a few hours !

Heya.
In order to beat the crowds we decided to visit this museum on a hot day. It was my first time ever. This is a really nice museum to explore. You must go on the secret train as well. After that maybe go and view the film based on the train in question. Take a look on the website to see the information you will need. Recommended too. I give it five out of five stars. If you are in the area feel free to come and visit.
It is certainly something to do on a very hot day when there will be far fewer people indoors. We also rode the mail run train. I will return next year. Book on the phone all entry tickets in advance. You must check the details prior to going there.
Next on the list was a hour at the cafe for a rather quick lunch. Check out the museum exhibitions on the ground floor. Additionally you must spend two to three hours here. Try to plan your entire visit carefully however. I recommend taking a packed lunch. Due to our own time limits we didn’t see all parts of the museum. But it is generally worth it. At the very end of your visit make a beeline for the gift store to buy a trinket to take back home. Or purchase a museum leaflet.

Went to the postal museum a couple of weeks ago and it was fantastic!It was so interesting and fascinating to learn all about the Post office.It was a real insight and we certainly will never think of the post office the same way again.Mail rail was really fun too.They have a lovely little cafe and a couple of merchandise shops on site.They also showed short films as well which were interesting to watch!The postal museum is definitely worth a visit,would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone!

The postal train ride is the main event and is pretty good. It is cramped and a little hot but worth it. The commentary is really insightful. We all enjoyed it.

Fantastic for all ages. Lots to do for the children, well organised. Staff were all friendly. The little cafe was a bit overpriced but nice.
