A great museum just opposite the space centre where parking is available, Very fascinating to walk round

We visited whilst passing on a canal boat holiday on the Leicester Ring. We were suprised to not be charged an entry fee, great start. The museum itself is small but has some great general information, some really good local history, and some really good interactive stuff for kids. You can see one of the first electric cars inside the building, how works toilet, how tram works , etc. Great interaction between visitors and exhibits. Excellent place for family day. No admission fee . Recommended
