Whenever I went to York as a kid I had to go here! Can't believe I've only just found out it was flooded. Will definitely go when it reopens. Xxx

Enjoyed the ride so much, we went on it twice. Shame it is so short. The interactive parts are really good, as you can touch, taste, smell and listen....

Informative and insightful but overwhelmed by the chemical smells used in an enclosed space .... Would have enjoyed it more if these were not used
