Beaulieu National Motor Museum, Beaulieu

Fantastic family day out. We have not visited Beaulieu for many years, this was our first visit as a family and will certainly not be our last. The Motor Museum was very interesting and our children (9 & 7) really enjoyed the spy trail, what a great idea. Lovely time spent exploring Palace House and the WW2 exhibit. We cannot speak highly enough of Little Beaulieu play area, what a fantastic addition, well thought out and executed. The children had so much fun playing and my husband and I enjoyed a relaxing sit down in the sun while we waited, we were so impressed with this feature. The icing on the cake is that our tickets are valid for entry to the Motor Museum for the next year! Thank you Beaulieu for a wonderful day out.

Although the museum is excellent, who knew the grounds and extra bits and bobs were so amazing as well? Enormous grounds. Beautiful gardens. Impressive Abbey and ruins. Interesting house and history. And best of all for a parent with a three year old child, THE MOST FANTASTIC AND HUGE ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND EVER! The restaurant is very good as well. Great value compared to rival attractions. Oh, and the monorail is still a wonderful thing!
