Cant recommend this place enough- it was a great family day out for a fussy family of 6, the 4 teens absolutely loved the experience and us parents got involved and showed the kids how it's done The aqua park is also a must for the family loads of fun obstacles and slides! We will be back for round 2 soon - I dont think the kids will let it rest!

Ely Cathedral

With its unique 14th century octagonal lantern tower, Ely Cathedral is counted among the wonders of the medieval world. Much of the Cathedral is over 900 years old and it offers a rich architectural and historical experience, including the sumptuous 13th century Quire and beautiful 14th century Lady Chapel, the largest in the UK.

Ely Cathedral is a sublime experience. You can be adventurous and climb the roof and see the octagon, you can marvel at the colours and devotional aspects of the stained glass museum, or just be amazed by vaulted ceilings and the purity of the Lady Chapel. Check the website and go to evensong to gain an appreciation of the purity of the human voice and the tradition of sacred music.

The Stained Glass Museum, located in Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, and has an inspirational collection of stained glass, from medieval to the modern periods. You need to pay an extra charge to enter, but we are glad that we did. Over 125 original stained glass windows from across the UK and Europe are displayed in the main gallery. The museum is within the cathedral, you have to climb some stairs (40) to reach it but this is staggered to allow safe passing post Covid. There are some good displays that show how the different glass is actually made, but the treat here is with the actual glass, its colours and how light affects it......so beautiful.

Waterside Antiques

Reviewed By glynn56 - Ely, United Kingdom

Wonderful treasure trove of items from the past.I spent the best part of a day looking around reminiscing the past, looking at items from my childhood. Spread over 3-4 floors there was lots to see, I will have to go back to finish off. So next time I have a few hours to spare, I'm going back! I mean hours!!

Raf Witchford Museum

Reviewed By louisesJ9235UK - Ely, United Kingdom

I am glad I looked for it in daylight as it is a little difficult to find. So worth it though! I took a small Cub Pack and the two amazing and lovely ladies went out of their way to make us welcome and give the Cubs (and leaders) a great evening. I loved that it was full of information, but presented in many ways and with many different kinds of focus for its size. All the Cubs and leaders loved it.
