We were lucky enough to have a tour with Ian, who was very friendly and interesting and even let myself and my girlfriend try on police uniforms to photograph us. We had an excellent day and I could not recommended it enough. 10/10.

Brighton Toy and Model Museum was established over 25 years ago, and since then we've had many thousand happy visitors. Once inside the museum you'll find our foyer, which is also a Tourist Information Point so you can pop in and ask about any local attractions or events. If we don't know the answer, we'll do our best to look it up! Once you're inside the museum proper, you'll find rooms full of different toys, dolls, construction kits and childrens' playthings stretchign back through the generations. But that's not all. Brighton Toy and Model Museum is also a venue for a variety of different events. We have a small, intimate space where we host The Toy Museum Folk Club, and we're also an official venue for Fringe Brighton, Museums At Night and Brighton Science. We take private bookings too, so if you need a space for your corporate event, and you want something completely out of the ordinary, why not give us a try?

An immensely enjoyable half-hour looking at display after display of childhood memories. Such fun to press a button and set off a train running around a track, and also to learn about the origins of Lego. I wanted to reach in an play with the model buildings. The woman on hand at arrival was very kind and attentive, not just to me but also to all the other visitors. She pointed out in advance some things I might otherwise have missed. One tip: take a stash of 10p coins so you can work some of the slot machine displays.

Some areas of Brighton are really run down and graffiti is a real issue (and not in an artistic way) - particularly up toward the Marina, but the main, central area is filled with lovely little character shops, a fabulous fresh fish shop and museums such as this , which spill out onto the beach, giving a taste of how Brighton used to be. An eclectic and interesting mix of attractions for the visitor and local alike. Visit and support such initiatives - it's so worthy.

Really lovely little place hidden in the arches. Really nice going back in time & seeing how things were back then. Deffo worth a visit.
5. Rampion Visitor Centre
The aim of the centre is to increase awareness and understanding of the wind farm itself, as well as to raise knowledge about offshore wind energy and global climate change. It houses exhibitions, videos, VR experience, and other interactive displays so that visitors can learn more about wind energy and discover the whole Rampion story since its inception over ten years ago.
