First of all, wasn't sure about the escape room as a concept, but how wrong I was! It's genius! I thought, 60mins, how good could it really be? But it's great fun, can be quite high pressure, a laugh, difficult but satisfying and leaves you on a real high! Can't tell details of the room, cause that's a spoiler, so I won't! We did Gold Rush, which is mining helmets, gold digging, dynamite themed... You've solve the puzzles to escape the mining hatch/tunnel... We are a family of 5, 2 adults, a 13yr old, 8yr old and 5yr old and we all had fun! Some of it a wee bit tricky for he youngest, cause she couldn't reach or read, but if you keep her involved she helped where she could! It can end up quite tense, frustration can be felt bubbling inside! But we all survived and came out friends! Highly recommended to anyone that asks! If you are going as family with younger people I think Gold Rush is the best room (there is a choice of 4 rooms in total) with Cara next for families. black Pearl is good, but slightly more difficult (in our opinion) for younger families, and Saw Room is over 16's only! Go for it, you got nothing to lose, the staff are great, it's fun, exciting and you get a cool photo at the end!!!

Had a wonderful time with the kids walking the alpacas and meeting all the other animals. We learned a lot about all of the animals and really enjoyed ourselves. We got to choose an alpaca to walk and the kids got an activity pack at the end. There is also a little shop where the kids bought some bits at a reasonable price. It was muddy, so wellies suggested. Highly recommend a trip here and will come back the next time we are up un Scotland!

This is everything a museum should be. Full of intriguing exhibits that surprise and inform, not so big that it's overwhelming, but with plenty to see. There's something for everyone - art, local history, natural history... and the information that's provided about each item is informative. Having been to the V&A, expecting it to be the highlight of our visit to Dundee, I came away from the McManus feeling that the V&A has a lot to learn from this museum. The building is beautifu, and the cafe does good cakes. Highly recommended all round!
