"Our kids really enjoyed this museum. The displays were interactive and interesting. Audio guides in English were available and interesting. Another reason the museum was so interesting for our kids was their love of Minecraft, even though no reference to minecraft is made at the museum, our children were able to make many connections between what was found in the site and what is found in the minecraft world.
There is also a really cool digital puzzle table our people spent a lot of time at. All in all, we only had time to visit the main exhibition and didn’t see the other two exhibitions. So for a small museum, there is plenty to see/do. We spent a good 90 mins in the museum."

"We waited a few years for this museum to open and we were not disappointed. Loved learning about the region during the Neolithic age. Children of all ages will love the interactive games."
