00:00 Tell me where you think the best museum is in Sheffield please.
00:02 Yeah, the Western Park Museum.
00:04 What do you like about that one?
00:06 Lots of interactive things in there
00:08 and obviously you've got the park as well, so the green space.
00:10 So you can go in the green space, have a picnic there and go into the museum.
00:15 And you've got parks nearby as well.
00:17 Can you tell me which museum in Sheffield you think is the best please?
00:21 Western Park is the destination for us I think.
00:24 My daughter is obsessed with the polar bear which was missing for a while.
00:28 She really enjoys that.
00:30 It's a great place to go and it's free which is brilliant.
00:33 Can you tell me what Sheffield's best museum is please?
00:36 For me and my family it's probably Western Park.
00:40 What do you like about that one?
00:42 The location. It's quite easy to get to for us.
00:46 It's a walk away from our house.
00:49 You've got the park at the side of it which is a nice family walk to go around.
00:55 It's a good area for cafes.
00:58 You've got Starbucks across the road but you've also got an independent coffee truck inside the Western Park grounds.
01:07 In terms of the Western Park Museum itself, it's great for the family.
01:14 I've got a small child so it's good to just take her around and show her a little bit of the history of Sheffield.
01:21 We put on exhibitions every couple of months and changes around.
01:26 You can go a couple of times a year and you don't really feel like you've exhausted your visits there.
01:34 Could you tell me please what you think the best museum is in Sheffield?
01:38 Western Park Museum.
01:40 Why's that?
01:41 It's got a nice little bit for children.
01:43 It's got an area upstairs where you can take a picnic and sit and it's got a good view of the grounds.
01:48 Could you tell me please what you think Sheffield's best museum is?
01:53 I would say it's probably the museum across from the Children's Hospital.
02:00 Is that Western Park?
02:01 Yeah, Western Park Museum.
02:03 It's got lots of good things in it.
02:06 A history of dinosaurs and Sheffield rocks and things like that.
02:12 It's very good for children to learn about the heritage of Sheffield and it's a great day out for any family.
02:22 Could you tell me what you think is the best museum in Sheffield?
02:25 Oh, there are so many to choose from.
02:27 I personally like Kellam Island and I've been there many times with visitors to the area
02:34 because I think it tells the story of Sheffield's industrial history very well.
02:38 So that's probably my favourite one, yeah.
