About Kempton Steam Museum
- 👍 The Kempton Steam Museum is an impressive and overwhelming place, especially when the Sir William Prescott engine starts.
- 🎯 The three-story-tall machine is grand and beautiful, with a gentle yet distinctly mechanical noise and the smell of lubricating oil adding to the experience.
- 😊 The staff at the museum are friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable, answering all questions thoroughly.
- ⚠️ There is a minor complaint about not having enough seats available to enjoy a cup of tea due to the high number of visitors on that day.
- ⚠️ Unfortunately, some visitors had trouble hearing their guide due to the loud background noise caused by running engines. This issue affected those wearing hearing aids as well.
- ❓It would be great if this problem could be addressed in some way because without it, the museum would definitely deserve a 5-star rating.
- 💪 Despite these issues, it’s hard to imagine anyone leaving unimpressed by this place – even those who aren’t particularly interested in machinery will be amazed.
- ✨ It’s worth visiting this awesome monster steam-driven water pump maintained by volunteers. Plus, your ticket price includes a guided tour that takes around 45 minutes.
