Overall it was a positive experience for me and my 8 year old son. However it was not half as good as Flambards which is a similar attraction and the ticket price was very high.

The museum is situated on Fore St and I must warn you it is about half way up quite a steep hill! A room is dedicated to Charles Babbage, probably the most famous person from Totnes. Babbage invented the first computer and children will be interested in how the computer revolution started. He was educaed at Totnes Grammar School, the old school is situated further down the hill. There are other collections at the museum covering a variety of periods, Saxon, Elizabethan and Victorian to name a few. The museum is a very interesting place to visit.

This museum is like a little bit of the old-fashioned British tourist industry left over from the…read more1960s, when a typical British Summer holiday would involve driving your petrol-guzzling car around Devon and being entertained by little visitor centres and novelties. It's really rather quaint. However commercial realities have played their part and it isn't perhaps as quaint or picturesque as it may once have been. Teign Valley Glass appear now to make their money by mass-producing simple coloured marbles, but the museum section looks back at a time when glass-blowing and glass-shaping was big business, new, exciting, and a very delicate and sought-after craft. There's also a huge marble run called Snooki, which occupies a whole wall on the inside of the building, in which snooker-ball-sized 'marbles' are constantly circling around a whole variety of different paths in a complex dance. It might sound a bit dull but it's bizarrely captivating, you could watch it for hours. Kids may get frustrated that there isn't much here for them to interact with, it's pretty much all about watching and reading. The shop mainly sells novelties and toys for kids but there is also a 'yard sale' element to it where Teign Valley Glass will sell their seconds (most of which are excellent) at very reduced prices, so it's worth a look. The obligatory cafe is missable.
