Interesting and eye opening! Well worth a visit. Suitable for kids, if they like their history. Wheelchair accessible and lots of parking. Pay on exit. Cards accepted at the self-service till.

The bunker is disguised as a cabin from the outside. Facilities were surprisingly clean and well maintained. Lots of interesting material and facts. Only downside was it's in the middle of nowhere, quick and easy to ride an uber going in but coming back to town was quite the hurdle as there are no cabs or ubers around the vicinity. But overall it was a lovely and interesting surprise. The environment felt safe.
