Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Decided to visit as we wanted something child friendly and we were close to Taunton on holiday.
Finding the Axel Scheffler exhibition was on was a great bonus. Kids got to meet the Gruffalo and some owls in the courtyard before we went into the museum itself.
The exhibition was good to see up close some of the original illustrations from the many books the kids love that he has illustrated. This isn't a permanent exhibit though so check what is on at the time of your visit.
The rest of the museum was well laid out and had some interesting exhibits, they had set out a trail for the kids so they were kept busy whilst the adults looked in more detail.
The team were all friendly and helpful. We spent about 2-3 hours in total which was enough to see everything

We visited while on holiday near by after seeing the Alex Scheffler exhibit was on. My kids love the books he does with JD!
It was a beautiful place, so much to see and learn and the staff were fab! We met The Gruffalo which was very sweet and then saw the exhibit, the down for crafts and back up the museum.
Was all very well done, clean and staff were lovely.

Spent a good couple of hours here. The children enjoyed the book bingo trail and the craft activity, which was really well organised with plenty of glue, scissors etc available. The Axel Scheffler exhibition was interesting and was nice to have the dressing up and books available too. We visit regularly for the children’s activities and they never disappoint

A very interesting museum with lots to see. Visited during school holidays so it was really busy, so id recommended going during term time of you'd prefer a quieter experience. Spent the morning here and very much enjoyed it.

A day out with my 3 year old granddaughter to see the Axel Sheffler exhibition. She loved the petting animals in the courtyard, then then mask making session in the education centre. We had lunch in the museum cafe which was excellent value at under £30 for 3 adults and a child.

We were totally surprised to find a very modern, interesting, well laid out museum. Light and airy. Good explanation of the transformation of this part of the coast from sea to farmed land and how tools and settlements were formed. Why there are so many fossils in the area. Also about the churches and cathedrals. Helpful, friendly, enthusiastic staff. I’m not one to normally go to museums, but this was definitely worth it…..and free! Cafe. Good position to the town centre. Attractive setting.

We visited this museum on a Saturday. It is situated in the castle. Entry is free and the lady that greeted us explained where an what everything was.
There is an old almshouse in the courtyard they was reconstructed from two almshouses when they were demolished on St James Street.
There is an exhibition on currently about the life and work of Ivy Millicent James which was very interesting and the artist was an active suffragette. There were lots of Edwardian clothes to try on and have your photo taken in.
Moving on to the main part of the museum there was a history of Somerset including an almost intact Roman Mosaic which was uncovered locally.
There is a room dedicated to the history of the Duke of Monmouth and his battle with Perkin Warbeck over the throne of England. (Hence the name of one of the Wetherspoons in Taunton is the Perkin Warbeck).
There are lots of things for children’s of all ages to do.
There is a gift shop and a courtyard café.
Well worth a visit.

The Museum of Somerset is located in Taunton Castle and is just under a mile on foot from the station.
It houses the Somerset Military Museum, detailing campaigns of various Somerset regiments over the years right up to the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The local regiment’s involvement at the Battle of Jellalabad in 1842 is very well portrayed.
There is currently an exhibition called Sentimental Journeys which shows the work of Ivy Millicent James.
She was from Weston-Super-Mare and produced watercolours and drawings which were used as postcards and greetings cards in the early 20th century.
She was also an active suffragist.
I spent an enjoyable hour or so here and admission is free.

Don't think so. Didn't see any when I was there, so I wouldn't risk it. Good walks in and around Taunton though.

Walk through the portcullis between fat face and next and it’s on the right just past the Castle Hotel
