Milton Keynes Museum is an independent local museum in the parish of Wolverton and Greenleys in Milton Keynes, England. It is mostly run by volunteers with a small number of paid staff.
The museum is housed in a former Victorian farmstead. It covers the history of the Milton Keynes area, including northern Buckinghamshire and southern Northamptonshire, from the year 1800 onwards. It includes the Stacey Hill Collection of rural life, consisting of agricultural, domestic, industrial, and social objects connected to the area before the 1967 foundation of Milton Keynes.
Great place to visit, worth every penny, interesting and the phone museum hands on for everybody. Old musical instruments that still play a tune and staff to show you how they operate. Cook toast on a roaring fire then on to the high street and visit the shops, even a well stocked sweet shop where you can buy your favourite sweeties. The tea room is a must then onto the transport collection. A great day out for all. Will be going back with other grandchildren.

Great place to take kids for a few hours with lots of hands on things to do. Eclectic mix of things to see, volunteers are really friendly and helpful. Tea room is great and very reasonably priced

Our family really enjoy going to MK Museum we always learn something new about the history of Milton Keynes and its all very interactive for the kids. The cost for all 5 of us is cheap (about £26 for a family ticket). We normally spend about 2 hours there. I would highly recommend it.

It is a great museum where you can take,play and operate pretty much everything. Kids love it. Lots of things explained by volunteers. And there is a telephones collection which worth a separate museum. And they all are working! Well spent 3 hours, great place, highly recommended.

Great local museum let down by very slow service in cafe. Shouldn't have to wait 45 minutes for a sandwich! Needs to improve when larger visitor numbers hopefully arrive with extension. Perhaps you need to employ people in the cafe rather than using volunteers Doris and Ethel. Most museums gain profits from secondary spend in catering outlets. Works wonders at NT properties. Perhaps you need paid employees where you are going to make the most money.

We took the grandchildren to MK Museum again and they loved it!!! The volunteers did a brilliant job of engaging their interest in the first two rooms, as ever and though quite busy we really enjoyed the visit. The section with the old shops is my favourite and some of the brands are vaguely familiar from when I was little. To be honest, you'd have a job not to find something interesting here, as there is plenty to see and look at. In the old kitchen a lady volunteer was getting families to toast bread on toasting forks, which was great fun!! All in all, a friendly and interesting museum which is always worth a visit.

Beautifully laid out display of past rustic life in Stony Stratford and surrounding area. From past to modern, this museum is a great place to see life as had occurred and the people who made it all possible. Great place to visit.

Good place to spend time and dwell into the past. The volunteers are very enthusiastic and explains the stuff very much in detail. This is not as big of any museum in London however that gives opportunity to cover all of it in a day. Good cafes and store options. Friendly staff.
