Eden camp
I took Scott to Eden Camp and it was a good day out.
Eden Camp as originally a prisoner of war camp, but has been turned into a well-presented museum of modern history. Making use of 33 former POW huts, the extensive displays include a bomber ‘ops’ room, air raid shelters, and the Korean war. Special exhibitions are also held. Hurricane and Spitfire replicas support the many restored military vehicles and items of equipment on display
There are 33 huts and each hut shows you real items on display about the Second World War.
Although on the outside you assume it’s all about the 2nd world war, but some huts tell you about 1st world war and the present (gulf war)
To be honest it’s not really for kids unless they are into military stuff.
I find it annoying seeing kids running in and out when you’re trying to read on the board about the history of each display. Luckily that did not happen in all huts.
We got there at 12pm and when it was nearer to closing we had to rush through last 6 huts as we did not realise the time. So if you’re planning to visit better to go in soon as it opens
