Nice way to spend a couple of hours
We had a great time at the Cobb n Co museum. I was interested in all the coach’s (as I love the book The Pickwick Papers in old London), we all enjoyed the Roman exhibit and the kids had fun in the science centre part. We went on a Friday and it was quiet, you could take your time walking around (the coach section is a lovely cool building) $32 for a family of 4, I felt it was money well spent. The lady at reception was lovely.

A lot more than just Cobb & Co
Maybe miss-named because this museum is a museum for a lot more than Cobb & Co. Having said that, it has probably the best collection of horse-drawn vehicles I've ever seen in one place. Modern scientific displays were unexpected and a bit out of place in a Cobb & C o Museum. Overall though I enjoyed it. There's also a cafe and gift shop inside the building.
