Nice little run through mate. My parents used to take me here when I was a kid back in the 90s - I of course took much of it for granted back then but loved the detailed models and the fact there was so many interactive bits and pieces (buttons to be pressed, LEDs to light stuff up) and a really good atmosphere that went with the times / rooms. Now my niece is the same age as I was back then and we've just got a years pass to the RE. She is obsessed with the medals and loves taking it all in. I need to head back myself and take it all in, all the stuff I'd have skipped over as a kid! Nobody learns real history anymore which is why everybody takes what they have for granted. If they knew what needed to be sacrificed in order to have the freedom we have today, things might start to change for the better...! Places like this are more important than ever.
That is really cool you can enjoy it again with your niece, I really enjoy spending time there. It is so chilled, and a joy to walk around. It really is worth a revist, and such good value. The medal display, and the stories behind how they were achieved are incredible. I appreciate you spending time watching the video, and for sharing your own personal experience with me. All the best, and many thanks.
