It's been a few weeks now and I still think about this experience. I really loved how they created the village (although I could have done without the scents hahah) and even built out some of the people based on bones. The attention to detail (such as the tattoos and spoken language) was awesome. The museum was great and full of fantastic artifacts. Absolutely worth visiting, to be honest.

Spoke with two very sweet employees, who permitted me to taste a few candies before committing to purchase. This seemed fair, as they weren't busy and I am American, which meant I wasn't sure what things would taste like. In any case, the prices are reasonable. The staff helpful and kind.

It's maintained nicely, with a small cafe at the entrance. There's a good variety of films always being screened, although since there aren't too many screens the times aren't always the most convenient. Americans beware though! If you are a butter lover like me, while the concessions do serve popcorn, there is no extra butter. Major disappointment. I don't care if it's healthier for me, it still stinks.

Enjoy each "decade" of British history between window exhibits , a Victorian street you can walk through (and in and out of shops , sit in a school classroom and sit in a prison cell) and enjoy tons of interactive exhibits such as a room full of vintage arcades and a WWI trench. The prison is really neat - from getting a sense of how it was Luis to be locked in one of the cells to the ability to watch/listen holograms of famous prisoners - very interesting and a highlight in York!!
