Excellent film.
We visited the park and museum last year and were massively impressed. The museum is beautifully laid out and filled with lots of interesting exhibits.
Everybody should visit this important venue when visiting the Southampton area.

Its a fantastic park, a great way to spend a day in the summer.
I wish they would bring back the Hampshire pass I used to go to all these places regularly with the family.
