Ryedale Folk Museum

Lovely little museum. Visited for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at what was here. Plenty of different time periods to visit and see. Nice little outside games along the way to play as a family. Welcoming staff. Even had a free homecooked jam tart. Lovely to see a little apple orchard.

We loved this museum. Much bigger than we thought once we entered through the shop. Plenty to see and explore. Great for all ages. Little hamlet /village kept as traditional as the day it was built. Buildings were stocked with plenty of items from that time and how those people lived back then. Lots of information board on your way round. Centred in a beautiful small village.

Spent a good 5 hours here, including coffee at a nearby coffee shop. The entrance ticket gives you a discount in the village coffee shops. The museums was really well kept, staff were helpful and friendly and the entrance price is very good value. Had a lovely day but be aware of the two pigs.. They are always hungry and know the sound of you opening the bag of food that's available to feed them. 😄.

A great little discovery. We stopped here in the way home from a weekend away. Pay once and have entry for a year. Some great buildings to explore. Some amazing olden days cottages showing how people would have lived.

Much bigger than first impression, well worth the entrance fee

A really nice few hours out. They had a separate trail of counting hob like gnomes, which kept kids happy. Not too cheap but you can return (although u likely we will in the year as far away). Buildings are informative and lots to see. Great on a sunny day you are in and out of buildings. Nice effort with kids games, ride ons and small play zones. We enjoyed feeding the pigs and chickens for a small fee too. No cafe on site but of course you can leave and go to the ones in the village and return. Its layout takes you up and away from the entrance though so we finished our loop first. Shop on entry and exit was nice. Not much linked to the history of the place.

Lovely place. Lots to see. We visited in march but I'm sure it will be even more spectacular in spring/summer when the animals are back and the crops and flowers are growing. Well worth a visit.

A fantastic place to explore! Loads of historic houses to wander through, with plenty of little details to bring the past to life. Very welcoming for children – our 5-year-old loved the 'Hob' hunt (searching for little gnome-like dolls in the houses) and the kids’ games. Great value too, with the very reasonable entry price giving you unlimited visits for a year. Set in a beautiful village that’s lovely for a wander afterwards.
