Good place to visit. It is really interesting to find out the water's and soap's evolution during time. Also there are some great collections about Leicester, like the history of trams.

I took my four children for a guided tour. The volunteers were so lovely and kind and patient with my children aged 9,7, 5 and 9 months. They let them touch stuff and climb and have a go on a few things. We had a very pleasant relaxed visit. Thank you!
I love Abbey Pumping Station, I've really missed it during lockdown. Looking forward to visiting soon!!
Amazing museum, my favourite sight seeing place in Leicester, definitely worth a visit if you're around!
Free entry good fun for all the family it is required a donation. Very interesting historical facts. It all works but you need to look when they turn it on as the main pump is only used once a month. Contains lift for disabled peoples to get around and is fully accessible by wheel chair ramps. Parking in here is free. Little train rides for kids just outside.
This museum is a gem. Free and next to the Space Centre. Covers Science and Technology. It has limited opening so check first. Kids love it. Very interactive.
We visited in the winter and on a day when the pumps were not in steam. The four pumps are magnificent feats of engineering. The rest of the site is set out for educating children and adults on the way things work. There is a fun display of the way a flush loo works and the pipes to the main sewer. Children and adults are entranced by flushing the 'poo' down the loo and watching it end up in the main sewer. There is also an exhibition on cinema projection, laundry, knitting. Must go back when the pumps is running.
Fantastic place, lots to see and do for all ages, we went the steam train and the chaps on there were great with the kids
