HERE IS A REVIEW I PUT ON TRIP ADVISOR- AS I MENTION, IT HELPS IF A TOURIST ATTRACTION IS ACTUALLY OPEN!
I've visited Great Yarmouth several times in recent years and will be there again from May 20th to May 27th. We wanted to visit the wonderful Tolhouse Museum as it has been five years since we last went inside.
Imagine my dismay when I checked the website and found out that it only opens during school holidays. What's that all about? What is the point of having a paying attraction if you're very selective regarding when you open the doors? Adults want to visit museums too, you know. And why is it always closed on Saturdays when that day has the potential to be the most busy? I know that economic times are hard and am not suggesting that it's open 24/7 but would it be too difficult to open, say, one day during the week and one day at the weekend, even if only for limited hours such as 11-3? Or maybe even opening on request, via previous arrangement.
Companies moan that they can't attract enough interest, but they do actually have to be open for customers to walk through the doors! The great Yesterday's World is now, sadly, no more, as is the Amazonia Reptile House and the Winter Gardens have long been obsolete. I can see the Tolhouse Museum going the same way if it does not sort this out.

The Tolhouse Museum replied to this post, offering to open up, at my convenience, so that my partner and I can see inside the museum. What excellent customer service! I've emailed dates and I hope they reply.
