Really fun way to get to grips with the history of Rhodes, especially with a child in tow. I’ve taken party in a few similar things in the past, and this one had a few extra tricks up its sleeve. The displays outside were focused on an adult audience, but there were a couple of lovely photo opportunities there for the little ones.
