A fantastic free thing to do in Luton, Bedfordshire on sunny or rainy days. Great for families, friends, date idea or time on your own to experience the history, fascinating artifacts and beautiful gardens it has to offer in Bedfordshire. The museum even has a couple of  cute chickens.

From lots of classic vehicles, carriages, to antique toys, to farming to stuffed animals, plants in the greenhouse, and even a couple of skeletons, this museum has so much to see and intereting stories to tell of the past.

πŸ› THE PLAY AREA
The play area close to the cafe is perfect for little ones to play while you can sit by and chill out if you like. You will find climbing equipment, a slide is currently and a few other things.

✈️ ARE YOU A PLANE SPOTTER?
If you love plane spotting this is an excellent place to spot them. The planes from Luton Airport will be flying over regularly.

πŸ˜‹ FANCY LUNCH?
If you wanted to go out for just lunch Stockwood Discovery Centre has a cafe serving food and drinks with indoor and outdoor seating. You can see the menu on the pics below. Alternatively you can also take a picnic in the tranquill gardens with plenty of space for the little ones (or big ones) to run around or just take a book, and enjoy the surroundings.

THANK YOU...
We absolutely love Stockwood Discovery Centre, a gem in Bedfordshire which has so much to offer. The volunteers devote so much time to make this a wonderful place to visit for everyone and we can see and appreciate all the hard work they really do. We spent a couple of hours here but you could easily spend half a day here at your own pace. We had an amazing day out with friends.
