19th-century funfairs were a social phenomenon, as important as cathedrals in the preceding centuries and television today. The fairground was the cradle of most modern forms of entertainment: theatres, music hall shows, hawkers, entertaining sports, illusionists, acrobats, jugglers, puppeteers, and many more. Embark on an unforgettable journey through our different areas. The golden rule for this immersive visit is to keep your eyes wide open while guided by our comedians. This enchanting museum will thrill both the young and the young at heart with its fairground paraphernalia and mechanised performances. One of the most memorable experiences during the tour is to ride on centenary attractions and cycle on the bicycle merry-go-round, exactly as our great-grandparents could have done in 1897.
