We really enjoyed our visit to the museum. To see the kind of homes people lived in and businesses they ran from the 1700s right up to the 1950s was fascinating. I couldn't believe the entry was free although they do ask for a donation which we were happy to give. We were also given a guide book which was very informative. There is quite a walk between the main part of the museum and the 1700s houses which looked well maintained. We visited on a weekend and there were volunteers in costume in the 1700s town with fires burning which gave it an authentic feel. We would have liked to have stayed longer as we didn't get a chance to explore all the buildings or have lunch but rural bus services are few and far between. We were there almost 2hrs and could have easily stayed an extra 1-1.5hrs but the next bus was 3hrs later and the museum would have closed by then. If the bus service was more frequent we would have definitely stayed longer.

Have visited,the outside museum,here before & enjoyed looking & also reminiscing,about items in some of the houses. This time,we were able to see new dwellings,that had been completed. We also,pre-booked,to visit "The Store"which is the large indoor museum. This was a guided tour,of many items,that have been donated or bought,which was very interesting. Lots of information,on many of the objects & a wide assortment,with lots of memories,from bygone days. Well worth a visit. Outdoor wooden play area,beside cafe too. Unfortunately,the sweet shop was closed,which was fun,to buy sweets from before. Keep in mind,that the cafe opening/closing times,are not the same,as displayed.

Free entry and only £2 for the car park. Bought a guide book and gave a donation more than worth it for this very informative museum. The 1700 section Baile Gean was used in the Outlander series 1 episode Rent, where Jamie Fraser had his shirt ripped off!! Staff member in authentic costume was very knowledgeable.Beautiful wood carvings are in the pinewood section. Had we been more adventurous we could have a go in a coracle The 19th century to 1940’s half is so diverse from a railway halt to a shinty pavilion. There were even a pair of highland coos Lucky and Sprout. Only disappointment the sweet shop was not open. I shared some Cadbury buttons with a disappointed child.

Stunning location, loads to see. Entry is by donation. Part of the experience was closed due to severe flooding - as the river had burst its banks. However we still managed to spend a good few hours wandering around at our leisure. Well laid out with lots of interesting things to see. Staff very chatty and helpful. Car and coach parking, cafe and toilets on site. Lots of space for children to run free in a safe environment too. Will definitely go back.

Our second visit the first was 2 years ago, so I was extremely excited to visit when the whole site was open. If you're an outlander fan, you'll recognise the village from the episode 'rent' in season one. This truely is a place not to miss the staff are absolutely incredible and happy to discuss and answer any questions

This is a great outdoor museum. We really enjoyed our visit here. The volunteers were friendly. Free to enter and the ability to leave a donation which we did. Took a good few hours to walk round everywhere and the young grand children found it very interesting and enjoyed finding the easter bunnies. We had a great lunch in the café as well. The best place for us was the village but liked it all. Didn't manage to see any red squirrels in this visit. Would definitely recommend.

We arrived at the museum to a lovely warm welcome from the lady on the booth at the gate. Then we met Helen and handed over our donation of my mums Highland Dress Outfit to the museum. We arrange to meet Helen once we had finished our tour of the museum and headed off in the direction of the Township. We passed through the wooded area and admired the wonderful animals which had been carved out of fallen trees. They were so real looking. The Township was wonderful each house was so authentic and Beth was so helpful friendly and knowledgeable. She even helped us with the times of the buses back to Aviemore. Thank you. We then headed back visiting the Tailors, School, Post Office, Station Waiting Room, All the different era's of houses and the farm. During our visit to the farm we met Sandy MacDonald who told us about the farm. He was a friendly, knowledgeable and lovely man. We had a nice chat about the MacDonald clans and I told him my Granny was a McDonald from Muff in Londonderry now in Donegal. We were blown away with each building. This is the most fascinating, interesting and wonderful museum we have ever visited. We then met with Helen Liz and Heather to discuss our donation. What a wonderful collection of items they have stored. Thank ladies you for all your help. If you are ever in the area please visit HIghland Folk Museum because if you dont you will miss this gem of a place. At the end of your visit you can treat yourself to a lovely cup of coffee and cake in the museum tearoom.

We were recommended to stop off here on our way from Aviemore to Pitlochry. We spent several hours walking around the site, which is all outside, and found it fascinating. Some of the buildings have people in period costume explaining more about the era and how life was lived in the past. We enjoyed in particular learning how to spin wool to create yarn and having an inkpen writing lesson in the School. We were told that admission is free, which is technically correct but there is some expectation/encouragement to give a donation. We felt this was more than justified and were very happy to pay our way.

We went to the vintage day on Sunday 26th May. It poured with rain in the morning but it didn't dampen our experience. It was great to see the vintage vehicles and walk around the indoor exhibition. What a collection of things to see, brought back many memories of time spent with my grandparents at their terraced home in Staffordshire. We were happy to make a donation to the museum. Keep up the great work you are doing. We will visit again when we are next in the Highlands. So much more that we were unable to see yet.

Amazing, visit.Not to be missed. Drove past it for 6 months & finally visited just b4 we left. Detest going to museums, but this wasn't one! The entrance projects a small attraction but it's huge & great fun. Children will simply love it. There is a play area too. The old man( forget his name) was a lovely guide. Do not miss this. Have enough time to go through the village at leisure. I WANT TO GO BACK again & again. Left a piece of my heart in Scotland & a big chunk of that in this attraction!
