House Of Marbles - Newton Abbot

Weekend W.

Absolutely fantastic! FREE parking, FREE to enter and so much to see and learn! Brilliant for people of all ages. Pottery museum, Glass museum and glass blowing demonstrations to enjoy FREE. Hand made marble pick and mix at a brilliant price starting at 5p per marble. Various marble runs throughout the museum are works of art and the giant marble run in the shop is brilliant also.

Staff were brilliant and the glass blowers were fascinating to watch and their work is insane!!

Coffee shop onsite with some lovely coffee. It was a bit slow getting served but they were busy, so kind of expected.

Outdoor games garden for kids of all ages 😂

Toilets and disabled friendly

Lovely place to visit - a few free museums (with buttons to press to make marbles run) and live glass blowing demos going on to watch.
Cafe was really nice with indoor, outdoor and conservatory seating. We had cream tea which was superb. Only complaint is that the tables are a little small. Very busy so advisable to book especially if you're a big group.
Gift shop is full of gorgeous stuff but pricey. All in all a great putstop on the way home from Devon.

A lovely place to visit, I've wanted to go for years, so pleased to have finally made it!

Absolutely brilliant place, a must see. The kids will love it and the inner child will also be amazed by it all. The glass art is out of this world, it's free to get in and the displays are brilliant. My daughter left something in the gift shop earlier and the staff went over and above. I couldn't recommend this place enough, an absolute gem

Lovely and quirky free place to visit! The marble runs are utterly brilliant. You can learn a lot here in the marble museum, pottery museum and can also watch some glass blowing. There is a children’s park outside too with different games and activities on offer. My favourite part is the giant marble run on the whole big wall in the gift shop. The gift shop has some lovely items. See if your children can find the sleeping bear! There are also different events and workshops that they run here so check the website and book on. Unfortunately the restaurant is disappointing for vegan lunch options, I would suggest just a cake as these were good!

Best breakfast around, orange juice, big breakfast and could not eat it all. Served on a hot plate and food piping hot. Extra Toast and coffees included. Efficient and friendly waiting staff. No wonder it's popular , definitely returning.

OH M Gee, what an absolutely AMAZING place. As a family with children, a couple or solo traveller, this place is so worth a visit, you will not be disappointed. Its shop is Outstanding, their buyers so know what they are about. In two weeks time, I'm going back there to indulge in Retail therapy. For all those young at heart, go for the House of Marbles experience, you'll be on a Roll, their cafe come restaurant is Lush too
