I recently visited Green's Windmill and Science Centre together with my daughter and her baby son.
We really enjoyed the experience and quickly became fully immersed in all the activities in both the windmill and the science centre.
I am over 70 years of age but found no problem climbing the laddered steps to the top of the windmill and my daughter, an active young mum, also found the steps no restriction to her and her baby son.
We had an enjoyable couple of hours. The helpers were all friendly and we had an interesting chat with Eddy who answered all and any questions we presented him with.
We would highly recommend a visit to all ages. We found it both very interesting and fun.

The place is great for kids and you can climb up learning about the windmill and what it does at which stages. Great kids play area for development and there is a park for kids too to play. Super for families to go to.
Green's Windmill is a lovely patch of green space in the heart of the city centre. There is a great play area at the foot of the mill and behind the mill is a wonderful community garden which is hidden away. The mill has a lot of history and is great for looking around. Sadly at the time of writing this review the sails are being repaired and the windmill is not operating. When it does the shop sells flour from the mill. A great place to visit.
Went during the week so it was lovely and peaceful. Nice to take a picnic, playground for kids just down the hill. The staff where very friendly.
Absolutely love it the windmill is fantastic they have a little garden with a park for the kids and if u love science come have a look a really interesting place to take kids
Amazing place to visit with friends visiting Nottingham or just a family trip.
It was sad to hear there are issues with funding for repair, so windmil is currently (28.5.2023) without sails, and they probably don't go up until next year. It is worth making a donation £5. To help preserve this beautiful still functional windmill.
Volunteers are always friendly, they have got a good selection of hot drinks to fuel a family bike trip.

Beautiful like Jem of a place , great history friendly staff , coffee available to ... Free parking for the first 2hrs £5 there after, i use the RingGo app to book my parking ( still needed even when free )
Recently did group baking session here for around 10 adults, and whilst they don't often do adult groups, it was executed perfectly. They bulked up the ingredient portions and there was plenty (my pizza ended up being 2 meals), despite our ticket prices not changing! Plus they catered for dietary requirements well. We got a fab tour of the windmill and enjoyed looking round the science centre and the garden as well. The whole team there are excellent, thanks for making our visit great!
