Bletchley Park with a toddler?

I really want to go there but am wondering how toddler-proof it is? Is it some where that a 2 year old could walk around safely or are there fragile exhibits at toddler level?

We went here at the weekend, but with older children (12 &14), who enjoyed it. Obv not aimed at toddlers, but the more fragile items are encased as in a museum. Toddler would find it a bit boring, but there are things he/she might enjoy- exhibition of wartime toys including model village out of toy farm animals, cars etc (in a glass box!). A room filled with old computers that is hands on- they don't do much but keys can be pressed. The grounds are very large albeit delapidated in parts so a push chair would be useful. There is some space to run about a bit but beware of the lake! To get the most out of it you would need to go on a guided tour (we didn't) but this would bore a toddler to death as it is quite long. We have been twice & have not seen everything yet. The ticket lets you have return visits free for 12 months, and under 12 yos are free, so its good value if you live locally. Hope this is of some help.

Thank you - very helpful. I've been reading books about it and really want to go.

I'm about 45 mins away so could make a few trips to see everything.
