Why we'd go
Mail Rail – a ride on the old underground postal railway – is the star, and Sorted! is a miniature postal town where under-8s sort and deliver mail using pulleys, slides and chutes.
Watch out for
Sorted! needs a separate paid ticket for a 45-minute session, so book it when you book entry. The Mail Rail carriages are small and enclosed.
