It would be a nice place but unfortunately the windmill is being renovated. You need the Ringo app to park in the nearby car park.

What an incredible and inspiring place. The story of George Green, the miller and genius mathematician, was fascinating. The windmill’s story is just as captivating and there is an interactive centre for children to try science and experiments. And all for free, including 2 hours parking, but donations are welcomed. And George Green’s family grave is just a 5 minute walk away in St Micheal’s Church.

A Fantastic Visit to Green’s Windmill and Science Centre Today, my family and I visited Green’s Windmill and Science Centre in Nottingham, and it was a brilliant experience! The site is a perfect mix of history, science, and hands-on learning, making it a fantastic day out for both little ones and grown-ups alike. The beautifully restored windmill is a fascinating piece of history, and seeing it in action was a highlight. Learning about how flour is traditionally milled was both educational and engaging. The Science Centre was also a big hit, packed with fun and interactive exhibits that kept the children entertained while teaching them about science and engineering. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place that truly brings history and science to life, making learning an exciting adventure. I would highly recommend Green’s Windmill and Science Centre to anyone looking for a fun and educational day out in Nottingham!
