Had a good couple of hours here one afternoon. Loved it all. Took me back to my childhood and also learned a lot about the history of Liverpool. Fantastic views from the upper floor windows across the Mersey. More

We enjoyed a wonderful couple of hours here, as a bitterly cold wind put paid to our intended boat tour of the docks, and could have stayed much longer. This is a most imaginatively designed museum; it looks as if no expense has been spared to deliver a memorable experience to visitors. Housed in a striking building, dramatically situated at... More

Went here a week ago and haven't stopped raving about it since. If you're a scouser you have to visit this, if not, I still think it would be interesting and worthwhile. I am not one for museums at all but I loved everything about this and need to go back several times as I didn't complete it. On the... More

As well as traditional history there is a wonderful anfd fascinating social aspect to the displays that can be enjoyed by all ages. I love the building,... More

It has a great location, has interesting exhibitions. the planetarium is free and well worth the 10 minutes, kids just love the night sky. We recently saw the dinosaur exhibition, and it was world class. The picnic area upstairs is perfect for rainy days, When it is busy, you would rather take the stairs as you might need to wait...
