Read some of the reviews above and just seem that people are looking for a boring museum where you stand and look at things. This is so different this is a working, moving and living museum and very much unlike any others. I own an annual pass and return on a very regular basis, I'm not too lazy to walk... more

I have visited the Museum since I was tiny and there is something magical about the place. The people who work there are very helpful and thats the way the Museum works. If you talk to the demonstrators or tram drivers they usually cheer up your day no matter what the weather, putting the world to rights and reminiscing about... more

Arrived at Beamish having followed the clear and Easy signs from the A1 didn't need the sat nav. The price of £32.00 for 2 adults to me was a bit over price but having said that we used some Clubcard deals so it only cost a £1 each to get in the place. We gained entry without too much waiting.... more

Visited the open air museum at Beamish & the nostalgia was wonderful. The 1913 town was a real treat and many memories of things I had not seen since the 1950s & early 1960s came flooding back.

Arrived here in pouring rain & asked car park attendant if it was worth a vist. At first he said "No" then changed his mind & said to go & see someone inside. We did & was told there was plenty of shelter & anyway the rain was clearing up by 11am. Well it not only rained all day but... more

The museum is not too bad although I would say very expensive for what is there. The whole museum is spread out and you can travel from each section on one of the trams and... more

First of all they need to do something about the entry system. Although we only had about a 15 minute wait we heard coach drivers asking and complaining about the changes that had been made. We too thought it was expensive for the visitor from outside the NE whereas the ticket options for locals were far better. Of all the... more
