- David O2 contributionsThe Beatles Story is a must do on your trip to LiverpoolThis award winning trip theough the lives and careers of Liverpools most famous sons is a awesome. The exhibit is masterfully crafted and contains not only the stories of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, but also recreations of some of the places during their career and many pieces of memorabilia. It is well worth the visit.Visited March 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 25 March 2023
- Gizmo311Boston, Massachusetts495 contributionsGreat ExperienceSo many things to see, do, and learn in this fabulous museum. As long time Beatles fans, we had a blast going through all of the exhibits which take you from their early days up to the present. Make sure to set aside plenty of time for this, I believe they said it would take 1.5 - 2 hours but we spent much more time than that, probably closer to 3 hrs. No matter how much you might think you know about the Beatles, you are guaranteed to learn something that you were unaware of before. Audio guides are included, and they include insightful commentary on the different exhibits. Well worth the time and money spent!!Visited June 2023Written 7 July 2023
- Charlie B2 contributionsGreat but busyI went one weekend to the beatles story. The expirience in general was good and very informative. There were lots of pieces of memorobilia and it was very interesting. But it was too busy there was so many people in very small rooms and corridors. But apart from that it was goodVisited July 2023Travelled with familyWritten 13 September 2023
- andrewjennyHervey Bay, Australia359 contributionsAll things BeatlesA must for all Beatles fans or music fans in general. The exhibit runs in chronological order the beginning of the Beatles history to the end. Plenty of information provided and you are given headsets so you can have an audio description of each display. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Worth a visit when in Liverpool.Visited October 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 November 2023
- Ethelberga HGrantham, United Kingdom646 contributionsInteresting MuseumWe really enjoyed seeing the exhibits and enjoying route around the museum clips of film of the Beatles. You get a real sense of who they were as a group- such diverse backgrounds. Enjoyed the cafe after too for a coffee/ tea but a bit on the dark side- could do with more lighting.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 November 2023
- Wayne MSydney, Australia672 contributionsGreat Beatles ExperienceA great treat for Beatles fans. It's a full on experience as you walk through the differnt years of Beatles history.

A great experience to learn about the Beatles from start to finish.
A long walk around to see everything but definitely worth it!
You have earphones and a keypad to listen and walk at your own pace. Some amazing memorabilia. Definitely worth a visit

A very well designed tour of the Beatles history, with much emphasis of their early years in Liverpool. Suited for both die-hard Beatles lovers and more casual fans.

My wife and I visited on a Saturday morning, yhe whole thing took around 2 hour including a quick drink in the cafe at the end.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Beatles story. A really well put together, interactive trip through the history of the Fab Four. The headset offer a great way to take in all the information but if they aren't your thing there are plenty of signs and labels around for you to make sense of everything without a headset.
Lots of recreations of significant places like Matthew Street, The Cavern, Abbey Road, Johns New York flat as well as some very cool memorabilia.
All in all we thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend a visit if you are a Beatles fan.

Hi, may I ask what the difference between Beatles Story and Liverpool Beatles Museum is? If we are not fans of the Beatles, is it worth visiting both if we just stay in Liverpool for 1 day?

Hi I would like to book with my Tesco Vouchers and there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the booking form to put the voucher no. in. I have a summary/order no and a product code but it doesn't seem to recognise neither of them. Could you please help or do I have to ring and make the booking, which I have tried but it is just an answer machine.
Help appreciated!

Hello,
you're more than welcome to use Tesco Vouchers towards the cost of a ticket. However, these vouchers can not be used to pre-book, they can only be used when you visit as a walk up customer and purchase your ticket on arrival (subject to availability).
We hope you have a great visit.

Is it worth booking online, or pay when we get there ?
Thank you 🙏

We booked online, I don’t think it’s cheaper than paying at the museum. They give you a ticket for 48 hours, no specific time.

Do you just walk there from cruise ship. Sailing on Celebrity. Also would you do both this and a 2 hour bus Beatles Tour?

Hi,
we were in Liverpool last October.
I'm pretty sure the cruise ships dock close.
We allowed a good 3 hours in the Beatles Story, but that's just me taking my time.
The Magical Mystery Tour is a two minute walk away from the Beatles Story and well worth it.
The Cavern Club in Mathew Street is approximately a 15 to 20 minutes walk from the docks, but a taxi will get you there in 5 minutes, and of course, in the same street are are pubs frequented by the Beatles with loads of memorabilia.
You'll love it, just plan in advance.
Best wishes from Martin in England.
Can you show an online purchased ticket on your phone? I don’t have access to a printer.
