A really interesting museum - well laid out, interactive and worth a visit. Very poor shop though - get a different buyer and set out your books so potential buyers can actually browse without kneeling on the floor! More

Excellent and informative. Judging by the numbers of families with varying ages of children a great place to go and keep on returning as there is so much to see and learn which cannot be done in one visit.Liverpool is very lucky to have sush a wonderful museum and it is free!! Well done. More

The burger was the best ever. I have eaten burgers in every situation and everywhere so it was a pleasant joy to have this burger and say,'nice'. My wife had fish and chips ( well, we were on holiday) and the batter was light as advertised. The service was ok. We had a pot of tea for two with extra... More
