We live in Liverpool, which is not short of museums and art galleries, but this is one which you shouldn't miss if you like modern art, even if here for a short time. The space is interesting and varied and the exhibitions vary from quirky to breathtaking. Suitable for older children and adults. You should expect to spend at least... More

really great place to go. full of interesting art. some not suitable for children and some you wonder how is that even art? but its still a great place. its technically free though there is a box asking for a donation. the little gift shop is full of fantastic books. we could have spent a fortune. its not over priced...

Thr much heralded Alice exhibition was disappointing and unsuitable for children. Other exhibits are just not appealing to the mainstream. More

Tate, Liverpool has a fantastic location in Albert Dock and has galleries and exhibitions on all floors. Art can (and will) provoke different reactions for different people so it almost impossible for a review to provide anything other than one's own personal experience. If you have time to contemplate the artwork with an open mind it may inspire you or... More

Dissapointing. Art is all a matter of opinion though, so I would advise people to go, some may find it great! It's modern, which is something I am not keen on with art. A piece with 4 tv screens and 4 people being sick on them - not something I am highly impressed with!! More

Visited the Tate Liverpool on a weekend in late January. General admission was free although we paid extra to get into the special exhibition that was on. There weren't many other visitors which was good as we felt we could wander through as a leisurely pace. Obviously modern art isn't everyone's cup of tea but personally I'd much rather visit... More
