Took the family to see this, only to find this is not your average exhibition - as you also get to take part in a Doctor Who adventure! See a trailer for the fifth series, go through the crack in the wall, the kids get to fly the Tardis, and you are surrounded by Daleks! Photograpy is not permitted in... More

We went here for y son's 7th Birthday. We took him as a surprise and he really enjoyed it. The initial bit of the experience is brilliant (if a bit scary for small children). We were lucky to go on a day which was not too busy which meant that there was room to move. When you have finished with... More

My husband and daughter are obsessed with Dr Who, so we had to go here. It was my husband's one request. Unfortunately, it's quite a ways away from every other London attraction, and getting there is a pain in the butt. So, allow ample time to get there. But, it ended up being worth it for them. I don't care... More

As a big Dr who fan this was a need to visit. Visited with 2 for 1 offer in January. If you have visited the Blackpool museum, it is similar to that aspect, expect that you do a scenario at the start where you go in a group of about 30-40 people. The scenario experience lasts about 45 minutes and... More

We had pre-booked tickets for 1400 hrs. over the phone and were advised to turn up 15 minutes before this time. ? When I booked, I was advised that the whole thing would take around 2-3 hours for the complete Dr. Who experience. When we arrived at Olympia we were told to join the long queue outside the building and... More

We were pre-booked for a 3pm slot, arrive just before 3pm (no underground running that day from Earls Court ) and queued for over an hour before finally making it into the Experience itself. The tour did not disappoint and the museum exhibits brought back a lot of memories. Olympia is a poor choice of venue and air conditioning would... More

Was unsure about going as thought would be kid based but really enjoyed it. Main experience had only 1 totally kid-centric area and the rest was ideal for fans of all age so wasn't too embarrassed being in an adult group. Great to see original sets and costumes not only from the current Doctor era but also from my own... More

I watched a few seasons of Dr. Who (with the 9th Doctor) and loved them. It was a great experience, even for fans that aren't really obsessed. There are very few references you won't get as long as you know the main characters and enemies. It's a relatively short time in the actual experience, but what was there was very... More

My Doctor Who obsessed kids HAD to come here on our recent trip to London...I can barely tolerate the program but I really enjoyed this exhibition/experience. We went on a Friday afternoon and it was not very busy at all, we could really take our time and look at everything in depth. You can take photographs in the exhibition section.... More
