Lots of local interest and old films. Some of these old spa treatments don't look too appealing, others seem to have been reinvented with the come back of the spa. Not a big museum, but good value. More

A lovely little museum to help get an idea of the history of Harrogate. Even if you hate museums normally, don't miss this one. A fascinating Victorian building, typical of the area. More

Interesting little museum, passed an hour in there to escape the rain but enjoyed it! Would have been nice to be able to sample the waters but I think the Health and Safety people have stepped in which seems a shame. More

Great museum, full of local interest, and cheap entry. The water is absolutely foul, so it's a good job they stopped letting you drink it! Hahaha! More
