This was my first visit and I can say that I was very impressed by the enthusiasm of the volunteers who man the houses etc that you visit and give stories about who lived in the buildings before they had been moved to the museum. We had a canal boat trip in the underground tunnels which we really enjoyed. There... More

On our arrival we didn't know what to expect. We first decided to visit the mine. There was a queue which took quite a while to get through. When we started to decend the mine it was very scary and my 7 yr did get a bit frightened. The commentary was very interesting but I was glad to get out!... More

Super visit to the museum with the children. They loved the classic cars, the funfair and trying to roll the hoop. The children loved the sweet and cake shop and having a drink in the pub yard! The best thing is that because I agreed to Gift Aid, we can go again for free!

We had a day to spare between Wales and Cotswolds and decided to spend it at the Black Country Living Museum. Great day out. Don't miss going down the mine and the trip on the long boats in the maze of underground canals. Enthusistic staff in period costume - fish for lunch - all good value.

This was my second visit and I loved it, the weather may have helped as it was a lovely sunny day. The mine was very informative. Fish & chips wonderful Would we return - oh YES Karl in the Gents outfitters is a credit to the musuem.

Visited here in June 2013 and we were lucky to get a beautiful day for weather. All the costume characters were brilliant, telling us stories and they were all really informative. It just wasn't like being in a museum walking around the village and exploring all the houses, gardens and different buildings that you come across. Had a bag of... More

The real beauty of this place is the guides, all dressed in period costume and ready to chat about what they're doing. If you aren't comfortable chatting away (eg if you are a teenager) you won't get the full benefit of this fascinating place. My favourite part was the pub - lovely local mild - but that's not surprising really.

Visited here in May 2013. Family of four - Mum, Dad, two sons aged 9 and 7. Loved every minute of our time at the museum. The staff were great and very helpful. Having the people in costume in the houses/shops etc. is a great touch. We had taken lunch with us but bought a bag of chips from the... More

Guaranteed to provide a nice day, even on the second or third visit! There is lots to look at and visit. The school lesson looked like a lot of fun and you can even get a nice old bus or tram around when your legs are getting a little tired. We had a great day!
