There is a mess of Guinness records with huge noise of voices representing museum! I didn't like it. I got headache with that part of my trip!

Better than the Gold Coast exhibition. Very interesting. The last bit where they had the special lighting, kids were both dancing and having some fun watching the shapes it made. Cool

This place needs an overhaul. Didn't have the heart to tell the guys working there on the way out that to us, it sucked. At least at Ripleys the exhibits are generally in good condition. Guinness is very tired and in need of an update. Like my review for Ripleys, it would be a good educational attraction for parents to... More

Spent about 5 minutes walking through a terrible exhibit that clearly has not been updated since the 1980's. Awful compared to ANY exhibit i've been to. Total waste of 18 dollars. A complete and utter p**s take and insult to the name of Guinness.

My wife and I visited this place during a layover instead of going to the tarpits (whoops!). Bottom Line: It was scandalous to call this a museum. The museum is more of a poorman's art gallery in my opinion. A plaque below a picture cut out or a dummy proclaiming what the record was is the model. The interactive stuff... More

We went with our two kids (8 & 11). They really like this stuff. But frankly it's pretty outdated and the flashy outside is not reflected on the inside. For people from Europe that are not used to inch, feet and lbs many of the records go lost in translation. Some show inches but surely not all. Appatently some visiters... More

Don't bother going there, it's a rip-off. Guinness' brand is being damaged by this old, worn out and pathetic 15 minute walk-through thing. Instead go to Ripley's over the road, and either of the wax museums.

my wife, 14 year old son and I visited the three museums offered in one package, Ripley s, Wax Museum and this one. Perhaps this is the less run down and more interesting of the three although not worth the money spent in the package. It has interesting facts and figures, but same as the other two, has a fair...

this place was kind of a joke. It appeared to be very dated. I didn't like the fact that I had to do a lot of reading, but some of it was interesting. Don't waste your time on this place.

This was on our list of attractions that came with the LA "Go Card" so we decided to check it out. This museum has barely been updated since 1984. Almost all of the "records" reviewed were pre 80's and if there were updates it was common to see black tape over some things or things glued on top of the... More
