These days you don't get much for free, so hats off to Lincolnshire for keeping this very interesting museum open and free for visitors. We were welcomed by a friendly and helpful volunteer, and enjoyed a variety of displays, from a vintage style drapers and grocer's shop to 'Daphne' the huge world war tank. Didn't have time for a cuppa in the cafe but will pop in next time. It's important we remember our history and heritage, so thank you to all staff and volunteers, and those decision makers who maintain the funding.

What a fabulous place. Surpassed our expectations, it’s so vast and varied. Each section was well presented and prompted lots of conversations, especially the film of the tank. Don’t expect a stuffy boring half hour walk round some tired old exhibits, the standard of displays was excellent. Free entry but we all chucked a voluntary contribution in and happy to do so, all the staff were lovely.

What a great place to spend a rainy morning (not obligatory, it would be just as good on a sunny afternoon). Plenty of exhibits to stir the memory cells of those of a certain generation, but also plenty to remind younger people what our parents, grandparents, and real people had to experience. It covers many aspects of everyday life and also the more poignant eras of our recent history. Oh, and they have a real tank! A WW1 female tank, who knew they had male and female tanks? Go and find out why! And a reminder that whilst it's free to go in, these places need donations to survive.

You don't get much in this life for nothing any more. So when you happen across a museum that is totally free to enter for the whole family it really is too good to miss. And the Museum Of Lincolnshire Life doesn't let you down in any way. A really interesting glimpse into life as it once would have been. Interesting exhibits at every turn and something to catch the eye of every member of the family. A great way to spend an hour so just having a good look around and casting your eye over the history on offer.

This is our second visit here, first many years ago. Its free to enter, but leave a donation for the upkeep. Most of the exhibits are housed in the old barracks. There is a small section dedicated to the Lincolnshire regiment, and lots of old machinery, and a tank. I liked the old rooms of the houses best, and the shops from years gone by. There is a small cafe, which is rather nice, and toilets

We recently moved up to Lincolnshire from South Devon. Reading around some history of engineering stuff I discovered what a rich and innovative source Lincolnshire has been to the field. I was amazed. On our way back home in South Lincs from a trip 'up North', we called in here so that I could see a surviving piece of equipment in the flesh. It was very near to closing time, but Tim understood what I wanted and pointed me in the right direction with great enthusiasm, so I got to see what I wanted without delay. Tim was great - and I will certainly be going back. Lincs is a big country & it is well over an hour's drive from home, but I think it's a fabulous place & will be making the effort to go back soon.

Went Tuesday 30th July with my husband and an older relative and we all found it interesting. We haven't yet completed it and hope to go back again to look at the displays upstairs. The lady (staff or volunteer) in one of the rooms who was explaining about the practices of seance holders etc. was very interesting. The greatest asset is the staff - the 2 gentlemen in reception were very friendly, passionate about the museum and went out of their way to help us. Their kindness was much appreciated.

Amazing wee local history museum. It's free to get in but worthy of a donation. So much more interesting than the castle or cathedral. Friendly staff. Take a few hours and have a good look round - loads to see and learn.

What a little gem! So much to see, well laid out and the volunteers are so helpful. Small cafe with sandwiches, toasties etc and cake, sitting in a previously loved book shop, sales of books go towards museum upkeep.

We had a very interesting day at the museum. It is laid out brilliant, it various rooms in a house, brought back memories many items that were used in my own childhood The military sector was very interesting and a Huge collection of military military medals. The various vehicles, bicycle, agricultural various tools and machines. The world war one military tank. All are very impressive.
