We visited as a family for the Father Christmas experience. The children (11 and 9) really enjoyed their visit and we thought it was excellent value for money. We booked for 1.30pm, but arrived at 1pm. We were given a time of 2.30 to see Santa and spent the time before this exploring the museum itself, whilst collecting items that Father Christmas had lost. The Father Christmas experience itself lasted just under half an hour and was lovely and relaxed, with a small number of children in each audience. Father Christmas told a story (which included the items the children had collected around the museum) and then went round each child individually to chat to them and give them a gift. There was then a chance for photos. The gifts were of great quality and were age appropriate. Also included with the ticket was a Christmas craft, where children could decorate a wooden sleigh with their initial on to take home to hang on the tree. Overall, we felt this was an excellent christmas experience that caters for children who are older as well as younger.

Came here with teenage child whose doing their GCSE in history. Teacher suggested a visit. They found it very useful for their studies. But as a family we also enjoyed it. Cafe is also great with very friendly and helpful staff.

Had a fabulous afternoon at the museum. It was my third visit there, last one been about 3/4 years ago. The museum has been upgraded since I last went and it has been very much improved with something for all ages. I visited with a colleague and three elderly clients. All areas accessible for wheelchairs. We all enjoyed the visit and even had a drink in the cafe. Our taxi was late picking me and my client up and a gentleman let us wait inside even though the museum shut at 5pm. I want to say a big thank you to him, sorry I didn't catch your name but thank you for waiting. If you haven't been for a few years pre covid it is definitely worth a revisit plus your ticket last for a year.

Visited with friends , great museum, really interesting place to visit . Beautiful ceiling as you walk in. Staff very helpful and friendly, did one of the talks again really good. Visited the cafe, decent coffee and the marmite and cheese scone was lush. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

We liked the Victorian street in the downstairs section - the archive video of an actual amputation is not for the squeamish. Upstairs features displays of medical equipment. The man with the leaches was an unexpected late morning treat. Tickets purchased in person are valid for a year whereas online tickets are not.

This was a brilliant museum to visit, cleverly engaging and interactive from the start, really brought Leeds and medical history to life. So much information and loads of exhibits all well presented. Ticket lasts for a year if you want to go back again, so good value for money if local to the area - NHS discount too (May I recommend a feature on the Allied Health Professions if you are looking for something to add...)

Visited a few times when I younger and came back now to bring my own kids. £35 for a family is good value as it valid for a year, if you plan and coming a few times but for a one off cost not so sure. The museum isnt as good as it used to be. The street at the start is still really good and the way you choose a character to learn about who is engaging and fun. The kids went through a few times to change character. After that though it has lost some of it appeal and interactivity. Lots of glass displays and signs, and the surgery room is not as good with just a video. The cafe is small and for some reasons the cup were incredibly hot to the point of not being able to drink out of the them. Small gift shop on the way out. May use the return ticket as we have it but does only kill an hour or so and being on the edge of Leeds we would have to go out of our way to visit.

We visited here on a Tuesday morning and it was quiet and easy to get around. The highlight was the old streets showing what Leeds was like pre the sanitation improvements and the talk by Luke about the myths around left handinesses. He was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic - an asset to the museum. I’d recommend the museum for people of all ages and there was lots to do for children as well.
