A really good museum with interesting information about Lyme Regis down the years. Key exhibits are some of the amazing fossil finds from nearby and links to Mary Anning the world renowned fossil finder. Wonderful ichthyosaurs and ammonites dominate the first floor galleries.

We did the fossil walk this morning and it was amazing. Chris and Richard were fantastic, so knowledgable, engaging and very helpful the whole time. You also get to visit the museum as part of the price and there are some great things in there. I cannot recommend it enough!

The ground floor of the museum is dedicated to the non-fossil history of Lyme Regis. Old firefighting equipment, coins found dating from the 1300s, Monmouth Rebellion artifacts, etc. The top floor is full of fossils. Ammonites. Ichthyosaurs. Plesiosaurs. Everything you could imagine, from finds hundreds of years ago to recent discoveries. Chris is so fantastic and explains things so clearly, and Paul was wonderful to talk to about fossils. Paula was so patient with us as we kept finding more things to buy and fossil walks to schedule! I spent a good amount of time here and would go back soon!

A bit of an unexpected gem is how I would describe the museum. There is a real mix of local and social history as well as the obvious focus on the amazing fossils that have been discovered in the area and are displayed here. The fossil walk was also very interesting as well as showing you what you should be looking out for. Paul was Betty knowledgeable and passed on his expertise very well.

We booked a fossil walk that included entry to the museum making it excellent value. The museum was packed with local history and especially fossils. Our guide for the walk, Chris Andrew was witty and very knowledgeable. A wonderful way to spend a few hours. I would definitely recommend the museum and walk to others

We had a couple of hours free in Lyme Regis so thought we would go to the museum. The museum is really interesting especially about Mary Anning. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The option on £2 extra for a annual pass is really good. This is a great place to learn something new.

Spent a fascinating, fun and informative few hours with the museum fossil hunt guides today. Despite the drizzle we all had a great time. Funny, knowledgable and enthusiastic professional guides who imparted their lifelong passion to a diverse age group in an encouraging and fun way. Highly recommend but do book

The Museum was really interesting especially about Mary Anning. Friendly staff on hand to answer questions. Children were given a fact sheet to answer questions which added to the fun, and plenty of drawer to open and look at other exhibits and other activities. Nice little shop with various reasonable gifts for the children.

This is a very well presented museum about the local history of Lyme Regis. The fossil collection is well displayed and impressive. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. It is sore as over 3 floors and took about an hour to go round.

Great little museum, lots of fossils to look at! It’s really small so we managed to do the entire thing in half an hour, cute gift shop at the end to buy cuddly toys and books. Lots of history about Lyme Regis too.
