What a wonderful museum with an amazing array of artefacts from the local area. We went with our little boy who thoroughly enjoyed it. Particularly the fossils. He has recently got into fossil collecting so this was particularly exciting. We all enjoyed the family quiz as you went round and the spiral staircase with the 16th Century bell is truly remarkable. We will return, thank you.

Wow this museum feels like a tardis. Looks tiny from the outside but there is loads to see. Lots of background information on Mary Anning. Loads of fossils and history. Lots about Lyme itself including the railway. They even manage to fit in some modern art and Lyme in literature. They have toilets and a gift shop. The little education room has stunning views across the bay. Only thing lacking is a tea shop ( think they struggle to fit anymore in) a very important aspect when you visit with a husband who reads every label!

Interesting small museum worth having a look around. Lots of fossils and history of lyme regis. The kids (and parents) had great fun joining in helping a member of staff make a large papier mache dinosaur skull as part of the Easter holidays activities.

Our trip to Lyme Regis was inspired by my 8 year olds school topic on Mary Anning and fossils. The museum was great with lots to see and read about. We was lucky enough the day we visited to have a go at fossil polishing. A big thank you to the friendly staff on the cash desk and to the patient staff and volunteers of the fossil polishing. A lovely little gift shop as well with reasonable prices.

I wasn't sure what to expect as this was my first trip to Lyme Regis but was pleasantly surprised by this little museum and the artifacts it held! There was lots to see and the building itself was just lovely! We got involved with a fun print making workshop and spent some time chatting to the lovely ladies working that afternoon. Would recommend!

Bit confused about the name as it’s just called the Lyme Regis Museum now and also includes local history as well as natural history. There’s a lot to see at this museum in a small space, but everything is well presented and explained. There are numerous drawers beneath the main displays that contain further artefacts and information too. I spent a fascinating hour and a half here.

We booked a Fossil Walk for a busy Saturday. The museum staff went out of their way to be helpful and the tour leaders and volunteers were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had a good sense of humour. Special thanks to Natalia who was endlessly patient with questions from a curious 9 year old. Definitely worth it if you’re interested in finding fossils on the beach

A charming museum that is an exhibit in itself! Unapologetically honest about Mary Anning’s prolific and groundbreaking (please pardon the pun) work with fossils and furthering dinosaur knowledge. There are many exhibits related to this theme, but also displays with regards other aspects of Lyme’s history. If you are a dinosaur enthusiast I would recommend visiting both this and the Etches museum in Kimmeridge as they are so very different they really compliment each other. Other things worth mentioning: the staff are all incredibly welcoming and friendly.

Great museum and brilliant guided walks with Chris, The West Dorset Forager. We booked a rockpooling session at 10:30 which was brilliant, we learned so much along the way and found and held all kids of creatures in the rockpools. The walk was about 3 hours after which we had some lunch at the Mill Bakery (also recommended) then returned to the museum (entry included with rockpool walk) to look around. A well laid out space, with interactive things for the kids. Lots of drawers to open and treasures to find. Loved learning about Mary Anning. A great day out.

A fantastic little museum packed with the most amazing number of fossils and natural crystals and minerals. Some really enormous, some tiny. The information on display was very detailed and informative. We spent a fascinating 90 minutes there and could have spent even longer. The entry price of £6 is very reasonable. This lovely 'old school' museum is an asset to the town and we'll worth a visit.
