As a kid I was a fan and I enjoyed reminiscing those good ol’ days. Some of the history and stories I knew and some where new for me. The multi media of sounds and sights was complimented nicely with the audio tape. Overall, very well done exhibit. I also liked very much the Beatles Hidden Gallery at Pier Head,... More

Do yourself a favour and spend the entrance fee on one of The Beatles CD's instead. The headphones given out at the start of the tour didn't work properly.The museum was packed with school kids on a day out so I couldn't get close to any of the attractions and apart from a couple of old guitars theres nothing much...

A fascinating walk through of the Beatles history, many artefacts on show - original instruments, documents, outfits - also many hidden surprises; what I assumed was just a facsimile of the Cavern club entrance opened up into a full replica of the club itself, with 3 guitars and Ringo's famous Ludwig drum kit on the stage. There are also recording... More

I was expecting lots of artifacts, but most of this attraction was made up of pictures you could have found on the internet. If you are a fan, and/or have ever read a book about the Beatles, then this exhibit will not be anything new for you. They did have a mohair suit worn by John Lennon that was nice... More

I visited this attraction 11 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm so glad that I chose to re-visit. It has vastly changed for the better. You are now given an audio guide which is easy to use, with numbers next to the various exhibits. You are not rushed to move around the exhibition and all ages are enthralled by... More

Well worth a visit if you're in Liverpool. A great way to find out more about The Beatles. A very well designed exhibition and the audio was excellent. You could spend many hours just looking at the displays and listening to the music as you walk around.

...to the Beatles Museum. Well worth a visit but not cheap. Using the audio guide you walk through the chronology of the Beatles' history; from the Quarrymen to Hamburg to the Cavern to their first recording at Abbey Road, conquering of America, Sergeant. Pepper and Yellow Submarine to the Apple Days. The tour uses life-size mannequins, props, relics, suits worn... More

This attraction was my husbands choice? He is a Beatles fan while I am just indifferent about them. The cost of the attraction is £13 and comes with an audioguide. Within the attraction, there is an extensive amount of reading. My husband read most of the information plaques. As for me, I basically just listened to the audioguide. We both... More

I really liked this exhibit. Was very surprised to learn that it was affiliated with Elvis Presley Enterprises. Highly recommend a visit even if you're not a huge Beatles fan.
