This is one of the newest museums in the U.K. But it mixes the past right onto the present in fantastic surroundings, the views out of the gallery windows as you go around of the three graces, the mersey and the Albert dock are amazing. More

A free attraction which kept the kids amused for hours - and they learned lots too. Very hands on, but still intelligent. The aquarium and planetarium are worth a visit just on their own, and that's scratching the surface. More
