A lovely museum, filled with interesting facts and a beautiful Planetarium!!!! The museum is free, on many levels and is very children friendly. The gift shop is very reasonably price, I was surprised by the low prices.

I went to the world museum with a couple of friends on a whim. Even though we are all in our early 20's we had a brilliant day. The interactive sections are great and the people working there couldn't be more helpful. We were especially impressed with David and Adam who took the time not only to point us in... More

Very well managed place, the museum is on three floors and each floor has its specificity. Also you can do the whole museum in only a couple of hours because it's not really big but really interesting ! I especially like the aquarium.

A few years ago we visited this 5 storey Museum in central Liverpool and adults and children all enjoyed it. Today 2 of my grandchildren asked to visit the free Museum again. It remains very good. An Aquarium with beautiful and interesting fish, a Planetarium with shows, a Bugs section with many pull out drawers full of stuffed samples, a... More

We went here for an afternoon as a group of adults and one nipper. There was so much cool stuff to see that was suitable for the grown ups and enough exciting stuff for the youngster. We all had a great time and learnt some things too. Even if you're just killing time, it's a great place to pop into,... More

We went there on Bank Holiday Monday and found it quite busy but because of the size of the museum it was not to busy to see things with ease. There are lots of areas which are hands on and you can open drawers to see things and actually touch things. There are areas which are very child friendly. Well... More

Some interesting exhibits, very well laid out and good use of a beautiful old building - very light and airy. Many of the exhibits have interactive and learning features, making it an ideal choice for those with younger children. Entrance is free of charge.
