Top Floor Cafe in Liverpool

For a free activity and something for any age in heart of Liverpool --this is a brilliant place to visit. Women by the dinosaurs was knowledgeable about it all too

Great museum covering varied topics with knowledgeable & helpful staff

Love this place as so do the kids

I wanted to bring my children here to further their education; instead, we came across a display pushing critical race theory, and another about the LGBT lives of marine life. So we left. The museum curators would do well to remember that so many of us have had enough of this rubbish.

Across different floors, there were different things one could learn about different places in the world. It was interesting to go through the exhibits and it was educational. It's free too :)

Great exhibits with a wide range of both natural and human history

Loved this was very nice to see would be nice to see some more interactive areas for smaller kiddos

Brilliant, free entry , beautiful gift shop , nice coffee shop and food , there is a pick nick area where if you brought your own food where you can eat Very educational Good day out for the family

It's a great place to take kids

Very informative on all aspects of world well worth a visit

Exceptional! Free entry, only for the planetarium you pay 2 lire, who wants. Very nice information and pictures, plants and fish, anemones. Insects, colorful butterflies, birds. A floor of Egyptian culture, mummies in sarcophagus, very interesting. I stayed for 5 and a half hours, it is worth visiting in two days, I really recommend it.

Absolutely amazing free experience full of rich history and artifacts

It was lovely day. Went into museum's cafe. Lovely place, staffs were lovely, good service 😊

He highlighted that above all the attention of his employees. The beautiful museum. I recommend it if you have time.

Pretty average. I've seen many museums. This needs a big revamp. There are hundreds of interesting places in this city that I enjoyed more.

There are five floors in total. The museum is very large and has a wide range of exhibits, such as fossils, animals, and space-related. It is very suitable for families or couples to enjoy it during the holidays. Note that it and the art museum are free to visit. It is one of the must-see attractions in Liverpool.

Awesome place hadn't been in years since was a child myself but it's always nice to go back and learn something new

Free entry, with voluntary donation

Good place for adults and children

Great Experience alot to offer and very factual

Great place to visit when you find yourself in Liverpool.

Good bit of history at the Museum.

The special exhibition „Bees“ (2024/25) was lovely made and worth every penny.

Great museum in heart of Liverpool. Definitely worth visiting if in the area.

Not open 26/12 if someone is wondering to go

Lovely and absolutely outstanding art collections

A very beautiful museum, but one that I have seen in other countries, and I got tired of seeing the same things. A very varied museum with a little bit of everything. It includes cultural history, an aquarium and creature house, ancient times and there was a bee exhibit at one point so keep up with the excitement.

This is a free walk in Central and I think you will love it if you are more into history

Everything I want in a museum, super fun and interesting with lots to look at on multiple floors. Very informative with something for all ages.

This place is surprisingly good. The collection of mummies are amazing. Kids love this place!

The Egyptian section and prehistoric area are my favourite areas to explore here! This is a world class museum and adults and children will have plenty to see and keep them interested for several hours.

I had higher hopes from the museum. Most of the exhibitions were broken and outdated.

Come over specifically to see the Benin bronzes and i wasn't disappointed highly recommend this museum as a whole

Very cool place to go if you've got a few spare hours, we went here every time we had an hour or so between events. Really enjoyed the section talking about the work they were doing to repatriate the artefacts and make replicas to display instead.

Amazing for a free attraction, basically a mini aquarium when I visited (in May I think) which was better than some paid aquariums. The Ancient Egyptian section was really fascinating too, highly recommended.

It was great. Very well organised

Great experience first time there for myself and very informative just wish was a bit bigger but all in all great trip out

Visited on a university trip. Got to see places in the museum that I had not seen before. Lovely staff at the herbarium and very informative.

Excellent small museum with exhibits for everyone from dinosaurs to space

Great place to wander for a couple of hours. Something for everyone.

Wonderful exhibits for free, careful closing time is 4pm.

Beautiful museum with lots of interesting different areas 🐛🪐🦕🐠 🇪🇬 Perfect for childrens

The planetarium was a bit disappointing but I really liked the exhibits in the rest of the museum. If you want to go to the planetarium, buy tickets in advance and make sure to be on time. But it's not particularly for adults, it would be enjoyable for children though

Brilliant little place didn't have enough time to see the whole building tho as we spent too much time watching the fishes in the aquarium. Especially the Axolotls. they are so sweet 😍🐠

I especially loved the Egypt part. Except for the planetarium part that you have to pay for, the rest is free, it has a small aquarium and is worth visiting, Liverpool is about music and culture and the museums are very well maintained, you can leave a donation, usually put 5 pounds, but you can leave what you can and consider.

Such a great place for little ones! Since he was a toddler my son loved spending hours in this museum! There's no visit to town without a visit to the museum for us :) highly recommend

Fab place for all ages. The different floors each take a topic, making it easy to navigate and keeps it interesting.

Fantastic free and informative. Good for all ages

A joke that this is a free museum, it's got some very good things. Really loved the one with Egypt. Recommend this highly if you stay in Liverpool!

I love museums in Liverpool but especially this one.Not only because they are free to enter (except for special events), the beautiful architecture of the sandstone building itself is rich in history. The staff are always pleasant and helpful. Sometimes rooms are closed, and speciman draws can't be opened. On these occasions, this can be disappointing, however. on the whole well worth a visit. I would Recomendation: as it is a popular venue for school children to visit during term time, if this bothers you. I recommend visiting later in the afternoon when they have all gone back to school.

Really nice displays and a good shop. So close to the train station too.

Excellent museum. We were very impressed by the displays and amount to see there. The Bees and bugs floor was amazing. The Egyptian and world cultures floor was also epic. Access, parking and facilities were all really good. The biggest disappointment was the dinosaur experience. The area was run down and tatty. And some of the displays were just kids toys in a display case! Otherwise everything else was excellent and well worth a visit.

Very well organized , free entry ,a place full of knowledge must visit .. also they guided me to a place where can I pray 🤲 .. good prayer room .. the show was soooo relaxing I felt sleep it was too good too knowledgeable must my ticket to see but not expensive

The World Museum in Liverpool is an exciting place with something for everyone. It has a fantastic range of exhibits, from ancient Egyptian mummies to a fascinating planetarium. I loved the natural history section with its impressive dinosaur skeletons and the interactive displays that made learning fun. The museum is spacious and well laid out, with something new around every corner. Whether you're into science, history, or space, there's plenty to see and do here. It's a perfect family-friendly spot that’s educational and entertaining all in one!

Great experiences to learn about the past event

I was disappointed with the museum overall. The displays in some cases were not lit at all. In others, the lighting was too dim to make out what you were looking at. Some of the displays had buttons to press to make something happen, and these all didn't work. The items on display were, for the most part, dirty and covered in a visible thick film of dust. The whole place has a run-down feel to it. On the plus side, the food in the cafe was tasty and reasonably priced, and the staff were friendly.

The best museum I’ve been to- and I’ve been to many! Quaint, small, but soo beautiful.

Probably a top 5 museum in the UK. Right next to lime street Station, very close to the waterfront and a very varied museum with a little bit of everything. It includes cultural history, an aquarium and critters house, ancient times, and there was a bee exhibit at one point so they keep up with the excitement. Its also close to buses that your Liverpool and the main areas that were made famous by a certain band from Liverpool. Oh and it's free entry but accepts donations.

Lovely museum. Amazing mummies. Sea anemone are beautiful!

Brilliant place. Also thanks to the guide who showed us the elephant tusk

I payed for the survival of bees exhibit but the free exhibits were also amazing definitely worth a visit there are 5 floors so you will definitely find something your interested in

A little tired but quite educational. There is a lot to see. Worth a visit.

Fantastic place to go, so much to see and the best part it's all Free,,, and a great restaurant as well

Great museum over 5 floors, give yourself plenty of time to explore all the areas.

An incredible place.....free to visit also (suggest making a donation) Set over 5 amazing different themes floors, all superbly presented and so interesting. Thousands of things to see and explore, great explanations of items and friendly staff. Great facilities, with easy access, lifts, toilets, cafe, gift shop etc. Parking nearby (paid) and central to city centre easy walk. What an amazing looking building too. Close to all amenities, hotels, and shops (up to 15-20 minute walk. All the family loved it. Highly recommended.

We always enjoy the world museum. Lots of interesting things to read and things to do for the children. Especially the touch and feel section in the fossil room.

Absolutely brilliant, but give yourself a few hours to have a really good look.

Interesting and insightful museum A great free day out Lovely airy cafe. Drink tea and slice lemon cake £5 prices November 2024.

Free to visit although donations are welcomed.Great for kids. Lots of interesting items and very friendly colleagues. Lovely cafe offering hot food, beverages & cakes. Also very clean washrooms. Gift shop on site

Could have spent all day here. So much interesting exhibits on five floors from dinosaurs to Space. The aquarium is great. Suitable for all ages and mobilities. The majority of the museum is free to get in but there were a couple of area with special exhibits and shows that incur an entrance fee but truly worth it.

A nice, basic museum to kill some time. You have to buy a ticket for any of the shows, but the museum itself is free. If you use the lifts, good luck. You might be waiting a while

ACTION NEEDED: Please monitor lifts. My partner had to wait 30 minutes to enter a lift to leave the building. As a wheelchair user, this was his only way out of the building. I honestly thought we would be there for hours until I asked one of the reception staff for help. Staff had a very blasé attitude, saying "oh it always happens around this time of day, people get lazy." I urge you to reconsider how you'll respond to someone in this situation in future. Exhibits were very informative but was heavily tainted by this experience.

Well organized, but after visiting the one in Edinburgh, this would not reach its level

A good experience. A lot to see and learn. World cultures, space, dinosaurs and a small aquarium.

Something interesting for everyone, lots of interesting exhibits, free entry

Nice to walk through with the children. Interesting objects and neatly displayed.

Nice museum, lovely that it's acessable to all being free.

Visited on the Sunday at opening and the visit was decent and took us two hours to get through. The visit was free apart from the paid bee section which was interesting and you can tell they put alot of thought into it. Each floor is dedicated to a different subject and the only thing I found was the signage wasn't that clear so it's easy to miss things or not know which parts are free, which most of it is.

Went with my 6yr old grandson to see the little star in the planetarium which he enjoyed. Then looked around rest of museum . Very interesting

Lovely and friendly staff. Very helpful and provided us a place to observe our prayers. Amazing museum, would recommend a visit!

A great museum for any age but the variety of exhibits is especially good for keeping the attention of kids. The museum is free and tickets are not required but the planetarium shows cost a few pounds each and I would recommend booking a show you want to see in advance as they have shows for different age groups.

It was a fantastic experience, and it was free of charge.

Lovely museum with lots to see. Great cafe and facilities. Very clean and well maintained throughout.

It's the best museum ever in Liverpool

Nice place, really interesting and free to visit, can donate on entrance or upgrade for a tour.

Needs a bit of tlc,looking abit rough in parts and some areas were abit sparse

Love this place! I've been coming since I was a teenager. It's a nostalgic place for me and my family. It's wonderful.

So much to see and entrance is free. The exhibits are well labeled and the information very useful

Free admission But there are not many exhibits

A great place to visit on your own or with a child, I wouldn't think that a very young child would appreciate it. Lots to see, so give yourself plenty of time. And even then, you see everything. Well worth a visit.

Was OK but didn't have as much stuff in it as I thought

Great mix of stuff. Kiddo loved the aquarium

It’s really great to visit, I really liked it.

Especially interesting, as far as I'm concerned, is the section dedicated to ancient Egypt.

Haven't been for years and really enjoyed it.

We love the World museum, as does our 4 year old. She loves the aquarium and grabbing a Babycinno in the cafe too. A great place for rainy day fun and learning.

Not want I thought, it was much better than I expected 100 percent more impressive

Very interesting, each floor tells a story of the world and of countries and cultures of each people.

Spent ages here yesterday! Stunning place 😁
