Top Floor Cafe in Liverpool

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

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!

Fantastic free and informative. Good for all ages

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

Great experiences to learn about the past event

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!

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.

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.

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

Lovely museum. Amazing mummies. Sea anemone are beautiful!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Free admission But there are not many exhibits

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.

BR Incredible place with several themed floors for free, you can spend 4 hours without even realizing it with so many attractions

Spent ages here yesterday! Stunning place 😁

Amazing experience. Spit into 5 floors with each floor, giving you a different experience from the aquarium, Bee hive, world cultures, astronomy, and forest. There's something to catch your eyes. There were fake but realistic animals in the forest, but that wouldn't ruin it all. Suitable for kids, too. There is a cafe on the first floor if you fancy a bite. Overall, it was a good experience and worth checking out if you're in Liverpool, and it's totally free, as at the time of writing. Go explorers!

Fantastic experience..well laid out and informative

A really interesting place. Great exhibitions and a good spot to go with students.

It was an utterly enjoyable and informative experience. The way it was presented was given the impression of a 3d experience. Like being in a bee hive or the demonstration via video of the development of a bee from the egg to the fully grown bee. Altogether just stunning.

I have loved going to this museum for over 20 years I go at least twice a year.

A nice afternoon out with the kids. Only 3 stars given as most of the floors are not fully open. Some exhibits are being updated. The ones that were open were in need of updating.... Bug exhibition now very small, no leaf cutter ants currently. Dinosaur exhibit is tired and lacks interactive content. On the plus side kids loved the aquarium, space and ancient Egypt exhibits. Food in the cafe by the entrance was lovely. Long wait for lifts at busy times but personally I'd rather this than use the stairs after a member of the public (grown woman) was repeatedly trying to kick my son as he was going down the stairs slowly (he's a toddler).

My 3yr old Grandson asks to visit repeatedly. It's really helpful that there are lockers available to store bags & and buggies, especially in inclement weather. And the children's meal deal with 5 items in the café is great.

Good museum, like the aquarium.

It’s free to visit the museum only😁If you want to watch the show, you’ll have to pay💷But it’s also very cheap👍🏻The food at the café is a little expensive💸A portion of lasagna is 9 pounds🤯(but it’s delicious😋) The content in the museum is very cool😎

So I took a trip here to visit the Ancient Egyptian exhibit on the 3rd floor and the display was so good and learnt so much about ancient Egypt and what really set the mood was the Egyptian music on the floor and it felt like it really sent me back in time to Ancient Egypt . I can't wait to come back here

I've been this place countless times over the year, and I've enjoyed it as a child, and my children love it now. it's free and has loads to see and do. would highly recommend

Loved the museum! Especially the mummy room, i’ve never seen exhibitions like that before

Great museum, lovely way to spend a couple of hours in Liverpool. No admission fee unless you'd like to see the exhibition that isn't permanent. Each floor has a variety of historical topics that would interest everyone. Their aquarium is also great. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience and museum. Well worth a visit.

An exposition that serves to give a truly superficial smattering, the help of a guide capable of creating a connection/history/continuity is really needed. Suitable for children more than adults.

Fantastic museum. Could only spend a few hours in there, so going to have to go back. Great place to visit, especially with kids

What an awesome day, loads to see in fact, I struggled at the end, there is just so much on the five floors, we payed extra to see the Doctor Who feature which was just brilliant, you can go in the main building for free although it does rely on donations and gift shop sales, so dig deep, and soak in all there is to see, from dinosaur skeletons, Egyptian artifacts, an aquarium and planetarium, I could go on but I've rambled enough, a GREAT DAY OUT 🙏🤟🙏

Loved this museum there plenty to see for any age if you need to see any shows that are on diffrent levels got to book at the customer service desk Cafe caters for those who are gf also wide range of food and drink. The gift shop a little pricey

So informative and suitable for all ages. Never too young old, to learn.

It’s a beautiful museum. Loved the third floor.

This is an amazing place to visit . Superb architecture. The museum sits next to The Central library and Walker art Gallery. Each place offer free admission . Accessible .

This beautiful place looks beautiful and nice to set and view people pass all time take pictures and use library this library is very big and many people visiting it just in town many people go there and ready or use set set down and chat with friends after school

Great place to visit, could easily spend a full day there. Some interactive exhibits and also a planetarium which you can pay for tickets for on the day.

Quite busy the shop is so expensive

Really interesting place we spent 3 hours here.Another great visit today. Still lots to see.

Quite a variety of exhibits to see, some being covered in more detail than others. Some interesting fossils of trails, footprints and burrows, supported but some good, actual fossils. Cafe was rather disappointing, cake did not seem fresh and coffee was mediocre.

Not from Liverpool found this place very nice to walk round

Great place to visit. Each floor is a different theme. Free to get in. Cafe is good. Worth a visit.

Visit here regularly withy young grandchildren, love it

So far the biggest Musium I have ever visited. Varieties of history. Indeed is a world Musium.

Manic but staff coped admirably. Quality food in the cafe

Amazing trip. I think the Aquarium was the best! The fish there looked amazing 👏! My favorite animal there was the Axolotl. It looked super cute! Amazing trip!

It was an amazing experience seeing the different fish and bugs defo a big go to

Me and the kids enjoyed it. The free parts are great but very small so for us it wouldn’t fill a full day. We paid for the extra exhibition and wanted to go into the planetarium but didn’t book ahead in Time to get in a timing of show we wanted. Good day out if you want cheap and don’t buy into any extras. But the extras are what keep the museum going so we were glad to pay for them but make sure to budget for it and next time I’d book ahead to get the times you want

Good up close artifacts lots to look at and very educational for activities days out found it very informative and interesting

Excellent day out with everything under one roof. The planetarium was outstanding. All in all a great day out. 👍☺️❤️

Not a patch on how it used to be

Parking atrangements are simply atroscious... Rude reception staff when I was trying to provide feedback, museum itself was fine...

A great free entry museum (donation requested). Was great to see it was really busy with lots of families and children. Has an aquarium floor which is great for children. We went to the bees exhibition which was ok.

Took my grandchildren for a educational holiday to Liverpool and its museums and had a really fantastic experience, the exhibits were well presented and attached signs were simple English so my youngest could read and understand and absorb. All varied in age from four to fourteen and they enjoyed it so much. They are seasoned museum goers and loved it. The planetarium was great and worth every penny and however the museum lacked seating space for kids and the elderly. A great experience and parking is limited, expensive and overpriced. Cafe is on the dear side, despite a recession si I recommend bring food and drink for the kids as a portion of chips is 3.50. Pop drinks are around 1.50 so beware the cafe.

ventilation is very poor inside. can't believe it is a world museum

Far too hot to enjoy the exhibitions, and the weather isn't really too warm outside. Came with my elderly mother and we had to give up on the 3rd floor!

Nice not too busy, bee exhibit was good bit pricy but kids are free

Extremely poor for such an international city. The dinosaur exhibit needs serious investment, it is dark, tired and specimens are incorrectly labelled The Egyptian section is like a children's visitor centre rather than a museum. All information is extremely dumbed down and basic. No order to the artifacts Aquarium a total embarrassment
