world museum

We went here with our 5 yr old son,it was brilliant.The cafe on the ground floor was clean,modern & reasonably priced although there is also an area upstairs for people bringing their own food.
It wasnt very busy when we went so we could wander round at our leisure & my son loved looking at all the insects,he especially liked it when i walked underneath the giant spider on the ceiling & pretended to scream.
There is lots to do for all ages of children & the staff were really helpful.
We got the train in as it is literally a 2 min walk from Lime St Station.

Excellent for a fun filled and educational day out. Excellent facilities and great open airy design. Kids can run around and be noisy and no one minds!

Fantastic museum for kids of all ages, loads of activities and plenty to see. Can get busy at weekends / holidays. Tip: when busy the wait for the lifts can be long so ditch your pram/pushchair at the clockroom and take a sling if you have a baby with you.

This is a great museum.Lots of things to see - good Egyptian section and my children loved the aquarium.Lots of shows and planetarium - just make sure you book them on arrival (all free).Definately go if you are near here.

When you've exhausted the kids with the bugs and dinosaurs take a look at the peaceful World Cultures gallery. Great museum.

Fantastic. Especially for kids. All free. Lots of historical stuff (mummies, dinosaurs etc), lots of bugs and unpleasant creatures that kids love. Quite a big place. Coffee shop with great views. Modernised a few years ago. Planetarium. Also next to one of best art galleries outside London. The Walker. Fantastic for Pre-Raphaelites and modern work and art for children. New museum opens on waterfront soon but keeping this one. Also Maritime Museum at Albert Dock.

a must for a great free day out. Interesting selection of artifacts from Egypt, China, Tibet, world culture. A fine exhibit of the jungles of the world. The museum is always evolving and is stimulating for everyone. The planeterium show is a must my sons loved it.You have to get your free tickets from the ground floor for this. The aquarium is beautiful.
