there's one in Llangolan I think (waas a few years ago anyway) it's based on the old ones though

We went to the one in Blackpool a year or so ago: it did nothing for me, but then Dr Who bores me witless. The boys (6 and 8 at the time) loved it.

I thought it was quite expensive for what it was. I think we spent less than an hour in there, and some people were going through much quicker than we were.

Hi, went to the one in Blackpool last year - once I'd got a firm committment from them that they weren't any Cybermen walking around!!

The children loved it.

We were 4 children and 3 adults, and I have to say that the price would have been horrendous, so I haggled!

Got a 50% discount, which made it good value - although we did the whole exhibition in under an hour.

So my advice would be to haggle!

Looks like there is more at the Liverpool one but I'm not a fan of Blackpool for a day out any way looks like we will be going to the Liverpool one this week!

We went to the liverpool one, it was at Seaplay at the ferry port.The space exhibition was realy good loads of interactive stuff for the kids and the dr who stuff was mainly just the costumes but the kids ;oved it!
It was very busy , we got there in time for opening and still had to queue for 15 mins when we came out the queue was round the block. Staff were handing out dr who leaflets to the queue though.

We went to the Cardiff one which we really enjoyed and you can explore all the places where they are filmed in the town too by walking around just aside.

We went to Blackpool for half term and were disappointed slightly with the exhibtion.
Because it was opened in the 70s there is a lot of pre Christopher Eccleston stuff so didn't appeal to our DDs.
Most of the exhibits from the new series we had already seen in the temporary Dr Who exhibition in Brighton last year.

We went to the Cardiff one at the weekend, it was really good. Small, but it had everything; a dalek, cyberman, K9, tardis, costumes, drawings, lighting, atmosphere, and a Dr Who shop!! It was small, so didnt take long to go round. But it is in a centre that has bowling, cinema and lots of restaurants, so it was a good day out.
