Experience and Atmosphere
Pros:
"Enjoyed our experience here, luckily it wasn't very busy when we went."
"The environment was just amazing. There are 3 levels, with rooms leading into other small rooms."
"The building is also haunted (no surprise there), and you'll often find spooky footage of unexplained goings-on shared across the museum's socials media."
"Absolutely loved my visit here! Small museum under a pub and curiosity shop, but it's filled to the brim with artifacts and exhibits!"
"If you love ghosts, the paranormal, Halloween, horror stories and movies ... This place is definitely for you."
Cons:
"It's a complete rip-off - mostly a series of tiny rooms full of corny props from a Halloween sale and some used dolls on strings."
"This is a lovely atmospheric museum and a real hidden gem in Nottingham, but there wasn't a huge amount of space to move around."
"We had a great afternoon taken around the haunted museum by the lovely lady with blonde hair but everything has a story and this building is amazing in itself."
"Not impressed with this place at all a lot of the history seems made up to me."
"Being gullible is a bonus 😅.. we couldn't help but feel that we were just being shown around a dilapidated building that they couldn't afford to fix up, full of car boot goodies."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"The service provided was brilliant, and very informative."
"The staff were brilliant and went out of their way to ensure we were OK and getting the most from our visit."
"The staff Andy, Cat, and Michaela were very welcoming and reassuring, with endless knowledge of the museum and the displays inside."
"Really friendly and knowledgeable tour guides. If you’re a fan of haunted houses, ghost stories, and all that spookiness then definitely check it out."
"The staff are great to chat to about the happenings in the store."
Cons:
"All the 'artifacts' have badly written stories about them, rife with spelling and grammar errors, they could have been written by a child."
"Needs to be a bit more staff interaction rather than just letting people look around and then go."
"I am however going to knock a star off because there wasn't a huge amount of space to move around meaning a lot of time was spent waiting to read the next exhibit."
"Not impressed with this place at all a lot of the history seems made up to me and when I asked tour guides for more information on items it could not be provided."
Value for Money
Pros:
"For £8, it is great value for money. In fact, I would have quite happily paid a bit more."
"With an £8 per person entrance fee, it was good value for money as there was lots to see and lots of information to read about the haunted items."
"Had a great time here last weekend, £8 per person which I thought was very reasonable given the amount of stuff there was to see!"
"An incredibly reasonable price, really entertaining and leave you wanting to visit again."
"A memorable experience, I went feeling sceptical about there actually being haunted items, but I did have 3 experiences here that made me question my scepticism."
Cons:
"It's a complete rip-off - The £8 entry price is ridiculous for what's in there."
"A bit pricey for the experience but the staff were very nice."
"Good stuff and collection inside, not very spooky as such, overpriced for saying it is done in around 20 mins."
"The quality of the museum and the general credibility of objects was a let down. Maybe fun for some, I surely wouldn't recommend for the £7 entry fee."
"Not impressed with this place at all a lot of the history seems made up to me and when I asked tour guides for more information on items it could not be provided also a bit pricey for what you receive."
Accessibility and Facilities
Pros:
"Home to thousands of haunted artefacts and oddities, The Haunted Museum in Nottingham is a paranormal paradise."
"Absolutely loved it! Will be going again in the near future. Owner I met is lovely."
"If you have limited mobility or use a wheelchair this isn't the place for you. The museum is located across a number of floors in an old building and caves."
"Really friendly and helpful staff too. I have a double pram and the side gate was opened for me so I didn't have to use the stairs which was really nice."
"Wonderful location full of mysterious little rooms and corridors that can be visited on the tour, and really friendly staff/guides that know about the history of the building, the objects within the museum and the supernatural."
Cons:
"If you have limited mobility or use a wheelchair this isn't the place for you. The museum is located across a number of floors in an old building and caves."
"The sign says free entry but that's only into the foyer - you can enjoy a cuppa and watch the webcams but if you want to go around the museum you have to pay for a tour."
"Not a lot to say about this place really.. I only went in for a cup of tea which was prices cheaply.. we couldn't do the tour( at £7 each )because we didn't have any cash."
"It's just a shame that it's not disability-friendly, I had to go without my wheelchair which was a huge struggle and I will be in lots of pain for the next week, but it I have to admit it was worth it !! But there must be many paranormal fans who can't forgo their wheelchairs who are sadly missing out."
"The stairs on the tour might be an issue for those with mobility limitations."
