Cons:

  • "Waste of money. A lot of replicas labelled as authentic props. Rude staff."
  • "Very poor. Dont waste your time. You cant even take a few photos, not that theres much to see. Too expensive, few props, dont travel far its a huge dissapointment. Little to see, little to do. Never again, avoid."

Photography and Interaction

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Ticket prices aren't the cheapest but considering the value of goods on show - as a treat it's worth it."
  • "The tickets are £13 for adults and £8 for children if purchased online, which I think is pretty reasonable considering they are getting off the ground."
  • "We went as a birthday present for my partner. As we love Sci-Fi and Movies this was a great experience for us."

Cons:

  • "The only negative thing was the price. £36 and it probably took 30 mins max."

  • "The museum was nice full of film stuff not worth the price we paid tho been to better."
  • "Very pricey for what’s there. Yes some cool bits but not a great deal."
  • "Waste of money. The exhibition is really small and very underwhelming."
