1. Museum Layout and Presentation

Pros:

  • "The museum is very well laid out, with patrons moving from one level to the next in a rather intriguing manner."
  • "Really interesting museum, we extensively read every panel to understand Mary Shelley's back story which has so much drama."
  • "The different levels were varied and unique."
  • "We had a great time at the House of Frankenstein! The museum was beautifully decorated and so informative."

Cons:

  • "Thought there would be more to it, took us less than an hour to get all the way round."
  • "We were there just under an hour, so if you're looking to waste time, maybe do the escape room as well!"
  • "Somewhere I have wanted to visit for quite sometime but I was highly disappointed if I'm honest."
  • "It's OK, I suppose. While they made the most of it, it was a bit... thin."

2. Basement Experience

Pros:

  • "I also had the courage to visit the underground which was fun but a bit creepy with few jump scares."
  • "WARNING ⚠️ basement read door first before entering, I won't spoil it."
  • "We really enjoyed our trip to the museum and appreciated all of the information about Mary Shelley’s life. The museum decor is good fun and the animatronic monster v impressive."
  • "Incredible experience, more like a museum than a "horror" attraction. Really informative and the effort that went into making the Creature is incredible!"

Cons:

  • "They have a little creepy basement scare room that provided a few minutes of fun at the end but I would recommend they provide hearing protection."
  • "The basement was terrifying (would recommend for horror fanatics, not for us)."
  • "My favourite part would have to be the showing of the first ever Frankenstein movie, which you get to see at the end of your visit!!"
  • "Not worth the money, a few rooms with posters, a short silent film and a "spooky "basement."

3. Educational Content

Pros:

  • "I was so excited to visit during the Halloween season and I wasn’t disappointed. I learned a lot about Mary Shelley’s and Frankenstein."
  • "The museum is very well made with decorations and even creepy music in the background."
  • "It was a very informative and interesting little attraction, there's actually nothing in there that really belonged to Mary Shelley."
  • "We really enjoyed our trip to the museum and appreciated all of the information about Mary Shelley’s life."

Cons:

  • "Also, left feeling a bit mixed after the madness of the basement!"
  • "The escape room was fantastic. Atmospheric, perfectly themed and tough enough without being too so."
  • "The staff were very friendly and let us leave our bags upstairs to save us dragging them around with us."
  • "I thought this was place was great, bigger than expected, looking at outside, some great memorabilia in display."
