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."
