World Museum Reviews Summary

Exhibit Accessibility

Pros:

• "I loved the way the museum was laid out inside and it had access for everyone to all floors with lifts."
• "Lift access to all floors and top floor come and see the star in the night sky."
• "The museum also has a picnic area. Shows are presented at the top floor with small entrance fee."
• "There's accessible toilets and elevators as well as private lockers should you need them."

Cons:

• "My only issue is the lifts when I've had the pram, they're a little out of control I think, they don't go in any order so can spend a while in them trying to get to whichever floor wanted."
• "Definitely requires patience when using the lift because there's only two but considering the place is free is definitely worth visiting."
• "2 lifts are not sufficient! The displays are lovely. We really enjoyed the Egypt exhibition particularly."
• "We had to wait for ever whilst the lift when up and down and up and down above us."

Exhibition Variety and Content

Pros:

• "A wonderful, beautiful and fascinating place to visit."
• "There's a huge range of exhibitions here, covering topics from ancient Egypt to outer space."
• "Ancient Egypt and mummies, an aquarium, and one level was having a temporary exhibition about ancient Greek mythology."
• "The Egyptian part was probably the best. Some of the lights didn't work and people used the lift for anything."

Cons:

• "A very big building but many of the exhibits were a bit underwhelming."
• "All of it was quite amazing, except for the space area which felt like a lot more could have been added."
• "The only areas that let the place down are the dinosaur and space exhibitions as they haven't changed much at all in 20 years."
• "I was really looking forward to this museum but going on a Saturday probably wasn't a great idea."

Visitor Experience and Staff

Pros:

• "The staff were very informative and very pleasant and patient considering how busy it was."
• "Staff were helpful and friendly and has a lot of interesting things to look at and is a great place for kids!"
• "Absolutely brilliant place! For all age kids, teenagers and adults too. We really enjoy it! The place is maintained very well, the staff is top class- positive & helpful."
• "The staff are really warm and welcoming and a fantastic source of information. We had a wonderful time and would happily return to see what we missed."

Cons:

• "I enjoyed this place more than I thought I would. Yes it’s far too kid-friendly for me."
• "Visited for the Doctor Who exhibit. Although the museum is free to enter, exhibits do cost extra."
• "Really cool museum with a few different areas to explore. The octopus in the aquarium was super friendly and followed my hand against the glass."
• "Great place but disabled access toilet hidden away at the back of the men's toilets and the lifts are always busy."
