The World Museum Liverpool is an impressive and surprisingly fun museum, especially because of how diverse and interactive it is. You can easily spend hours there without getting bored, moving from exhibitions about science and space to history, technology and natural history. The sections with machines and trains are fascinating, and the animal galleries, including the gorillas, make the experien...

My family and I visited the World Museum for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Intuitive layout of different areas of interest; the aquarium was wonderful and sympathetically created, and the cafe was spacious and inexpensive.

A lovely experience and completely free (unless you want tickets for a talk). We only visited the Egyptian tier but even so that had plenty to offer with the mummy room and great memories for my grandmother who visited Egypt herself. There is a gift shop and nice cafe area. Also grateful for the seating areas because we sure did underestimate the stairs!

Went to the World Museum yesterday with my daughter, and 2 grandchildren. Its free to get in, but you can pay for certain events if you want too. Lots to see without having to pay though. Easy to get around even with a pram, as there are lifts to every floor. Also toilet facilities on each. We had a lovely few hours there, and would definitely recommend
