    Great family afternoon, spent a good couple of hours wandering around and can highly recommend. The staff were very friendly and helpful (we lost a coat and they found it). Can highly recommend a visit and the best thing is after one visit you can go back for free for the year 😱

    Spontaneous trip with 2 kids, age 10 and 13 who both really enjoyed their visits! There's so much to see and some fun interactive bits such as period dressing up stations. 4 really well planned out areas in a clear to follow one-way system over 2 floors so don't miss anything. The WW1 area was especially interesting and the kids loved the cobbled streets and period shops and businesses. This would be fantastic for a school visit! There are toilets, a small cafe and a lovely giftshop. Entry was reasonable and we easily spent 2 hours here. Would definitely recommend!

    Well worth a visit if you love learning about the past, how people used to live, and to experience what it was like. The Victorian Street that has been constructed was the highlight for me. All the old shops and services are so interesting to look at and to see how people would have gone about their daily lives. Lots of other things to see, an old prison, a section dedicated to the 60's, a First World War museum, and not forgetting the castle. Loved it! We pre-booked our tickets, so just had to give our name and then went straight in.

    My favourite thing on our visit to York. There's so much to see and learn about. Staff are very informative about the history. No prams allowed in the galleries but the museum do provide baby carriers. During my visit my baby needed feeding and there was a separate 'quiet space' where I was able to nurse him comfortably. There was also a changing mat. Great for little ones if they just need a break from the museum.

    One of the highlights of the trip. Brilliant museum, the Victorian street was incredible, with huge attention to detail. Really welcoming and friendly staff, clean cafe and toilets. So much to see and do at this place, for not a huge amount of spend. Really does take you back in time to a different era.
