This attraction was my husbands choice? He is a Beatles fan while I am just indifferent about them. The cost of the attraction is £13 and comes with an audioguide. Within the attraction, there is an extensive amount of reading. My husband read most of the information plaques. As for me, I basically just listened to the audioguide. We both... More

This trip lets you see all the homes of the four Beatles and a couple of iconic places (Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields) but not much more. The guide was not very inspiring but friendly enough. Still it was a good tour and the weather the best of the year so far.

I really liked this exhibit. Was very surprised to learn that it was affiliated with Elvis Presley Enterprises. Highly recommend a visit even if you're not a huge Beatles fan.

I am a huge Beatles fan, and I know the story already, but of course I had to go see this Beatles museum when I was in Liverpool anyway. I went there on a Saturday, and there was already a line of people waiting at 10am, so it is a good idea to have patience. So how is the museum,... More

Well as museums / attractions go this needs a total revamp and some investment. The addio tour is shocking and the tour itself is pretty lame I think when it opened it was probly pretty good but it's just so dated. This should be the highlight to a visit of Liverpool but unfortunately its not. You have a great story... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Very interesting. Had to wait for a while as the queue was rather big. One item wasnt working while we were there which was a little disappointing but didnt affect our visit too much. Would definately recommend to family and friends for future visits.

This museum is worth a visit if you are a fan of the Beatles, it is interesting and amusing. However it felt a bit incomplete and hardly knocked our socks off. Like we say it's definitely worth a gander but for the price it missed something. Some of the plastic models were scary and unusual and it missed out some... More

The Beatles Story was very good value for the entrance fee as there is a lot to see & it is very imaginatively laid out (for example, a replica Cavern). The staff were friendly and the Starbucks coffee place attached to it has an excellent Beatles vibe! our favourite part was the Yellow Submarine/ Sgt Peppers sections (next to each... More
