Skip-the-line In The National Museum Of Popular Music Ticket

It was fantastic, fun and entertaining. Definitely a great place to go with children. 10/10

I love music, especially British rock music like Oasis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Led Zeppelin. Fascinating journey through all the decades laid out clearly and even played some guitars before the end of the tour.

We went as a couple in mid 50’s and 2 x 15 year olds. The youngsters weren’t interested in the area dedicated to music before 1980’s but had great fun in the interactive areas which included playing guitars and drums etc. The immersive shows on main screen are also really good. it’s not a massive place so I will be recommending to my mum who has mobility issues. We spent about 2 hours there. You could do it quicker but could also stay much longer if you read all the slides for each decade. If we were on our own, probably would have stayed longer. We got a discounted rate which made it better value for money. Tickets are also valid for 1 year so you could go again if you had limited time and lived nearer.

So much fun! Greatly recommended for a day out in Liverpool especially if you love all popular music and fancy trying out as a drummer, guitarist, singer or dancer - my kids tried them all!

A lot of memories here .. if into British music of whatever decade ; it’s all here. The guides were really passionate and helpful. So much here to see and read. Loved it.

Brilliant experience, loved the exhibits, interactive sections and the staff really knew their stuff. Would definitely recommend to any fan of British music.

Our son and daughter in law flew over from Houston Texas to visit Liverpool and BMM was on their "To do list" and we thought it was superb. Music from the late 50s and 60s was during my teenage years and to say we enjoyed the music scene would be an understatement. This museum gave it all progressing through the 50s to 80s and on. So much to see and absorb of the good days of our music scene. Add to this the musical workshops with equipment and instruments added that extra bit of magic. The 1st two hours went in a flash observing instruments used by the stars of yesterday and picturing memories of them playing these just added to the experience. Also we should not forget the staff on duty who were there to assist with information. A definite return next time in Liverpool for sure.

Located opposite the Beatles statues and Ferry Terminal, the British Music Experience offers visitors a glimpse at the progression of music through the ages. Entrance costs around £20 for an adult with tickets lasting for a year. For those who have purchased Hop on Hop Off tickets, showing them gets you a 20% discount and a free tea. The Experience is situated in one room with a central stage showing holographic music being played by the artist every 30 minutes (for our time at the Experience it was boy George). The walls are lined with various pieces of music memorabilia from The Beatles, Cilla, Queen’s drum kit, the Spice Girls costumes and Sam Ryder’s Eurovision costume to name a few. The Experience itself takes you through the history of music with various pieces of the memorabilia placed throughout. It doesn’t contain all acts but showcases those provided well. Near the end of the Experience are opportunities to play on various instruments or sing in a recording booth. There is also opportunities to buy food and drink as well as merchandise. For an interesting look at the history of music visit the British Music Experience!

Really bright, visual and sometimes enlightening journey of the British music scene post WW2 to blur/oasis ( slightly lacking more modern) but for those of a certain age there is a lot of items where you go “my grandparents/parents…” or more scarily “ I had that!”” A thoroughly brilliant hour and half …too many headphones to listen too!! Ticket valid for a year too so returning trips possible too . Staff very kind and pleasant and decent coffee shop too. Kids entertainment provide by sound stage.

The museum itself was good and the Boy Grorge hologram was amazing but our experience was spoilt half way through by a large group of students who were running around and shouting to each other. The interactive room was full but we expected this if it was busy.

Interesting tour through the ages of British pop music. Has some decent memorabilia. Would have liked a bit more Bowie, Sabbath and Stranglers stuff, but that's just me!!

Myself and 11 year old daughter love coming here. Tickets are valid for a year making it great value. We spend hours in here looking at all the exhibits and having fun dancing and singing (very badly)! Then we spend ages playing the guitar and drums thinking we are great! Staff are always very friendly, great merch in the shop and the cafe is good too. We will always visit here when we are in Liverpool.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ British Music Experience, Liverpool is absolutely brilliant! I went with my granddaughter, daughter and my partner and we had such a laugh together. From playing the drums to dancing our hearts out in the interactive booths, it’s impossible not to get involved. What makes it even better is that your ticket lasts all year, so you can come back for more musical fun. The tea room quiz was a lovely surprise too—great fun and a nice way to relax after all the action. A fantastic experience for all ages and something I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Liverpool. We loved every minute!

Brilliant place to visit if you love music. There is the history of music n the different genres from the 50s right up till now. You can interact, listen and learn with many of the displays. And there is also an instrument area near the end to see if you have a hidden talent on the guitar, drums etc. Only thing I’d say is. The entry is a bit expensive. But it is a great experience

An outstanding museum packed with fascinating information and incredible memorabilia, an absolute must-visit for any music lover. I especially want to give a huge shout-out to Joe, who is a real gem to the museum. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and even took the time to give my son some guitar tips as he’s just beginning his musical journey. Joe is an exceptionally talented guitarist, and we really appreciated his warmth and expertise. We’ll definitely be back to continue our music learning using the free return visit included with our tickets. Well done, Joe — fantastic customer experience! 👏

Wonderful musical experience. We bought our earbuds and downloaded the app to follow the guide whilst we walked around - really made it. The memorabilia was interesting and musical events on the stage were great. Loved the Live Aid stuff - lots of memories. Being able to try the instruments and sing in a booth was hilarious. Great way to spend couple of hours.

We spent 2 hours here and could have spent longer. As well as some excellent exhibits of stagewear, there’s plenty of interactive exhibits detailing the major music and world events of every year since the fifties. A particular highlight was the opportunity to play the guitar (drums and keyboards also available) and sing in a recording booth. A better experience if you are a big music fan but enough to entertain everyone

The exhibition and interactive element is brilliant - love the way it's split by era - and like a jukebox experience and the try yourself part was awesome. The only glaring question - why Black Sabbath aren't featured??!!! They invented a whole new genre - metal/ alternative is given such a small part compared to Britpop/ Indie yet has had a similar impact on music culture- please add more!🙏 maybe Ozzy/ Sabbath could have a visiting exhibit like Live Aid has

If one thing different to do that is do this if you get a Coty Explorer Liverpool you can get this. All I’ll say is they open the doors and you go into an unbelievable array of music memorabilia of decades. If you love music you’re love this.

Lots of information but well overpriced. Lots of better museums to visit in Liverpool such as the museum of Liverpool which is free

A well thought out museum Lots of memories Located on the Mersey Easy to get around Staff friendly Lots of visual and audio displays

Must see for anyone who has an interest in British music thru the decades. Lots of displays, with artefacts and you also had the option to play instruments. They also had half hourly shows on the big screen of artists.

Interesting and some fun exhibits but very overpriced. We paid £56 for 3 of us - £1 only concession for a student. We were round if after about 90mins. The section involving playing instruments and dancing was aimed more for children and all the stations were occupied for a long time by the same groups making it hard for anyone else to get a turn. Compared to other major tourist attractions in cities like Paris, Barcelona, Rome the price of UK attractions never ceases to amaze me. For an average family to visit the cost is not realistic. We should have gone to the Museum of Liverpool which is free and spend an hour or two there. Just felt a bit ripped off with this place which is a shame as the idea and concept was great.

My wife and I visited the British Music Experience recently on short trip to Liverpool. We love music and this was a good one. Broken down into different eras and well put together. Special exhibition on Live Aid which was fun to see. Good price for your money and book on-line to get little discount. Very friendly staff plus there are breakout areas to sing, dance and play instruments. Good times and highly recommend.

Displays, pictures, videos, wardrobes — and interactive opportunities to dance to a decade, record a song and play an instrument ! From the ‘40s to today. Fab music experience! Don’t miss it. There are also little lockers which I saw on a he way out— had to carry my coat around.

Lives the interactive nature of the museum, especially the dance room. Cafe had limited selected but reasonable prices. Enjoyed the live aid performances

Fantastic experience learning about the different eras of music and reliving some of my favourite classic songs, loving the nostalgia. Some fun interactive things to do as well (god help anyone who may have heard my singing in the booth lol?

Refused entry as a few minutes over last admission. Even told staff it was due to disability of family members makes daily outdoor trips a challenge to attend places. Staff member couldn’t care less Not a disability positive experience at all

At £20 per adult I was a bit disappointed by the British Music Experience. Yes, this is a comprehensive collection of artefacts, costumes, instruments and memorabilia, displayed in chronological sections from 1945 to the present day. What's missing though, is actual music to listen to and experience, relating to the specific music style or era. I was aware of one or two tracks playing on speaker as I moved through the exhibition, but what this place needs is plenty of headphones in each section so you can hear examples of each style referred to e.g Merseybeat, Skiffle, Ska etc. I'm in my 60s and came here with my 35 year old daughter who didn't know what any of those I mentioned sounded like - and still doesn't, even after nearly 90 minutes inside. There's a lot of information attached to the displays, but it's all reading - and this is billed as a music EXPERIENCE. If you already have background knowledge, the artefacts will build on that, but it almost felt as though this collection is for those who already know a fair bit about the music industry. There are already headphones at strategic points in the collections with video recordings, but those I listened to were pretty dry - relevant people looking back on the music of their era, rather than actual tracks to listen to. When we visited there was an ongoing tribute to Live Aid 40 and footage with music was shown on a central big screen every half hour, which did at least provide a feel for the music of that era. If the management make headphones and audio tracks available at strategic points as you go through the collection it would be much more of an experience and less of a museum. There's a huge amount of fascinating stuff here, and it has the potential to be so much more of an experiece. I wouldn't recommend it for families with children, but if you're someone who enjoys museums you could easily spend a couple of hours here.

Amazing place love the British Music so proud and gave me Goosebumps!! A must visit for Music fans. Honestly as soon as you enter and hear the music its on. The exhibits and interactions are crazy, playing the guitar, drums and yes i even gave the singing booth a go.

My wife and I went to the museum last week for the first time. It has a range of music covered and has a Live Aid exhibit right now. Definitely check it out especially anyone who grew up at this time. In the exhibits, there are clothing from various artists and handwritten notes. You can sing in a voice booth or play instruments. Fun for music lovers or history. Highly recommend.

A very bitter disappointment, do not bother going unless you are studying music or a Bob Geldof fanatic or you have enough money to waste!! £42 for a 10 minute experience with technology that doesn't work!!!! Its one tiny room with a couple of outfits in. Been fighting for at least a partial refund as it was just extortionate to be told its for charity when actually "very penny of your entry price goes into supporting British music by maintaining and improving our collection and supporting our charitable aims, including subsidising our wonderful education programme and supporting budding British artists." Doesn't sound very charitable to me!! Save your money and go to the Cavern Club or even better a free museum that's 4 storeys high is more enjoyable and you can make a donation only if you want to!!!

We went here after a personal recommendation and it didnt disappoint. Plenty for me to read about the history of music in Britain from the early 1900s to present day. Lots of memorabilia to view for each era and the instrument area was amazing with my 14 and 9 year olds loving playing guitars, drums and even a singing booth. The staff were tremendous and with the ticket lasting a year, we are already planning our next visit.

Great time, staff helpful, informative, plenty to see. The interactive area at the end was good. We didn’t have children with us but I’m sure they would have loved that

A great venue which covered all genres of music from the 50’s onwards. Lots of interactive activities. Guitars and drums to play. A performance by Boy George and a song booth. Nice cafe inside too to have a bite to eat / drink. Tickets valid for a year too !!!!

I thought this venue was a fantastic value for money and a must for music lovers. Myself (45) and my daughter (17) walked up at 10am having prordered tickets online and using topcashback for 12.75% back meaning in total we paid just £17 each. Bargain. Spent around 1 and a half hours appreciating the displays and the history, whilst interacting with screens and watching the shows that play every half hour. Even had the chance to play a Les Paul guitar at the end of the "rotation". As music lovers, we both really enjoyed this experience, and although I probably appreciated more of the genres and names, she certainly still loved it too and I would say any age can take something from it.

Covered all music from the 50's to the modern day. The spice girls exhibition was excellent and there was a virtual performance by Boy George. You can also spend time learning to play drums, keyboard, guitar and dance moves at the end. We stayed for just over 2 hrs but could have stayed longer!

We would recommend booking tickets online in advance as it’s a bit cheaper. The majority of staff were friendly during our visit. We spent a couple of hours looking around the museum. Areas were clearly identified if you wanted to explore in chronological order. Lots of interesting information and memorabilia. There’s a section at the end where you are encouraged to play instruments - keyboards, guitar, drums. My adult brother enjoyed this but was asked in a nice way to quieten down his playing. This seemed like a ridiculously unfair request to me - what’s the point having instruments there for people to play if they don’t want noise?! I have deducted a star for this, as I feel it was unnecessary treatment which impacted our enjoyment towards the end of our visit. Star Cafe within the building/attraction was okay, but no cold sandwich options. Gift shop was decent also.

A very enjoyable experience with the option to play some instruments. The museum is full of interesting information and fantastic costumes. The staff were all amazing very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this museum.

Amazing few hours spent in this museum. Take your headphones as the free audio tour brings the museum to life with fascinating information and music from the 50’s to the present day. Plenty of interactive areas including a fun dance room and hands on instrument section. The Spice Girls special exhibition and Boy George hologram performance were both highlights. The staff were super helpful, welcoming and informative 5 ⭐️

Artifact museum with dresses from the Spice girls to queens drum kit. You can try the vocal booth, drums, bass guitar. A must visit for across all music from def leppard to the Spice girls and the Beatles.

Wow! This is well worth a visit encompassing so much detail about so many popular music artists over a span of some 80 to approx 100 years. The information is well presented and easy to read, learn & understand. Loved the interactive parts of the museum and the opportunity to play the guitars, piano, drums etc etc. Plenty of staff around to give that personal touch makes it extra special. We were met by Duncan who was happy to make sure we gained the most possible out of our visit. She were also told the value of the ticket and how it could be used over a period of a year, which incidentally made it brilliant value.

It takes about two hours to do justice to this. Lots to read and see, and I liked the central ‘stage’ with various hologram performances. We also enjoyed messing around with the instruments at the end of the display. Teenagers would love this bit.

It's not the best Museum ever but it's not the worst either. The museum is basically an exposition about the British music in different decades. In the end of the exposition, there are a few instruments such as the drums and acoustic guitar that you can try on. That's pretty lit!

On a stormy day in Liverpool, we were looking for somewhere to shelter indoors. This was the perfect way to spend some time learning all about the evolution of music over the years. So interesting and very interactive!

We only learned of the existence of this attraction by chance the day before. I think it needs promoting more widely as we found it fascinating and a real trip down memory lane. We save a few sheckles by booking online about 15 mins before we arrived. The price is great value, as it also includes re-admission for a 12 month period. if that is something you can take advantage of. The hologram performance by Boy George was fascinating to watch, even if his music isn't your cup of tea. Yes, some of the interactive exhibits were a bit clunky in operation but that didn't spoil things for us, qs there are plenty of unique items to peruse in the display cabinets. There really is something for everyone of all ages there. We felt particulary blessed to have been fortunate enough to live through and experience the vast majority of British musical genres, fads, highs and lows. My only disappointment was the Gibson guitar 'hands on' section. Please get those axes strung with some decent springs and ensure the screen-based stomp boxes and amps actually respond to operation! The cafe is very reasonably priced for a quick bite though!

Interesting museum with many insightful exhibits on various bands and singers from around Britain. Added bonus is the virtual room where you get to try your hand at guitars, drums and keyboard.

What an amazing exhibition! I only had a few hours in Liverpool and so glad I visited. The guides were so helpful and the set up of the decades of music and exhibits were fantastic. At times it was like my life was being played out with all the memories and records I owned! I even had a visit to the dance studio 😂 There was also a Spice Girls exhibition on with all their costumes which was an added bonus Definitely worth a visit and your ticket is valid to use for a year.

A great experience, I don’t know why I never knew this was in Liverpool. Great location and although it’s only a small tour there’s a lot to see and listen to if you take your time and go through all the interactive material available . Well worth a visit and a good way to spend an hour or so.
