The Beatles Story, The Albert Dock, Liverpool

Wow, just amazing! Honestly one of the coolest museums I’ve visited in a long time. The audio guide makes the Beatles’ story super engaging, the exhibitions are fun and interactive, and I spent hours there without noticing the time. Great vibes, lovely café, nice gift shop – such a fantastic experience! An absolute must if you’re in Liverpool.

The Beatles Story Museum was different than I anticipated, but highly enjoyable! We were greeted by kind and welcoming staff at the door and purchased tickets when we arrived. The ticket includes the audio guide, which isn’t just an enhancement, but a really essential part of the visit. The audio guide tells the story of the Beatles as you move from room to room. So it’s a combination of recreations and memorabilia, organized in a way to walk you through their story. I found it interesting and insightful. We were there just over an hour, though your visit could be longer if you listened to every bonus video and feature on the audio guide. Self-guided tour ends with a cafe and then a huge gift shop. So glad we did this when visiting Liverpool. It was different than anticipated, but in a good way!

Not knowing what to expect and not really a big fan of museums we were pleasantly surprised at how good this was. The staff were very friendly and the audio was easy to use giving details as you walked around. The immersive areas were fantastic, walking around each area with background music really brought things to life. The yellow submarine, the cavern club, strawberry fields, abbey road, penny Lane... everything was amazing. We visited the actual cavern club the night before and the room in the museum was exactly the same. We are so glad we visited. The shop, cafe and discovery area where you could dress up as a beetle were all great too. Highly recommend, probably the best place we visited in Liverpool.
