A good day out if you enjoy history, this place is packed to the rafters. I particularly enjoyed the section on the holocaust survivors, there were photos and stories of each and everyone, some sad and others celebrated their life.Café on site, very basic menu but ok. Small shop too with a varied array of goods.

Educational, informative, sometimes a little sad reading the events and after effects of war. Bit dark to see and be able to read all of the information on display but perhaps this is the atmosphere they are going for? Free entry, parking a bit expensive, recommend a visit

Had a great school trip to IWM North as our class is studying World War One at the moment. The children had the opportunity to meet a couple of veterans and really enjoyed the Q&A session with them. The museum has some great exhibits and really captivated the children's imaginations. I would thoroughly recommend a trip there!

My experience here was educative and I learnt a lot. Getting here I believed we had to get tickets to enter but it came to my surprise that it was free admission and the only things you might pay for is your food cause they have a cafeteria and a guide which they sell . I learnt a lot about the British wars and survivals generally and I saw a lot of artifact from centuries ago and it was a wholesome experience. They have slide shows that play every one hour but you’re not allowed to take videos of the slideshow but generally you can take photos of the museum and the structures in it.

Definitely worth a visit to see what they have to offer. I personally expected to see more exhibits. However, there is a limited display. However, i can't complain when it is free to enter. There is a cafe downstairs with adequate food and drink choices with a gift shop.

Visually beautiful museum. The layout is in an easy to digest manner. A good day out for anyone who enjoys history. It’s was free entry at the time but I bought a programme as a donation. You can spend a few hours going through all the exhibits the museum has to offer.

Interesting building design. The museum itself is well laid out with an easy to follow and chronological order from 1914- modern day. Whilst entry is free, consider making. A donation or buy a guide to support the ongoing work.

Had a good day out with the Son.Has a interesting and good selection of items ranging from ww1 to modern times and from all over the world not just England.Having said that We found the fact that the parking starts a £5for 4 Hrs and is only payable with credit/debit cards on site or on the internet, also the cafe also only takes card payment and is not very good value (can Dr pepper £2.20 and I think all the cake started at about £3.20 and up) could have been better prices for today family.

It was build to tell such unbelievable stories of over a Century of Conflict, gives you a chill as well and also makes me grateful to those who sacrifice their all at all cost. My Son enjoyed the visit so much.Staff are so helpful too, hats off to them all.I highly recommend.

Enjoyed the regular short movie displays on the various walls during the visit. Thought the Jewish display would’ve been more substantial but a touching display of family stories from the wars were very good. It’s a developing museum and can sense there’s more displays to come.
