Traveler reviews
Buck Wild
★★★★★3 months agoA very enjoyable way to spend a few hours right in the heart of the Albert Dock area. The Beatles story is put together in a very clever way, recreating different scenes from the bands history, hamburg, the cavern, yellow submarine. It has a cafe and small gift shop. Disabled access is not easy and it does seem to lack actual artefacts relating to the band. So the Beatles story is more of an excellent exhibition rather than a museum. I would definitely go again.
I love good food very much
★★★★★2 months agoPerfect for The Beatles fan. But if you are not a fan, still easy to enjoy the museum and learn the history and the impact of them from those time until today. Recommend to use the audio guide. The staffs also friendly and very welcoming.
