1. Museum of Victorian Science
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 278 reviews
A virtual visit to Dr Frankensteins laboratory with Geissler Tubes, Bouquet Tubes, Railway Tubes, Jacob's Ladder, telegraph system, early x-ray tubes and many more crackling spark, electric flame laden demonstrations. Showing the education of the young Victorians, using many of the static accessories and rare artefacts, as used by them. We hope your visit here will prove interesting, stimulating and will give an insight into this largely extinct branch of science.

What an amazing and unique experience. The museum is run by a lovely couple an consists of 2 hours of demonstrations with explanation and refreshments at the halfway point. The room is small and can fit 4 visitors only. Tony is so enthusiastic and the museum is his lifes work, an entertaining and unique experience!

An unexpectedly excellent visit during a day out in Filey. Welcoming café followed by the most informative and highly interesting distillery tour. The whisky sampling topped off a fantastic experience. Should be on the itinerary of anyone visiting the area. A true gem.

This is an absolutely fabulous museum. A must for anyone visiting Whitby. So quirky and fun and informative. From a mummified hand (a burglar’s lucky charm) to a cannon from the battle of Trafalgar, there is something for everyone. We ranged in age from 75 to 15 and everyone was happy. Lovely staff too.

Stopped off at the church by chance on way to the abbey and we’re glad we did as it was a most interesting place which should not be missed. The enclosed pews of various shapes and sizes and status fill the ground floor and balcony which overlook a three tier pulpit. Most unusual and fascinating. Some of the upstairs pews have external timber clad stairs adding to it’s uniqueness. Finally the surrounding graveyard offers fine views of the harbour.
