Came with parents and we all had a great time. The owner is clearly very passionate about his collection and we all marveled at his amazing displays. Dad got very nostalgic seeing props and costumes from the stories he watched as a child. And if you can, buy the guidebook. The £5 goes towards the upkeep of this fascinating place, and its a great read as well. Would definitely return given the chance.

The Museum of the North of England is a stimulating and vibrant and prestigious museum right in the heart of the North of England. You are invited to enter the wonderful and educational and frightening world of the North. You can look at things, read things, if you can't read you can look at more things. Old things and new things. The past come to life. Enjoy your visit and thank you.

Lovely spot with friendly staff. Lots of parking. A young woman helped me find the toilet. An engaging few hours with my son looking at the local artifacts and learning about some quite gruesome tales. The musuem seems to have the best collection of Victorian Dolls in the region, a bonus in my mind. Unfortunately the cafe was closed on our visit but the selection of cakes and sandwiches did look delicious. We will have to return to sample these. A lot to take in on a single visit, we will be back.

Great facility with superb machines, some of monumental cultural importance (e.g. the Winston Churchill, Sans Pareil & royal coaches) well worth a visit, I return time after time. Have been previously when a classic car show and other shows were held outside, really really good.

It’s free to get in to Discovery Museum, which is a massive space showcasing the best of Newcastle’s heritage over three floors and extensive galleries crammed with inventions, world-firsts, model ships and interactive activities for curious kids – and adults! Telling the story of Newcastle and its people from Roman times through to the present day Discovery Museum champions the spirit of the north east area. With events on all year.

The museum is free to visit (although donations are gratefully received). We visited on a sunny Saturday and there was a steady flow of people but not by any means overcrowded. There are three floors of rooms that you can visit covering topics such as life locally, the local regiment, a science maze and on our visit there was an inventors section and the Stephenson Rocket exhibition. My two boys, aged nine and seven, thoroughly enjoyed their day there. Lots of the displays have reading but there is also a great deal of interactive exhibits. There is a cafe there but we took our own lunch and used the tables on the lower ground floor to picnic. There is no real outdoor space, other than the front on the pavement but the building is light and airy so that if it is a sunny day, you don't feel like you're missing out too much. Several car parks locally which are reasonable in price. Easily can spend a good four hours there.
