Joe - a jewel in the crown - An outstanding museum packed with fascinating information and incredible memorabilia, an absolute must-visit for any music lover. I especially want to give a huge shout-out to Joe, who is a real gem to the museum. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and even took the time to give my son some guitar tips as he’s just beginning his musical journey. Joe is an exceptionally talented guitarist, and we really appreciated his warmth and expertise. We’ll definitely be back to continue our music learning using the free return visit included with our tickets. Well done, Joe — fantastic customer experience! 👏

Great laugh and very interesting for all ages - Wonderful musical experience. We bought our earbuds and downloaded the app to follow the guide whilst we walked around - really made it. The memorabilia was interesting and musical events on the stage were great. Loved the Live Aid stuff - lots of memories. Being able to try the instruments and sing in a booth was hilarious. Great way to spend couple of hours.

Music overload yeahhhh - If one thing different to do that is do this if you get a Coty Explorer Liverpool you can get this. All I’ll say is they open the doors and you go into an unbelievable array of music memorabilia of decades. If you love music you’re love this.

A must see for music buffs - Must see for anyone who has an interest in British music thru the decades. Lots of displays, with artefacts and you also had the option to play instruments. They also had half hourly shows on the big screen of artists.

Brilliant place if you love music - Brilliant place to visit if you love music. There is the history of music n the different genres from the 50s right up till now. You can interact, listen and learn with many of the displays. And there is also an instrument area near the end to see if you have a hidden talent on the guitar, drums etc. Only thing I’d say is. The entry is a bit expensive. But it is a great experience

Fabulous for music lovers- could've stayed all day!! - The exhibition and interactive element is brilliant - love the way it's split by era - and like a jukebox experience and the try yourself part was awesome. The only glaring question - why Black Sabbath aren't featured??!!! They invented a whole new genre - metal/ alternative is given such a small part compared to Britpop/ Indie yet has had a similar impact on music culture- please add more!🙏 maybe Ozzy/ Sabbath could have a visiting exhibit like Live Aid has

Fun visit with lot of history - My wife and I visited the British Music Experience recently on short trip to Liverpool. We love music and this was a good one. Broken down into different eras and well put together. Special exhibition on Live Aid which was fun to see. Good price for your money and book on-line to get little discount. Very friendly staff plus there are breakout areas to sing, dance and play instruments. Good times and highly recommend.

Interesting but not worth the money. - Lots of information but well overpriced. Lots of better museums to visit in Liverpool such as the museum of Liverpool which is free
