Had a fantastic day. The historic areas comes to life through the people in character telling stories of how people lived at specific times. Well worth becoming a friend if your thinking which tickets to choose. The 10% discounts pay back the small extra cost, such as food, fish n chips, bakery, cafe, old sweet shop, gift shop etc. If you are a carer then you go free with the person you care for. Dogs are allowed if controlled and well behaved. We will visit again later in the year and hopefully enjoy the same weather and experience seeing all the many attractions. You do need reasonable weather as many areas are outdoors. We went in the week which can have children from schools. For me this made the experience better especially listening to them joining in an old school type lesson, reciting maths times table. Last point, would be a great experience if you take parents/ grandparents. They will no doubt have stories to share that they will relate to with the many exhibits. Lots of ride options, trams buses on regular route to help with getting around. The museum is still expanding so more to come.
A must see attraction if visiting the area. Purchasing tickets in advance is a must during peak seasons. Your ticket will also allow you repeat visits for a whole year from the date of purchase. A review on their website will tell you all you need in regards to the various attractions and their planned future developments. Beamish is one of those places you could spend the whole day exploring and still have more to see. Once on site you can opt to travel on their restored motor buses, electric trolleybuses. or walk! A good pair of walking shoes if choosing the later, is advised to transverse the various areas spread out over this 350 acre site. Either way you choose, you’ll be treated to a amazing travel through forgotten and living history with period dressed, very knowledgeable staff. Most shops items are for display only, but a small amount of goods are available for visitors to purchase. The period chip shops and pub are essential to visit. There are plenty of areas to rest and relax. Cash and cards accepted, advise to take both just in case the card payment machine are having issues. Wheelchair access to most areas. Dog friendly but some areas only allow Assistance dogs only.
Back third time to this place. You pay ticket and you can back again as many times you want within one year. Clean places and so friendly staff. This place offered a lot and struggle to do everything in one day. Dogs friendly. Some of the attractions you have to pay extra. In pub they offered nice and tasty Scottish eggs. Beers are also good. Book your photographer to get picture like 40 years ago. This time I took grandparents - they really love it.
What a lovely place...fantastic day out for all ages! We spent over 3h but we didn't have time to see some areas so I recommend getting there early and spend the whole day. The staff was entertaining, at one of the shops the man at the till was singing old tunes from the 50s as well as telling us few anecdotes. The tram journeys are worth a try as well as wandering inside the dentist and the lawyers homes. We will definitely go back.
Can’t recommend this museum enough, had a fantastic day out here, just took my time and walked through everything. The car park is free is there is no need to rush. Staff were really friendly and helpful. I drove nearly 4 hours to visit and it was well worth it. I’ll definitely be back again as ticket gets you entry for a year. Really enjoyed my day here.
Never tire of this place, we love it here. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Sadly the drift mine is closed at present and unlikely to open anytime in the next few months due to it having no working electric or ventilation. There's also no trains running from the train station due to damage to the tracks. We were told they may restart in 2024. A wonderful day out. The fact you can go back as many times as you like in a year for free and also get free parking makes this a brilliant affordable day out.
What an incredible place Beamish museum is to visit. We last visited in 2017, but since then there has been more additions to the site. And the future is looking very good, as more and more is being added all the time. Its a great day out for couples and families with plenty to see and do. There are picnic areas aswell as cafes and restaurant areas. There is plenty to see and do, and many hours can be spent here easily. Can highly recommend more than just the one visit. Initial entry payment, entitles you to come back as many times as you like within 12 months, so great value all round.
Great place to visit! Really interesting to get a different perspective to life as it was in the early 1900s. Each of the areas is very well designed with lots of detail and the staff really help bring it to life. Tickets may appear expensive but if you take your time exploring each area in depth it's definitely worth it. Plus they work as an annual pass so you can return multiple times in the following 12 months.
Had the most amazing time experiencing how people used to live. Hearing all the stories from the staff who work there. We have been twice now and still not explored all of the museum. So with your purchase of your tickets you can go back as many times as you like in a 12 month period. So we are definitely coming back soon. Keep up the good work can't wait to see all the new developments what are taking place soon.
A must visit for everyone. Don’t know how I’ve left it so long to review, been 3 times in 5 months and I live a 300 mile drive away, unlimited visits from a single ticket, locals are so lucky to have this. I’ll keep this short and sweet, even if you aren’t a big fan of history, this is an amazing day out, to be fair, if I lived closer I’d go here just for a walk about, it’s the most beautiful picturesque area I’ve seen that isn’t wilderness. But as someone who enjoys history, this has literal miles of it, it’s truly unbelievable what they’ve achieved here rebuilding history as it was, to list everything would be impossible, I’ll drop a few pics, but you need to view their website for interesting details, and try and make it during an event, it makes it a lot more interesting and involving.
