Nice and interesting museum to visit at any time, it can take one to two hours to see all the exhibits. They welcome you very kindly and there are several guides to take care of you. They also offer you a little tour through a full-size World War I trench with all its props including a machine gun nest. The coffee lounge is also very nice and convenient.
An absolutely first class military museum, well managed with outstanding exhibits with a knowledgeable and friendly staff, a history lesson in itself. Also a comfortable and clean cafe area with very reasonable prices. Not to be missed if you’re anywhere in or around Aberdeen.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
My Grandad was a Gordon Highlander during the war. As I am visiting Scotland for the first time I was advised to go here. Its quite small but the family ticket makers it a reasonable price. I didn't learn too much that I didn't already know from family stories of his time there however a curate took the time to talk to us. He explained that once covid restrictions had gone they would probably return to undertaking research requests and would hopefully help find some more information. They have little lego figures around for the children to find so that helped keep my youngest amused
No1 attraction for us, wonderful museum easy to navigate, and a helpful guide, well worth a few hours of your time. Good cafe as well.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

My wife and I visited the Gordon Highlanders' Museum during our two-week road trip around Scotland. We were staying a couple of days in central Aberdeen, pre-booked, and walked there. It is well-signposted and easy to find. It was quiet when we arrived, and we walked straight in. There is a self-guided audio tour push the button on the device and get the commentary, as well as a number of friendly, roving volunteer guides. We used a combination of both. It is a most interesting museum, explaining the foundation, history, battles and fate of the regiment, providing the stories of great derring-do and 19 Victoria Crosses 11 of which are exhibited. You'll also find a section of Sadam Hussein's bedroom. Weather permitting, there is an outside re-construction of a WW1 trench. Make sure you take a guide with you, as ours really brought the exhibit to life with the stories of the harsh experiences of the soldiers dug-in and fighting there. There is a small cafe and a small shop.
Wonderful place. The hand held guided tour takes you from the beginning of the very start of the regiment to the present day. Really well laid out easy to follow. The gardens are beautiful. The staff are very helpful, friendly and happy. Giving excellent presentations and loads of information. Well worth a visit
Military museum, very clean and nice exhibits. The audio player I had did not work very well, but everything was clearly labeled on the cases It cost me £7 to enter. There were areas I would not have gone to if an employee passing by hadn't mentioned them. I wish the layout of the museum was more clearly marked for where to go. One of the employees at the front could have been friendlier, she made remarks to other employees and also to me on the way out that made me feel she really didn't want to be there. What made the museum worth while for me was the guide I had for the trench outside. He early 60s, used to teach microbiology was very patient answering my questions and quite knowledgeable.
Very nice friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Staff at hand to answer any questions you may have. Its a great day out lots of history to look back on. Kids will enjoy it to plenty of weapons to see, uniforms and helmets to dress up and also a trench to explore. Even a nice cafe to enjoy.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
