Absolutely Great Museum!!!! My 4 year old loved the place easily spent two hours in there could of spent more though. You just couldn't get bored from animals of all kinds to dinosaurs to gems to ancient Greek and Romans to Hadrian's wall honestly the list goes on. They had a fabulous shop at the front and lockers to store stuff in and a lovely little cafe which was extremely busy so we gave it a miss. I will definitely be going back! My son hasn't stopped talking about it.

What to do on a rainy day in Newcastle? Well this is a place worth visiting with some very interesting exhibits and a particularly good one regarding Hadrians Wall and the Romans who lived and worked at it. There is a small section on dinosaurs which children found very interesting. There are a couple of cafes, one serving hot food upstairs and a small one on the ground floor at the rear for snacks and drinks, which is reasonably priced

This place is brilliant for young and old alike. Beautiful building full of interesting artifacts and loads of stuff to keep the kids entertained. The staff are always helpful and very friendly. Free to go in and have a look but donations are very welcome. The gift shop is also quite reasonably priced.

Can't believe this fact museum is a free entry... However I did give a donation. Plenty to see and do not just for kids either... The shop had plenty of unusual gifts to buy. Staff very cheerful

Lovely museum jam-packed with terrific things to see. Particularly good for classicists and anyone interested in Roman antiquities. Some great natural history items too!
