I had never heard of this place until recently. Very intuitive place to visit providing an insight and information about how lives would have been saved having access to these shelters. You can find out about sites the enemy had targeted. The shelters do give you a sense of what people had to go through. You can spend an hour here. Staff are very friendly, jovial and have a great sense of humour; especially Roger! Excellent place for a day out. As it is in the centre of town, you can park in any of the paid parking lots in and around the area. Great place for everyone to learn more about the price that has been paid in the past for today’s freedom!
Loved going here and gained some knowledge into the atmosphere and cramped conditions people would have been in under very extreme circumstances in the war. Very handy using hand held electronic guides to give insight into how things were and the staff were lovely and friendly.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Came today very friendly staff, your given an audio guide which are good but are very low sound. Very interesting and daunting how it must have been in ww2. £5.50 for adults free for children Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Great experience and good value for money, includes guided audio tour. Fascinating to see how people lived during the air raids, highly recommendedVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We went today with our 7y/o. Really interesting. Available Parking close by at the shopping centre.. We love walking round at our own leisure. Only downside was the audio guides are very hard to hear even with the volume full. Definitely worth a visit. £5.50 per adult and kids under 16 get in free per paying adult.
We visited on a sunday afternoon and there was no wait, adults are £5.50 and under 16s are free which is great value! The man at the desk was very friendly and explained it all, you are given an audio guide to use at various points throughout the trunnels. When you enter the tunnels there is a brief audio and light show to set the scene then you can wonder through the tunnels at your own pace, looking through all the different rooms and tunnels. Theres lots of interesting information boards dotted around. My kids and i really enjoyed it, as WW2 is an interest of ours. Its pram accessible of you can carry the pram down the few initial steps at the beginning
Definitely worth a visit, very informative tour and cheap entry, really enjoyable Visited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNo
What a brilliant place to visit; interesting, atmospheric and actually very cheap for a morning/afternoon's activity with kids free for under 16s! You get to experience the surroundings of an underground air raid shelter little changed since it was left empty in the 1940s. It's pretty big housed up to 4000 people and we spent just over an hour there. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a cheap car park nearby, across the A6 from the Merseyway shopping area/ town centre. Also walkable from the bus station or train station.
Great place for some real history. Went on a free stockport open day. Loved the walk round and reading the stories. Down side the audio tour no longer worksVisited onWeekdayWait timeUp to 10 minReservation recommendedNo
It is a really interesting place to learn about the history of WW2. The tour begins with a short audio visual display, cleverly done with lights and shadows, which sets the scene for the creation of the shelters. Once that is over, you venture into the tunners. There are areas detailing the history of the area during WW2 and other interesting bits of history. There are various areas to see, including the wardens room, sleeping areas, toilets, sick bay, kitchen area, and a reconstructed Anderson shelter. There is an accompanying audio tour that gives extra information at various points, as well as real testimonies of experiences. Finally, there's a shop with wartime themed items. I noticed a sign for guided tours that happen on some evenings where you get to see extra parts of the tunnels not usually accessible to the public age 16+ for this tour. We spent around 45 minutes here as a family, but could have easily spent double the time if we didn't have a toddler with us.
