A really interesting place to spend a rainy afternoon! We go there as a family quite often as it is fee to enter (although the museum values donations). It is really interesting, my daughter loves the Roman exhibit the best! There are loads of quizzes the children can do whilst walking around. There is a natural history room with of... More

Kids loved it, quite a lot of hands-on especially the microscopes! A typical house through the ages was also fun and well done. I loved the film which showed Chester from birth to the distant future, just on the left as you enter the museum. More

It wasn't easy to locate as it had scaffolding around the front but once inside we found rather an eclectic mix of different artefacts mixed with Olympic memorabilia. There wasn't much "structure of flow" to the place which we found a bit disappointing overall. However, admission is free so worth checking it out anyway. More

Nicely laid out museum in a beautiful town house with about the right levels of information. The Roman gravestones & the Chester silver collection are especially interesting & it is good to find a free visitor attraction worth making time to visit - highly recommended. More

Well worth a look round - very well layed out. The house through the ages was an added bonus and held my interest and nice to see rooms through different periods in history. The main museum was of more interest to my husband and the benefit of free addmission made you want to leave a donation. More

Loved this place. Easy to reach from Chester City Center. Loved the Roman artefacts, but more than this loved the Victorian life style exhibition. However nearly missed this as it is through the shop. Well worth a see and more than this it is free :D More
