The Beatles Story was fantastic! It was interactive and I wish I had a bit more time there! Loved the yellow submarine...the stage where the drum set was...and basically it was a walk back through time! A definite must see if you're in Liverpool! more

I was quite embarrassed going here after my Liverpudlian relatives warned me not to. They said it was just a rip-off tourist place. They were right. But I just had to go because I love the Beatles and I was in Liverpool. I hated everything about this tacky set up except for the gift shop at the end whichi I... more

The complete tour of this exhibition will take about 1 hour. We had the audio guide in French and I was disappointed to hear that it was an English speaking person speaking French who recorded the tour, it would have been better to take a native speaker. Of course the person speaks an excellent French but the tone and the... more

The detailed audio tour, narrated by John Lennon's sister with lots of bits by others takes you through a series of rooms recreating vital bits of the Beatles story. We particularly liked walking down Matthew Street and into the Cavern Club while the audio tour had a club regular describing the atmosphere - and the smell! After walking through the... more

I'm writing this as someone who knew the Beatles story prior to arriving in Liverpool on a day trip. Not knowing anything about the various attractions begging to Beatles fans, I bought a ticket to The Beatles Story. What I got was a 60 minute audio guide to a photo album posted on walls through a maze of galleries. It... more

Located at the Kings Dock, the Beatles Story is essentially, a collection of static displays, you do get a fairly comprehensive history of the formation and career of the band - the audio guide narrated by John Lennon's sister, Julia. So, as true fans / devotees will know, the story begins at the Woolton Village Fete, where Paul met John... more

Okay, this is Liverpool and thus if it's not about football / soccer then it's probably about the Beatles. The museum is nice enough, and walks you through how the 4 lads from Liverpool conquered the world of music. However, I did not learn anything new from the museum, and there was insufficient attention paid to the Beatles legacy, like... more

Visited in 2007 - grew up with the Mersey sound but never got to see the Fab Four. The entrance to the museum is a bit of a crush and we felt a bit pushed along by visitors, (not the staff). However we soon learned to go at our own pace. learnt lots about the Beatles and their background. Noticed... more
