The building itself is quite attractive, and so painstakingly refurbished to make the experience authentic. The information inside is thorough and interesting, and has many interactive exhibits. Staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit, as even outside of the YAT pass scheme it only costed £3.50 entry for two students.

Barley Hall was quite interesting, showing the history of the medieval times; the food eaten, illnesses etc. More for school visits but still interesting all the same.

May be harder to find but well worth a visit as the place is steeped in history. Great photo opportunities too.

Well worth a visit for a child-friendly history lesson. Plenty of interactive exhibits and gruesome facts, in a typical horrible histories style. The guides who sit in some of the rooms really know their stuff so don't be shy about asking questions. Great for kids and adults alike.

Daughter wanted to visit as Horrible Histories exhibition taking place. Made a mistake of not getting a discounted joint ticket at Jorvik centre so £13 for family entry - and not worth it. We found it difficult to find as maps not very good and could easily have missed the entrance as its tucked away down alley ways. The building... More

So interesting, very good value great for kids lots read and see and do. Really funny now horrid histories have a hand in it.

Wandered across this museum, wasn't sure if we wanted to go in or not but as we got half price tickets as we'd also visited the BathHouse museum, it would have been rude not to!! Excellent displays by the Horrible histories author about gore, sickness and death which we loved (aged 30 and 31)

The story behing the Hall is astounding and it is well worth a visit. We were lucky to have it to ourselves, which added to the glorious atmosphere. The next day we cut through the alley which has a window into the main hall and it was full of children dressed up - very sweet but glad they weren't there... More

This is well worth a visit if you are interested in history. The staff were helpful, we had a long chat with one of the helpers who gave us lots of additional information. Whilst we were there they had a display of costumes from film and tv, such as The Kings Speech and Downton Abbey, which was really fascinating.
