Hull & East Riding Museum — Attraction in Great Britain

We specifically searched out free musuems and came across the Musuem Quarter in Hull. Parking was nearby, and wasn't extortionate (though the current road works meant we had to go over a bridge to back on ourselves, but I digress).

From the moment we walked in, the staff were super friendly and welcoming - happy to allow us big kids to do the trail. Straight away, you walk through to a huge wooly mammoth and the exhibition is a walk through the beginning of time. Really great for kids, really interactive and lots to see. Staff are really friendly and helpful all the way through and a great trail to keep kids entertained!

Makes for a great day out and theres a beauitful courtyard, so pack a picnic and enjoy these great (FREE!) museums for a great...

We arrived on a quiet October afternoon and were greeted by a pleasant lady who explained the layout and how to use the lifts.

This museum is something different. I visit museums all over the country and in Europe too. It is not the biggest but is very interesting. Everything is about the experience, the age of the visitors. Kids these days are more interesting in phones and apps on the phones ( I have a 13 year old daughter) ,but I stopped her to play with the phone, and she became interested. Is a museum special because you can see things from around 80-100 years ago , 1000 years ago or older. Is something for everybody . Archaeology , paleontology, or modern days( cars, buses, shops, carriages, etc) . Go and you will be happy after ,cos you don't waste few hours...
