What visitors say
Lots of tanks, didn't realise there were so many types. Watched the Tank show at 1pm which was interesting. There's a cafe, restaurant and gift shop on site as well as a play park. Cost was cheap per child. Can pay £5pp and have a ride in a tracked vehicle.

Pleasant staff. Nice exhibits. A lot of reading! The information hasn't been updated in years, as there's recent works and findings that are not mentioned. Must say that I don't believe that it was worth the £18 entrance.

It really was a most amazing and very interesting Exhibition..There was a good shop selling lots of very interesting historical Egyptian works as well as historical works ..The actual experience of the exhibition the replica items were so good you would think you're looking the real things...my favourite section was the mummy's... There was actual books of time relating to Howard carter.. There was a recording of Howard carter speaking on what it was like to first enter the Tomb...you advised an hour to see it all. I personally feel you need 2 hours to absorb and learn the info on display....

Well organised, disabled access available, friendly staff, the whole exhibition was great! The VR experience was such a laugh & in our opinion the best part! You DO NOT want to park in the excel London car park though, you’ll be charge £25 even if your not there the whole day.

People say this museum offers a comprehensive and educational telling of Tutankhamun's tomb discovery with extraordinary replicas, and staff are friendly and helpful.
Other reviews mention the exhibits can be overpriced and the venue can be small.
