What visitors say

Rani Grainger

Having grown up on the Wirral and being a regular visitor to Liverpool, I've often been past The Beatles Story but never been inside. That finally changed yesterday when I decided to go and see what all the fuss was about, and I'm so glad I did! It's a fascinating and immersive exhibition that takes you right into the world of The Beatles, and the audio tour elevates it even further with not only descriptions, but voice clips and interviews with those who were there. There's so much to see, and even as a very casual Beatles enjoyer I felt a little in awe getting to see things like hand-written lyrics and John Lennon's iconic sunglasses. (And the infamous Yesterday and Today Butcher Cover, which I've been fascinated by since I was a kid!) The staff were all very helpful and friendly, and they helped make the experience a fun and stress-free one. I went on Monday and buying a ticket on the door was very straightforward, and it wasn't too crowded but even on a weekday it was popular! The staff kept it smoothly running though, regardless of whether a section was quiet or more crowded. Overall, it's a great time. I have an overseas friend visiting next month and I can't wait to take her to see this. The one and only feedback I'd give is for the gift shop: please, please consider making merch with the Butcher Cover art! (Not saying I'd gladly spend far too much money on merch like that, but I'm not not saying it...)

We paid £17.50 for adult entry with available online discount, usual adult price is £20 at time of visiting, Buying tickets in advance is a must to avoid missing out. Posed photos taken on entry and audio tour headset given, Which was very informative, Some interesting displays and scenes Some were under repair (yellow submarine) I felt it lacked the music of the Beatles, there were a couple of areas where brief snippets of their music was played, ironically the fab 4 gift shop at the end played the most out of all there areas. Was a little disappointed with the amount of people who were allowed in at the same time as us, without the distraction of the audio tour you could feel a little claustrophobic. Gift shop and cafe are accessible without visiting the museum. Happy with the visit but could be better

As a Beatles fan, visiting The Beatles Story was an absolute dream come true and one of the main reasons I wanted to visit Liverpool. The museum is incredibly well presented, taking visitors on a fascinating journey through the lives, music, and legacy of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. The exhibits are immersive, informative, and filled with memorabilia, photographs, and stories that bring the history of The Beatles to life. What I loved most was how the museum captures not only their incredible success but also the spirit of Liverpool and the cultural impact they had on the world. The audio guide added great detail and made the experience even more engaging. Whether you’re a lifelong Beatles fan or simply curious about one of the most influential bands in history, The Beatles Story is a must-visit attraction. It left me feeling inspired, nostalgic, and even more appreciative of their music. Highly recommended—an unforgettable experience for any Beatles fan visiting Liverpool!

A very enjoyable way to spend a few hours right in the heart of the Albert Dock area. The Beatles story is put together in a very clever way, recreating different scenes from the bands history, hamburg, the cavern, yellow submarine. It has a cafe and small gift shop. Disabled access is not easy and it does seem to lack actual artefacts relating to the band. So the Beatles story is more of an excellent exhibition rather than a museum. I would definitely go again.
