This is a great museum . I suggest spending a good 2 hours here as they’re is a lot to see. A wide range of exhibitions including retro toys of different eras, sixties exhibition and a Victorian Street

Andy Williams

An excellent museum for those of you who like history and want to travel in time from the Victorian era through to modern day York!

My favourite museum in York , Kirkgate is worth the admission on its own! £10 per adult (also admits 2 kids free) joint ticket for here and Yorkshire museum , gift aid it and your ticket lasts a year!

Nathan Williams

This is a great place to visit with so much to see and do. The exhibitions are great and very interesting. The street was great. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Martin Mitchell

Great museum - can easily spend a couple of hours here with a lot to learn. A modest entry fee as well , would recommend to anyone!

Louis Morley

Was worth the entrance fee (children go free with a paying adult), some interesting sections on toys , food, and a full mock up of a Victorian street , complete with shops and schools.

I love the interaction area and the mid 1800s town . Well worth a stop! And this comes from a foreigner:)

Chris Phillips

Kirkgate is a wonderfully atmospheric recreation of a Victorian street . The sweet shop there sells authentic nineteenth century treats!

Eva Schiave

This museum is so enjoyably intense- it is well worth the steep price of admission

Pearson - Always Learning

The museum is housed in prison buildings which were built on the site of the castle from the 18th century.

Richard Carter

Cafe is surprisingly reasonably priced and has a good view of Clifford's Tower

Maryam Alsayegh

Nice place to visit and know more about York

Bob Kingsley

Very enjoyable - the Victorian street was particularly striking :)

Nicola Hughes

A great little museum with historic rooms and a street. Better than a load of old stuff in cabinets!

Carl Minns

Best museum in Yorkshire (outside of Hull!)

Richard Foleher

Free for York residents with a York Card, available from the Library if you don't have one

Robin Hood Caravan Park

£8 for an adult both kids were free so it worked out a very reasonable few hours

Libby Arnold

Don't go during school holidays. Too many screaming children make you want to rush around the whole museum just to get out as fast as you can.

Serpil

What a fantastic museum in YORK !!!

Antonia Malinova

Well worth it!

Anna Lupton

Can easy spend 4-5 hours here Something for everyone

Scott Robertson

Try and go when there are not going to be a lot of kids running around. Can be very annoying.

Keith The Cameraman

£8 to get in and nothing special - certainly not worth the money. Typically overpriced attraction in York

Peter Brash

Don't eat here it's expensive and quite poor quality. Museum is good though

Geórgia Belluzzo

Vale muito a visita. Tem 2 prédios no museu . Gostei de ambos os lados

Rosselin Pastoriza Pernia

la representación de la ciudad antiguamente vale la pena.. sobre todo en la época victoriana
