Bastante bien la visita a este museo. Muy completo todo, pero bajo mi opinion me faltaron cosas en la zona de dinosaurios (que esta bastante bien, pero es mas enfocada en los niños) y sobretodo en la zona del antiguo egipto donde se veneraban mucho a los dioses y la mayoria de info es de Osiris, y hay muy poco de otros dioses (una figurita de anubis, otra de bastet, y otra de horus) pero lo vi bastante completo en todo lo demas. Y con interacciones y encima actividades para los niños

Brilliant museum with so much to see! From dinosaurs and Ancient Egypt to the aquarium, bug house and planetarium, there’s something for everyone. Staff were lovely, the place is free to enter, and we could have spent all day exploring. Highly recommend a visit! If I was asked on one thing they could improve on, I would say air-conditioning, it was really hot and stuffy, but there was mini AC machines set up around the exhibitions

It was a pleasant and rewarding experience at this world museum, my children loved it. Admission is totally free, there’s lots of attractions here in the city of Liverpool.
