Black Country Living Museum Discovery Way, Dudley DY1 4AL

"We booked for the Santa hunt and what a great day we had. Dave was our excellent guide who was hilarious and entertaining throughout and made my son and daughters day. Also all of the other characters were great especially the blacksmith. Finished our visit off with a bag of fish and chips. Popped into the cake shop and then enjoyed a pint of mild and mulled wine in the pub. Thank you again for a well organised day"

"Amazing day out. We spent all day here, there was loads to see and learn about. The staff are more than just dressed the part, they are well informed, and seem to love sharing their history with tourists. Would definitely visit again!"

"This place is a real experience with lots to do for all ages. The staff, actors and demonstrations really help to bring the place to life, their enthusiasm shines through. I loved the way you could literally walk anywhere, through back yards, upstairs and downstairs in the houses etc. Easy to spend the whole day, especially if combined with the canal boat cavern tour (separate company to the museum). Very professionally run. The only small downside to our visit was the large amount of building work going on for their new area. But it didn't ruin our experience. Highly recommended."

"An absolute pleasure visiting today. Pricing is reasonable. It was extra special due to the jubilee. Meeting Queen Victoria was great. Only an actor but she displayed real regal presence. There's some real major works going on but does not distract from the remainder of the existing attractions. Staff are amazing. They get into real character and their knowledge is incredible. They take it all in their stride. Such dedication. This place is amazing and with the new builds going on, bringing the site into the 60's they are future proofing the whole area. A jewel in the heart of the proud people of the Black Country."

"Great insight into how thing were in the local area over a century ago. The Black Country was at the heart of the industrial revolution because of it's richness in mineral resources, and this permanent exhibition keeps that history alive. The workers acting out roles are great, and the explanations of how things were used or done are very detailed. It's a great day out for those with very inquisitive children. The fish & chips from Hobbs & Sons restaurant are delicious. Cooked in beef dripping, but vegetarian chips are also available. It's a must to try some of the Ales in the Bottle & Glass Inn. I paid £50 for my family of 4 for our first visit, and was then able to use the unchained pass to visit multiple times for free for a year. This came in handy because our first visit was during covid restrictions, so the quality was impacted. It's £3.50 to use the car park, and you pay this to buy a token from the gift shop which you use when exiting."
