What a fun way to see a great museum. We had a questionnaire to take round with us and answer questions on each level. At the end we noth got a Time Trap pen for our troubles. The museum is so informative with great exhibits and fun snippets in each level, to encourage reading the posters and information on display. We had no Idea that Grimsby stsrted out as the most horrid place in Britain. I wonder if it was to do with the DANES, establishing it 🫢

Fantastic little hidden gem. Lots of interesting facts to read and items/ displays to look at. Very reasonable priced, we took our time reading & looking at everything so it took us 90 mins to walk round. We went on a Tuesday afternoon and we were the only ones in there.

Tucked inside Grimsby town hall is this little gem. Pay the reasonable entrance fee, pick up a pencil and quiz and be taken through the hall to the entrance. Going down and up through narrow windy stairs and passages is a wealth of history, take your time so not to miss anything! 30\60mins free parking next to it or a short walk to paid. I reported lights were out in zone 7, but I had my trusty phone!

Very good experience, loads of things to see and very educational, they have a quiz sheet which helps you as you go along your Watford both adults and children. Worth the visit , although not pushchair or wheelchair friendly, staff was very informative and didnt charge for my mother who had mobility issues .. she managed the steady walk round but she isnt fully needing a walker to mobilise ..the whole family had fun and the price for entry is cheap enough too. I've loads of pictures but limited what ive posted as dont want to spoil the experience.
