We went to the museum during the midterm break. It was a little busy but we didn't have to wait. They had some exhibitions going on - Dr Who and a Renactment. It was really informative and the kids (4 year olds) had a great time. They specially liked Clara's Cottage. In the main museum, there were puzzles for them to arrange and a mini movie upstairs. There's also a little reading corner with few toys. It was a fun day out. They got tired so we didn't explore every bit of the museum so we'd be going back.

Excellent museum. Interesting history of Weston, great displays, lovely helpful staff. Also a nice cafe and different exhibitions ,(Dr Who at the moment), so something for everyone.

Amazing experience. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. A hidden treasure and, with free entry, it's well worth a visit.

It's a good little museum, staff were really friendly and helpful. Smaller than you expect, and tiny displays.

Cute place. Today it was not busy because it was sunny so the majority of people were at the beach. The staff is nice. Its a small museum but it is very interesting so i recommend. There was an exhebition about myths and beasts where you can see different artists works+ books they have worked on, there is a corner you can sit on the cleverly designed log beanbags and read a book from the basket. Upstairs has a bit about weston history. there are a couple of interactive bits you can do, puzzels or touching the potato stone. i always want to touch things in a museum so if there are interactive bits im instantly happy. Also you can try different hats on and historical outfits. You cant eat outside food in the seating area bellow but can buy cakes and drinks from their cafe which are good tasting, brownie and viki sponge was 3 pounds a slice. Gift shop had cool animals made from stones that i didn't buy but they were 3.50 B) super cute Ohyeah and i LOVE the toilets design the green tiles im in love toilets are clean

One of the best local small museums around! Very engaging and informative. We particularly enjoyed seeing how Weston-Super-Mare developed from almost nothing to a bustling seaside town in the 1800s. (Please note their cafe stops serving at 3pm.)

Great local attraction. Very nice coffee shop and gift shop inside. Check for kids activities and exhibitions before coming in as booking required.

This is a great place with a lovely atmosphere. Being a local and a history nerd I personally loved the parts covering Worlebury Hillfort. Amazing to see the people and items discovered there in the pits still visible today. I really love the wolf, bison and bear bones - makes you realise how different (and more scary) life must have been in these parts not that long ago. The more recent history was also nice to see from WW2, Great British sea side holidays to the nod to the Romans. There was also a Quentin Blake exhibition, a time capsuke cottage and a Banksy item topping it off. There is no car park so you have to park and pay locally. My only complaint was I wanted to see more but its free entry and perhaps leaving you wanting more isnt a bad thing. There is a cafe and plenty of seating to have a drink and a bite to eat after nosing round.

Wonderful small museum with lots of information about Weston super Mare. Bright and friendly with lots to see. Don't miss Clara's cottage! Lovely cafe and shop available as well as regular exhibitions (Quentin Blakes artwork at moment). Great museum for old and young. No parking (street parking around at a cost) disabled and pushchair access and customer toilets.

Never knew this museum existed in WSM, despite visiting the area on many different occasions. Free admission and quite a few different area's to explore.
