Visitor’s reviews Booking online did not make a difference
to the queues on a school holiday day. We
stood more than an hour outside, along with all the other VIP ticket holders, lucky it wasn't raining. Was fantastic once we were in though.

Visitor’s reviews A great experience. I went late on
a Sunday afternoon where it was not too busy
and could enjoy the whole tour. Well worth the money. Best to bring a friend along to assist in taking many photos!

Visitor’s reviews Don't go when kids are on holidays..
Don't go of a weekend.. Don't go in summer..
Don't expect to sit down.. Don't think you will get chance to see much.. Your packed in like sardines. It's all about getting your money.. And sorry to say most people have no decorum or manners and push... Never ever again..

Visitor’s reviews You can spend hours and hours here.
Try to enter as soon as the place opens.
If a photo-phobic like me can end up overloading camera with pics, guess what you can do here and how much time you can spend!! Try the 'Spirit of London Ride'. This ride is the reason I've given 5*. You can also enjoy the 'Marvel Heroes' here - if you are marvel comics fan.

Visitor’s reviews This is one of a kind attraction.
Lines are always long. I visited the museum on
a Saturday in March and waited 45 minutes although I had prepaid tickets. Buy the tickets in advance many retailers can sell tickets without time slots so you don't feel stressed out. Most of the dolls seem very real kinda scary :-). I really enjoyed it.
