Worth a visit for the nostalgia value, but the museum has really seen better days. IMAX is expensive . Regular activity days for kids during school holidays.

Paul Smith

A must see place to visit exhibitions are always changing home to IMAX and the Cubby Broccoli Cinema . Pictureville can be found next door

Alex Hughes

Some of this is very basic and other parts are very interesting but you can get through all five floors in about an hour. The cafe sells very tasty food too.

Paul

Great free museum , lots to keep kids and adults entertained for a few hours. The cafe is fantastic too.

Stuart Law

Great place to visit. I especially lived the retro gaming section. See if you can beat my time on Mario Kart (Donkey King Jr on Ghost Valley 1).

Franzi Florack

The flatbreads are delicious. Try the one with goat 's cheese and cherry tomatoes !

Lee Kerr

Brilliant place known to most locals as the Telly Museum . Cafe 's a bit steep but the book/gift shop is great and the exhibitions are excellent

Carl Griffin

Some of the exhibits bring back floods of nostalgia .

Nic Cooper

An excellent way to spend 4 hours. Lots of things to interest everybody. It's free too. Go!

Ajay Jacob Abraham

Take a trip down videogame walk of fame. Everything from pong, space invaders, doom, to gears of war are all here for you to rediscover!

Joanne Brady

The gaming room and the TV experience gallery are fantastic

Franzi Florack

Visit the world's first single lens moving image camera ! Did you know the first film was made in Leeds?

Jigna Patel

This place is amazing. It doesn't get enough credit in my opinion.

Worth a visit if you're into photography . Def check out the Insight Gallery (appointment only) for a fab collection of old gadgets...it also has an IMAX :)

Check out the New Media collection preserving some of the best blasts from gaming past - remember the NES and the Mega Drive?

Fun day with my baby girl

Tim Purcell

Check out the news presenter section - its good fun.

Glenn Pegden

If you let them know at the bar , they'll give you a non-glass container for your beer , to allow you to take it into the cinema itself

David McNeill

Disappointed by the much-hyped IMAX screen. Anyone over 5'5" will find the seating really uncomfortable! I saw Interstellar here and was left with a really sore neck :-(

Tom Woolley

The Games Lounge in the Museum foyer is a whole load of retro gaming fun!

Glenn Pegden

Arrive early and make use of the small but well stocked bar , hidden at the far end of the ground floor

Richard Fowler

Go to the TV Heaven section and watch some of the classic TV

Ben Drury

Great free day out. Read more
