Reviews of Bolton Museum, Aquarium and Archive
"Went with my children on a Sunday and had a great time. Aquarium was interesting. The museum is small but dense and the building it sits in is impressive. Some very interesting exhibits and interactive installations for the kids. Would definitely go again. Parking was free (Sunday only). Watch out for attendants though and follow the rules(park in bays etc)Didn't cost us a penny the whole day."
"A very nice museum where you can look at the art and history of Bolton. The Egyptian history is also a highlight in this museum It is free of charge and the staff are nice and helpful"
"This is a relatively small museum set over three floors. The attractive displays are well lit and information is succinct and mostly easy to read. The history of Bolton is well illustrated but the highlight of the museum is the Egyptian gallery. There is a wealth of artifacts and the recreation of the inside of a pharaoh's tomb is impressive. The aquarium is small but several of the species cared for are endangered. It was pleasing to see the success that the museum's breeding programme has had. Allow about 90 minutes for a visit. My only word of warning is that young children quickly realise that the upper gallery has a good echo. A pair of earplugs may help!"
"Took my 4 children. Some areas of the wildlife area where closed when we visited, however don't let that stop you. Great aquarium. Lots to learn in this museum from art and Bolton history to Egyptian Era which was brill! Highly recommend for a free, great day especially with the kids! 5****"
