black country living museum

9月的一个周六来此参观,天气晴朗。这里有很多非常棒的景点。学校、大厅,还有停着各式车的车库。这里有酒吧、商店、蛋糕店和糖果店,非常值得一看!价钱很便宜,如果幸运的话还可以得到免费参观一年的惊喜。唯一的缺点是我觉得这里的员工有点少。我上次来的时候员工肯定比这回多,这点令人很遗憾。

上学的时候就和其他小朋友来过这里好几次了,刚开始的时候会感觉很兴奋,但是过一会儿就会感觉单调了。当然这里还是值得一来的,最好找个天晴的日子,雨天实在是很无趣。

在这里他们一年中会多次举行不同场合不同主题的盛大活动,这的服务员非常热情友善,他们非常欢乐地与我们交谈聊天,和我们分享关于旧时过去的故事。这的当地老百姓都非常有趣幽默,在这还能吃到非常给力的炸鱼薯条,这的所有美食都是按照过去旧时的传统烹饪手法精心烹调制成的,这的酒吧小酒馆都是过去的样子,还有过道和门道都是复古的样子。这周边有许多可以欣赏的好去处,还有许多时尚精美的糖果店和蛋糕店,可以细细游览这附近的老式长廊和房屋,还有许多交通博物馆,还有许多开阔大型的空旷空间。我们昨天在酒吧后面的野餐桌子和嘉年华隧道非常给力。如果碰巧赶上一些节假日那么或许你可以省下第二次入场的门票钱。这里真是非常适合全家人一起出行的好地方。不过一定要注意晚上活动的停车空间,那里的停车都是免费的。

今天 (12-10-12)我去了这座博物馆,老实说玩得非常高兴。员工很热情,布置非常棒,虽然门票有点贵,但并非难以接受。

We spent 6 hours at the museum and still didn't have time to visit all of the exhibitions. Good job the ticket is valid for 12months, we will go back in the summer.The buildings and contents are very realistic, especially the contents.It is very surprising how many items you recognise.It is a surprise to learn how people use to live and exist and more so how shorter a time ago it was.Lots to to learn and photograph but take the time to chat with the staff, they know a lot of history about the buildings and families who used to live there.

Parking is £3,which wasn't stated on the website.quite a lot of walking,be prepared.2 buses were running and a van(you could just jump on them)you can visit the mine and go in a side all the houses,school,church and real life pub(with saw dust)for a pint.we had chips from the chippie,sweets from the sweet shop,as well as a bakery.I prefer bliss hill as you can buy things with the old pennies.make sure you download a 2 for 1 voucher.best to go in warmer months

We have visited half a dozen times previously and never tire of it. When we have friends stay we usually bring them here and we've never heard anything but praise. Once you've paid to go in you can reuse the entrance tickets for a year.

First time and will be back when a little warmer. Love the characters at the museum who chat about the period and very knowledgeable. The trip down the mine was well worth it and gives you an insight as to what life would have been like.

We visited on an overcast Thursday in March. Overall this was a pleasant afternoon out for anyone interested in social history. The village scenes, period costumes and interactive exhibits were informative and engaging. We had a trip down the mine and banged our heads more than once! It was an eye opener as to what working life was like down a pit. The fish and chips purchased in the village were excellent although a little pricey.A few observations which I feel the management should at least consider:1). Car Park - It costs £3 to exit the car park!! Although I have since noticed this is mentioned on the website, on arrival this charge came as a surprise and left a somewhat bitter taste in the mouth. The museum is located in an out-of-town industrial area. The only feasible means of transport for the vast majority of people is the car. If the purpose of the charge is to prevent those not visiting the museum from parking there, it would be quite simple to devise a system (as many supermarkets do) to present your museum ticket when exiting. If the revenue generated through the car park is so essential, then perhaps the entry fee itself should be changed to incorporate that. The £3 cost itself is perhaps not the issue (if adults can afford to pay £16.50 each to get in, then £3 will not break the bank) but it's the way visitors are penalised before they have even entered the attraction, which is the only reason they are parking there in the first place. Much like NHS hospitals, it soured the start of our visit. 2). School children - yes to be expected, it is an educational site after all and no doubt a valuable income stream for the museum. But the numbers on our visit were a little overwhelming at times. I counted ten different coaches in the car park. When walking around the village there was a lot of screaming and running around which detracted a little from our enjoyment of the site. The queue at the village chip shop was about 40 people deep at lunchtime, almost 99% school children.3). Tramway/trolley bus - not working on our visit which was a little disappointing. There was an old red double decker running but it was very sporadic and I couldn't see a notice of what times it was running so consequently didn't get to travel on it. The local garage was also closed, as was much of the fairground. Perhaps offer a discount on entry when major exhibits are out of use?4). Canal boat - paying to ride - why? The cost of entry is already £16.50 per visit. 5). Space utilisation - large areas of the site appeared to be underused. Definitely potential for more exhibits/attractions. 6). Guides - once you purchase your ticket in the main lobby, you go through a door onto the site. You are given a map and then somewhat left to your own devices as to what is located where and what you can do. The queue at the ticket counter prevented any protracted conversation as to what was running and what times we should visit certain exhibits. Perhaps a welcome host or two located on the path down into the site would be beneficial so that visitors get the most out of their visit.

One of my favourite places to visit in the black country. Great to experience the everyday life of people from time gone by. There's lots to see and do from transport, a walk round a mine ( i don't really like this but lots do), a fair, chain and glass makers a variety of shops (some that you can buy from ) music hall, school, canal boat rides, a pub, you get the idea. They also do themed evening events which are really good shame they didn't last a bit longer only about 4 hours but still good the Christmas ones brilliant with plays in the music hall and carol services. Theres proper black country food just check which chip shop you use as one isnt so that vegetarians can use it , the traditional is the best not to healthy but once in a while won't hurt and all part of the experience. If you go online you can usually get a 2 for 1 ticket otherwise it will cost you about £16 each. Give it a go I never get board of going if you look online they advertise the different events they are going to do if you want to participate in such as transport, victorians, 1940's.

The children had a brilliant time, they loved exploring and going into the mine. The 1hour wait in the line for fish and chips (cooked in beef fat) were worth it.

Took husband to show him what the black country was like. Some large areas not used to full potential. Staff friendly. Pub interesting. Tea room offers good choice. Fish and chips lovely

The only thing to dislike is the queue for the chip shop. Black Country Museum is an interesting day out for people of all ages. I took the in-laws who had visited from 'down South' and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't miss out on their traditional bonfire night special event and Christmas themed evenings, fabulous. A Black Country gem.

Three generations enjoyed day out in the sunshine. Lovely staff bringing the buildings to life and sharing their knowledge. The children really enjoyed playing with the old toys in the street, the bus ride, the old cars and the giant Bourbon biscuits from the bakery. Lots to see, lovely to just wander about and a bonus to have the canal trips next door!

The Black Country Living Museum was one of the pioneers in this type of venue. It has grown extensively over the years. It features a typical Black Country village built around the Dudley Canal with various amenities including to Fish & Chip Shops and Pub where purchases can be made. Informative, costumed Guides are stationed in various locations and there are many working demonstrations such as Chain Making, Glass engraving, Breadmaking etc.It shows how the Black Country was the workshop of the world. Access to the Dudley Canal Tunnel Trip is extra.
