Family-friendly site opening a window onto 19th-century life in Leeds with shops, houses and an inn.
A super interesting museum that feels like you've stepped back in time. Immerse yourself in Victorian-era Leeds as you walk along the cobbled streets, peek into shop windows and walk into the school house and pub. The staff were very friendly. It's around PS7 entry for an adult.
Haven't been to Abby house since I was 10. It's very interesting we enjoyed it very much. Was given info about the connection to The Abby over the road, too. It's worth a visit..
With plenty of (free) parking over the road, Abbey House Museum is a lovely little day out. Very much aimed at children and young people, there is lots to see and things for them to get involved with. There was the 'gnome sweet gnome' event which keot little ones (and parents) and us (with no kids) entertained and looking around the exhibits. Layout could do with a bit of work (maybe more signage) but the most of the staff were friendly & helpful. The old penny games upstairs were fun and you could spend a lot of time here with kids.
I really enjoyed this museum so much so I'd like to visit again without my children so I could take in a lot more of the stuff! My kids were so excited and really enjoyed the old fashioned street as well as the penny arcade. It was quite busy when we went as it was half term but not too busy as to be a nuisance and I did expect it with it being half term. That being said I have knocked a star off as the penny arcade was quite busy with children (to be expected) who were obviously quite excited but there was a member of staff there over seeing that section of the museum and she was very rude and blunt both to me and to the children (my own and other people's children). I would visit again shame about that member of staff maybe she could do with some more training.
What an amazing place.. was fabulous for me & my husband 2 look at, explore & compare all the toys what we had when we were children .. fabulous
This museum has an amazing collection of Victorian artifacts, but even more remarkable is their staff. They were kind and so helpful, making this experience just the more memorable. I had an absolute blast on my visit. Abbey House Museum is a must go if you are in the area, 10/10.
