15th-century building with displays of local history, painting, decorative art and freshwater fish.
Excellent museum library & aquarium! It's also free entry! Plenty to see, very well kept, plenty of toilets and facilities are clean. Little cafe too, I took 3 kids all varying in ages (2, 4 & 9) and they all enjoyed it ! Something for everyone, never knew bolton had such a good museum, perfect trip for the summer holidays and a rainy day.
Absolutely fantastic museum & aquarium with fresh and tropical fish. Well worth a visit if you're local or visiting the area. A super little gem and free to enter, do please give a little donation to help keep this place running and of course visit the cafe down stairs too! Lovely coffee and cake!
I visited here with my kids for the first time today. Very fun and the kids had a great time. I really enjoyed learning about the people and place of Bolton. I also really enjoyed the information about Egypt. There is a little cafe to get some snacks and have a sit down after wandering around. There is also a really nice library. Being free makes it a great place for a day out and a way to keep costs down.
This is quite a good museum and I was impressed as I didn't expect what was there plus it's free! There is also a small aquarium but i think the aquarium should be redone as some of the tanks where quite small for some of the fish and they looked a bit old and dated, would probably give it 5 stars if the aquarium was redone. There is nearby parking if you have a search on maps and some are quite reasonably priced. The museum is worth a visit.
Great museum with some excellent exhibits. Doesn't take long to walk around and there is a lift if you don't fancy stairs.
We visited for the first time and it was lovely. My main concern when going somewhere new is accessibility as i am disabled, and this museum was perfect, easy to access all floors. It was very clean and well maintained and the staff were friendly.
