Leicester Museum and Art Gallery is a great museum that exceeded our expectations. Immaculately clean with beautifully curated exhibits, it offers something for everyone. The dinosaur displays immediately grabbed my attention, complete with engaging interactive stations that made learning fun. The museum also features great play areas, including a dressing-up section where you can snap photos in front of an art frame for those who like that kind of thing. Upstairs, the snake exhibit was a real highlight, complete with fun weight scales and surprise snake facts. The helpful staff enhanced the experience, and the free entry is a huge bonus. There's also a nice gift shop worth a visit. While there's no on-site parking, nearby city car parks are just a 10 minute walk. Overall A enjoyable and educating outing.

Interesting and nice museum to visit, on the small side. It seem like they do different events during some of the months which gives it new life when you visit again in future. The event thats on is about snakes which i throughly enjoyed. However there is one section of the museum you could easily miss, its in the gift shop, left side of the counter going towards the entrance of the museum. Cafe area isn't the best as it machine coffee but cheap (PS2) and has nice seats!!

Really nice museum, very clean and the exhibits are lovely. With two LO's in tow, we have to say that the rooms allow children of all ages to find something that interests them. We were automatically drawn to the dinosaurs first, and it was nice to see some interactive stations. Wasn't expecting it to be as much fun, but lots of play areas for the children. A dressing up section with an art frame to take pictures. Some very helpful staff. An amazing snake section upstairs with some scales to see how much you weigh compared to various snakes and a fabulous box section that means you get a little snake related fact or surprise. Good day, and it's free entry. Lovely little gift shop, too.

Absolutely fabulous! Me and my girlfriend went as it opened at 11 and there was no wait to get in! It is completely free as well which is amazing. We didn't spend long in the animal place as we wanted to see the art gallery. This had lots of beautiful paintings which we spend a long time admiring. We also loved the Picasso ceramics. My personal favourite part however was the dinosaur place, featuring an enormous skeleton which was 40% complete of a real dinosaur!!! It also had other smaller skeletons which were very interesting to look at. At the end we had a look in the gift shop which was very cute and we got some Grow your own cress dinosaurs!!! Overall we spend about an hour in there and we 100% recommend it!

The staff were very helpful and I found it very interesting to learn about some of the city's history as well as view the amazing art pieces . Free admission and a little cafe for a light bite or a coffee. Would highly recommend especially if you're visiting Leicester for the first time! Also, the Revolution bar is less than a 5 minute walk away, amazing place to go for a bite to eat!

Beautiful and interesting As always It's my 2nd time visiting here Nice and clean Big So many things to watch Now they have added snakes and Egypt section on 1st floor which was awesome Free parking Must visit
