ABERDEEN MARITIME MUSEUM REVIEWS

Great place for people who are interested in the history of maritime in Aberdeen. There are a fair display of ships and their history. It is really interesting to see the evolution of ships from the past to present. The key highlight for me was the dimensions of the oil rig. I was always curious how big it was, and am extremely amazed at how gigantic it was! Best part of it all, the entrance is free! So do not hesitate to come down to quench your curiosity about Maritime in Aberdeen!

It was a great fun, lots of models. Exhibitions are very interesting with detailed descriptions. Entry is free you can donate as much as you like or buy something in gift shop to support museum. Only downside is there is no cafe but there is plenty all around in Aberdeen. Would recommend to stop and have a look. It gives lots of background of Aberdeen.

Lovely museum, not very big but has a lot to show. There are areas where visitors can watch different educational videos. The museum is free, but they are open for money donations. I would say we spent there at most an hour.

THE GORDON HIGHLANDERS MUSEUM REVIEWS

Cannot recommend it highly enough. What an incredibly warm welcome, which continued, (I also quickly visited the cafe, where i had a tasty but generous slice of cake) I met some museum managers as I explored, we chatted about the events and history, was even offered a Christmas chocolate by staff as I left. Lots of history, but the visit made by the people. The museum used the last few years wisely, the presentation of the galleries is great, easy to read interpretation, with clear font, graphics and nicely laid out cabinets. It feels updated and modern, yet has lots on display to appeal to history lovers. Also great if you like swords and silverware.

Can’t speak highly enough of the entire experience at the Gordon Highlanders Museum. We were in Aberdeen on Thursday past and booked the tickets first thing which was wise as it is very popular. Ample parking and a beautiful building and grounds. The exhibition with the audio tour is excellent and has some fantastic exhibits, coupled with the staff who couldn’t be more helpful or knowledgable. We have two teenage boys (13 + 16), who thoroughly enjoyed it which says a lot in an age of phones and iPads :) If you’re going to Aberdeen don’t miss it

What a great place to wander around the exhibition with friends and knowledgeable staff around to assist, if it's good weather get a coffee and enjoy the very well maintained garden.

ABERDEEN SCIENCE CENTRE REVIEWS

Enjoyed our visit here. The prices are good for children and adults. The museum is interesting for both kids and adults. There is plenty to see and read. There are multiple activities and almost the whole museum is interactive. Sadly two machines were broken which looked quite interesting but it didn’t ruin the day. They have a cafe with a good choice of food and drinks. Additionally there is an outside area where children can play. The museum isn’t the largest but we spent about 2-3 hours there because of us wanting to try everything and read about everything.

It’s the best science centre ever. Each facility here involves some area of scientific knowledge, yet it is easy to understand and is complemented by games, making it excellent for children's scientific enlightenment. Each game section is cleverly designed, and the facilities are highly technological, especially the robots. Additionally, there are occasional science group activities for popular science education. It's fantastic! This place is worth visiting many times.

Great museum for youngsters. Set over 2 floors it has various themes to keep you and your children entertained for a couple of hours.
