Great value for money if you get a passport as you can go to all the museums... not such a good idea if you want to see most of them but dont get a passport, definitely not value for money

we love going here, pay once and visit all 9 museums as many times as you wish for 12 months. our eldest son loves Enginuity with all the science and fun learning it has to offer, the rest of us like Blists hill with its step back to vitorian times. a visit to the chemist, a beer from the pub...

Visiting the various museums and the bridge itself was a pleasant experience of industrial heritage, well maintained and thoughtfully set up. With the annual pass and the free park and ride between attractions makes this place a 'must return'.

One golden tip - if you intend to visit any of the museum attractions, then get the annual pass. Not only is it superior value for money, you can repeat visit. Even after a year, you can still go back to the places you didn't make first time round, and go in! Buy an entrance ticket as a one off?... More

A must if visiting the area, the birthplace of industry in a beautiful setting. An annual passport at £24 covers all museums with unlimited visits for 12 months compares favourably with buying individual museum tickets, and gives a reason to return. So many things to see a long weekend was not nearly enough time

This is a very well laid out exhibition and the film is well worth watching. It sets the scene for your visit around the Ironbridge area.

There is a car park right next to this museum at the top of the hill coming out of the town. It is pay and display but quite reasonable. The toilets are public toilets in the car park. The museum itself is good - quite small so it won't take you long to walk around but do make time to... More
