Went here to find it closed. Only open at weekends and on bank holidays. However it is next door to Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, so we visited there instead.

The cost is £2.50 or free with a Nottingham Castle entrance ticket, and this museum is worth every penny! It's like a TARDIS in that it looks relatively small from the outside, but that is deceiving! It is huge! Well worth a mooch!

This little place is like a Tardis - you go in and think it's small but there's so much packed in there, and many more rooms than you'd imagine! Interesting place to spend an hour or so. There's a historic pub next door so great way to learn some things about Nottingham and then have a drink or spot of lunch.
Staff very friendly, and good value for the price.

Also known as the Museum of Nottingham Life this is a fantastic place to visit. Situated just outside the walls of the castle this museum was a joy to visit. Nothing spectacular in it, just things you'll remember from your childhood, your parent's childhood and probably even your grandparent's childhood. I was made to feel quite old when I realised that some of the toys I'd wanted for Christmas as a boy (many years ago) were now museum pieces, but then I saw lots of more modern things as well and didn't feel quite so old any more, If you have kids, this is a fantastic place to visit to show them what life was like before the internet and mobile phones took over the world.
