Went here with our 2 teenagers and we all loved it. Do attend the courtroom reenactment and the execution, we took part and it was great fun. Andy, the executioner was fun and informative. Highly recommend a visit to this historic museum.

We went here for our work Christmas Party, for the murder mystery event.
The event was great and the actors did an amazing job! Everyone enjoyed the plot and humour.
The food was not very good. I don't think anyone managed to stomach the mushroom pate starter! The main was a reminder of school dinners. But the dessert was lovely.
Overall, a great night out, worth going for the experience if they run something similar again!

This place is loaded with history. It reflect how things change with time. For example, people in the past had a severe punishment of being send to Australia, yet today going to Australia is favourable.

Good value for money. Some experienced and knowledgeable staff/actors who talk you through how the courts and legal system used to run. There are mock trials and hangings throughout the day.

We went as a family with a 15 year old. This is a great place. The courtroom scene was brilliantly acted and my son even got put in the dock accused off rioting! Very interesting museum with lots to explore and informative boards to read. We also got a wrist band with a number on. Later in the museum we could see which prisoner the number corresponded to and what crime we had committed!! Thoroughly engaging place for young and old and well worth the admission price. Thank you for a great afternoon!

Brilliant museum, fascinating insights and nicely brought to life with some fun role plays. If you park at the NCP on Stoney Street you can claim a discount at the museum reception. Instead of paying £22.50 parking we only paid £7.30 so well worth asking for it.

Really loved our visit here and would recommend it to anyone in town! The building itself is really well preserved, especially considering its age. The courtroom is particularly magnificent, and the original cells are also impressive. There are plenty of artifacts to demonstrate history, which is done in a thoughtful, informative and sensitive way given some of the subjects.
But the stand out is definitely the actors who totally bring it all to life in the courtroom, jail, women's wing and yard. Not only do they really make you a part of it, but they follow up with details and context.

Really informative & interactive afternoon out. Staff were friendly & knowledgeable. The stories of real people made everything more moving. We were given convict numbers & mine was a little close to the truth!! Anna Sugar, I think we would have been friends 😊

The best museum I’ve ever visited, we spent a good few hours here and the kids loved it. Every exhibition is well thought out and interesting. The actor who plays the judge/hangman is worth the visit. Will definitely be visiting again.

We visited the National Justice Museum, first impression was that it was expensive... perhaps I'm just used to wondering round free Museums?! Anyway, we thought we would give it a whirl anyway, and it kept us busy for a couple of hours. The actors probably made the experience much better, and if anything a few more doing other roles (like a prisoner) would have been nice. Kids were more engaged with the walking round the dark prison and underground bits more than anything, and I felt there could have been more handsy on type things for them to do. Probably best to do this if you have older children

We didn't know what to expect when we booked a visit (we had a designated slot). Our 8-year-old probably didn't enjoy it as much as we did, although she did chuckle during the live court session, where some of the crowd were asked to participate in a court scene that was based on true life events and prisoners.
There is a second live scene called Georgian Hanging outside in the exercise yard where the same actors are involved.
Both performances are very entertaining and well worth the visit.
There are four floors full of exhibitions and interactives and a little Café at the entrance level that
