$25 USD for adult entrance. Tours are brought through the house and studio where Bob Marley lived and worked. You visit his studios, office, and living area. There are a tonne of pictures and posters and newspaper articles everywhere. There is also a separate smaller theatre where a short film is shown. The film features some first-hand interviews with Bob, as well as contributions from his colleagues and family. Our guide (Jevi) was knowledgeable and personable. He gave us a lot of information in bite-sized chunks. Exit through the gift shop. Lots of t-shirts for sale. Photography is forbidden inside the house and theatre. But there is a lot of artwork around the property and a couple of statues of Bob in action. If you're walking or driving in independent of a tour, the ticket booth is next to the OneLove Cafe.

I loved the place, lots of information and facts about Bob Marley, seeing his home and studio was great. The bullet holes in the walls just struck home how brutal life can be, I felt privileged hearing all the stories of Bob’s life. Seeing where he had written and recorded songs that fill me with nostalgia was a brilliant experience. The one negative not enough time there, some groups too big and it felt rushed, I like to take my time to read all the information available, but the guide was knowledgeable and informative. Bit of a hike from Montego Bay but worth the long ride! No photos allowed inside the museum but you are allowed to take pics on the grounds.

We had a great time! Our tour guide was Irie Sue and she was wonderful! She was full of energy and very knowledgeable! We had our 5 month old baby with us and he started to get fussy toward the end and she was very patient and didn’t make us feel bad about it. I learned a lot and would definitely recommend you to visit!

It took us maybe about a hour to get in but we ate at the lil cafe and the food was so good. I would suggest going a lil bit earlier to eat there 1st! You won’t be disappointed 😋We could not video inside of the actual museum but it was very informative and fun! We got to record in his studio and see a lil film! Great Experience❤️💚💛

Probably the most iconic attraction in Kingston. You will have to buy a ticket and book a time for a conducted tour of the museum which used to be Bob Marley's home. The tour provided background and history of the reggae superstar and also the various rooms and their functions. Worth a visit

I learnt so much history on the Greatest of all time. Photography is not allowed inside and I can't blame them, this is something you have to experience in person. Wonderful tour of the premises. Don't worry if you are a smoker there is a little treat at the end of the tour waiting.

It was great to see the Birth place of a legend . It can be very inspiring to see his humble beginnings and to understand that 40 plus years after his passing he is still touching peoples hearts and minds all over the world.. Great people and things sometimes come from very humble beginning.. It is a must see place for any music lover..reggae or any other type of music..
