Torquay Museum

Visited for the first time today. We are local so wanted something near by as it was rainy Saturday. We were very pleasantly surprised. What a wonderful museum, very interesting, and so many things added to make it more fun for kids! Our kids who are 5 and 12 love it! And the bonus of return ticket is 👌! We will be back!

Not the biggest museum but does have lots of artefacts of Torquay famous residence. Agatha Christie and Frank Browning’s ‘Antarctic Adventure. His penguin is in this museum. This is Ideally for youngsters who would find historical information interesting. Worth going if you have time.

Enjoyed a couple of hours here with the kids, a short walk from our accommodation. Ticket lasts a year so you can go back any time. Some fun interactive displays and hugely entertaining for me was the Agatha Christie area. Huge fan of her work and was great to see the Poirot and Miss Marple costumes on display! Well worth the £25 entry fee for the 5 of us. Staff and volunteers were really friendly and helpful.

Great little museum with Agatha Christie section too. So much to see, very interactive for young people. Little cafe area, only sells tea, coffee and crisps/chocolate/small packets of biscuits, but you are allowed to bring your own food and use the space. Very friendly volunteers.

Just a few minutes walk from the marina in Torquay, unfortunately up hill is a museum of Torquay, incorporating 3 floors of exhibits with some being interactive. Ice age to Agatha Chrisie. A good visit if running out of things to do. Gift shop, tiolets and cafe on site. As always best to walk there as parking not easy. Adult £10 entry. Bus from Paignton £3 adult single.

If you are a big Agatha Christie fan, this is not to be missed. Sets from the TV shows are there. Lots of things to do with little explorers.. I was disappointed there was not more in the history of Torquay.. The museum is more of an educational center for children or for fans of Agatha. Christie. I was hoping for more on boats, shipping, agriculture, other famous people. You can tell there has been a lot of work put into this Museum is worth going to, just wish there was more to it.

Wonderful afternoon at the museum really lovely staff and the kids loved the explorer packs for each child , lovely little toys and challenges to interact with . All 3 children really enjoyed there few hours there and you can return for upto 12 months free with one admission and they do blue light discount. Very good price and thanks to reviews we found , we all had a great afternoon.

Good and informative displays. Loved the "I grew up in the 90s" display, took me back. Learned something new. Staff member I dealt with at the till was very pleasant. Only downside is it's quite small. The fact your ticket lasts for a whole year is great
