The museum staff were well organised and met the coach straight away. The guides were very helpful and informative and the parts of the site they showed us were relevant to the learning experience we required. The lunch facilities were adequate. The timings of the day worked well and the sessions in the Victorian school and the rag rug making were excellent. I would recommend this as an educational visit again for Year 5 (April 2022 - Primary School)

(April 2022 - Primary School)

Excellent day out. The children learned a lot from the experience and from talking to the members of staff at various places in the museum. (April 2022 - Primary School)

Children enjoyed the day and asked many questions to support their understanding of the BCM (December 2021 - Primary School)

A really good visit, made even better by the guides that showed us around the site. A lot of investment is currently taking place at the museum, which will guarantee our return in the future. (November 2021 - Primary School)

(October 2021 - Primary School)

Well organised. Group leaders were helpful and knowledgeable. Children learned a lot about the Black Country in the past. Demonstrators (in houses) very year 1 appropriate. Some group leaders were better than others at ensuring they pitched their talk at the correct level for year 1 children. Booking process very difficult and very unaccommodating. (October 2021 - Primary School)

Great venue, especially for photography students. Friendly staff who made the visit easy to organise. (October 2021 - Secondary School)

Staff very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. (October 2021 - Primary School)

Lots of building work taking place this year and the booked sessions were short and unfortunately children didn't get much out of them (October 2021 - Primary School)

(July 2021 - Secondary School)

A fantastic trip and day out. Staff were excellent and the establishment was organised effectively in line with COVID safety. The children enjoyed the visit and there was lots learning opportunities throughout the day. For organisation, the children would have benefitted from smaller groups (7/8 chn) rather than 15 as getting them into shops etc was a squeeze but consideration would need to be considered for staff ticket costs. (July 2021 - Primary School)

Always enjoyable, tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and the setting is very eye-opening! (February 2020 - Secondary School)

An excellent venue. A large heated room was used for our toy workshop which provided plenty of space for the children to explore the toys. The guides were experienced in talking to young children. (January 2020 - Primary School)

Brilliant trip (January 2020 - Primary School)

Communication with school (or lack of) meant we arrived at the trip without a designated guide. We were then told that KS1 and KS3 were provided with a guide but KS2 had to book it at an additional cost. (April 2019 - Primary School)
