  Interesting visit to a place I'd never even heard of. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Free tea and biscuits certainly helped!

  was a let down. I am surprised it has had such good reviews TBH. No atmosphere. Nothing interactive. Could be vastly improved on. Basically it was rooms with props and info on wall boards. No-one there to give you more info other than the girl on entrance desk. First room didn't even know what it was for. Basic things that wouldn't cost much like using an empty wall to portray a timeline, an empty floor to show a large scale map, projectors showing more clips, the videos being edited to have info captions (for example we watched one with a speech but weren't told who it was giving speech, and a funeral that didn't say where or when it happened) interactive stuff for younger generations to enjoy (like Morse code) more clips over loudspeakers to add atmosphere. Doesn't need to be expensive technical stuff like bigger museums have. But for what they charge I expected a lot more. I have paid less at other sites that have actors playing roles relevant to the site (it was a stately home used as a hospital during war), staff on hand to answer any questions, 'fake' versions of historical objects so kids can touch as well as look, and an all round better atmosphere. This in comparison was very disappointing. I will stick to the world museum in future. Much more interesting.

  Great for children who have the chance to become war time code breakers. Fascinating bit of war time history. This operations centre played a hugely important rule in developing strategy, especially in the Battle of the Atlantic.

  I visited here on 2016 and enjoyed the visit. We met a gentleman who gave us a guided tour and he made the visit very interesting. The museum must have been one of the most important buildings during the war as it controlled the convoys into Liverpool with vital supplies and food. They could do with more help from Liverpool council to keep this building and its history for future generations to understand the work carried out here that helped the war effort.

  Amazing hidden gem in the heart of Liverpool. This extensive underground complex (only a small part is open to the public) was the headquarters of the Royal Navy and RAF's Atlantic operations during World War 2 and has just recently been opened up to visitors on a permanent basis. Huge maps on the walls, old typewriters and phones, recreations of street scenes, it's all here and is absolutely fascinating. Currently they receive no funding at all other than what they take in admissions, which seems incredible, so pay a visit, spend an enjoyable hour or two in a formerly top-secret command post which was pivotal to the Allied victory and help to keep the place running!
