doctor who experience cardiff bay

Even for a non-Who'vian like myself I found this really good and engaging. It was a step back to my childhood and hiding behind the settee watching Dr Who (John Pertwee times).It really is worth the cost of admission. The effects are good .... and not too cheesy.

The perfect place to head to if you're a Whovian. I myself am I fan of the new series starting with the 9th doctor. The museum/experience is easy to find and reasonably priced. The tour starts with an interactive experience that takes you through your own Dr Who experience. I think it's geared more for younger fans but even as a college student I still enjoyed it. The museum itself has a lot of costumes and props from the show. I was surprised to see they keep it very current as they even had stuff from the Series 8 Christmas special. I visited with my father who does not watch the show, be also seemed to enjoy the museum. Most items had informative descriptions. The only complaints I had about the museum was a shortage on "behind the scenes". Highly recommend it for any Whovian.

Well worth the money, easy to reach via bus as they stop right outside. The first half is interactive which i hadn't realised, but made it even more fun! I would recommend it to all!

Can't fault anything about the whole experience, so professional in the way the experience part of the exhibition was put together, the guides where all helpful and friendly in the museum section.The time lord curator was a legend,he really bought you into the whole story and made it believable, totally awesome :)

Our visit to this attraction was for my Granddaughter who is a keen fan. We had difficulty in finding it as there were no brown signs anywhere! The car parks were a little way from the building which would have been ok if we did not have a disabled person in our party, there was no disabled parking near the building. The lady on the reception couldn't have cared less about any of our comments ! The staff member who was starting off the tour was excellent and did make us feel welcome, the lad who was taking us through the first part of the journey tried hard but was either new or hadn't quite got the skills needed to guide the public through. The exhibition was ok with artefacts from the years although after so many years I would have thought it could have been much better, having said that my Granddaughter did enjoy it and the costumes were interesting. Having visited Harry Potter Studios, Dr Who was a very poor experience, we would not recommend it.

I for one love dr who but this attraction has shown me things I have never seen before. With a brilliant starter with helping the doctor, you move in to the main hall. You can see the legit costumes and everything you want to see. After you have spent your time wondering around all the diffrent dimensions, you exit into the shop. The shop has many products ranging from games to sonic screwdrivers. Even if you don't like dr who, it still is a must see. At entrance, there is a brilliantly made life size Lego Dalek

Takes about 1 hr - walk through with sound effects, visual and auditory,with a guide, great models (can't say dont want to spoil it) then an enormous 2 floors of artefacts from the years gone by.Great for Who fans, too scarey for little kids.Take a jumper - it is cold!

I recently visited the Dr Who experience in Cardiff Bay and I was bitterly disappointed. Poor value for money, the museum had very limited memorabilia, considering the length of time the TV series has been around there were very little artefacts to view. Would not recommend this attraction.

My boyfriend and I are big Doctor Who fans. I'd been here once before back in the summer and decided to take him here as a surprise.We loved every minute of it and as it had been update to Calpadi's Doctor, some of it was new to me too.The thing I loved most this time round was that it was more interactive, there were more opportunities for the visitors to take part and the curator who showed as round did a brilliant job!My boyfriend thought the exhibition would be mostly the new stuff however, the exhibition features a lot of the old stuff as well. This appealed to both of as I'm more of a New Who fan where as he's more into Classic Who. He was impressed at the number of original props and costumes that were a part of the exhibition. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend to Doctor Who fans of any age.

As in my title the experience was excellent, having viewed the show since it first aired (allthose year's ago) we have been fans.We did'nt let the dalek's intimidate us! but was great to see the costume's and read articles about filming ect.Would recommend this attraction to all ages.

Wasn't expecting this to be so good. Plenty for the Dr Who fans but plenty for me too! Taking part in the adventure was great fun (even if you're over 12 years old)

I took my husband to the Dr who experience, I have to say I was a bit unsure what to expect not being a Dr who fan myself I didn't think I would enjoy it. Wrong... The interactive adventure was lots of fun, I could see this really appealing to children, (and big children, as in the case of my husband) the dramatisation the staff gave was fantastic. The memorabilia and props from the shows 50 odd years production was definitely worth the look, all that history in one room was amazing. The admission price for what you got was not fantastic but I've paid more for attractions and got less. My husband thought it was well worth it, must be a Dr who thing.

The 'Dr Who Experience' is really good and interactive as well. Worth the money on its own. The exhibition of Daleks, costumes and Tardi - fantastic.

Came up from brighton to visit the experience.Well worth the visit! First part which is interactive is more suited for kids but the big kids will still love it! The actual exhibition of props and memorabilia is amazing! 50 years of Dr who in one room, models, clothes, daleks,tardis, and so much more. A very reasonable entrance fee too for all that you see, and then the shop at the end.......you can spend a fortune but there is some nice pieces that won't break the bank!
