It’s also owned by Roag Best, the half brother of the Beatles’ original drummer, Pete Best.

How long should I aim to spend at the Beatles Story Museum?

Most visitors spend around 1.5 hours at the Beatles Story Museum, but there’s plenty to keep you entertained for up to half a day. After visiting the on-site Fab4 Cafe and Fab4 souvenir shop, explore Albert Dock and its attractions, which are right outside.

What can you expect to see at the Beatles Story Museum?

The best-known exhibit at the Beatles Story Museum is a reproduction of the Cavern Club, set up as it was when the Beatles played there, along with recreations of Abbey Road Studios and John Lennon’s White Room. Beatles memorabilia, such as George Harrison’s first guitar, is on display too.

What nearby attractions can I visit after a trip to the Beatles Story Museum?

The Beatles Story Museum is in the Albert Dock area, well-placed for accessing other top Liverpool attractions. Take a whirl on the Wheel of Liverpool, then stroll north along the water past Tate Liverpool, the Museum of Liverpool, and the Beatles Statue at Pier Head, docking point for the Mersey Ferries.

What are people saying about The Beatles Story

The Beatles Story Experience Ticket

Karl_S, Oct 2026

Seems accurate

It's nice to be able to go at your own pace. The audio devices work well. But sometimes the segments are too long. But the clips were mostly very informative with some great sound bites. The story seems accurate with lots of interesting artifacts. But, there is a serious lack of music. Overall it's a good tour to learn the history of the band.

The Magical Mystery Tour...

The Magical Mystery Tour yellow bus ride was fantastic!!! Dealing with Viator was horrific. We showed up at the train station on time and never saw a Viator representative. We didn't receive our train tickets until a worker spent 20 minutes talking to Viator to send them to us. It was very frustrating! And Viator never apologized for the mistake!

Pretty good but hot and crowded!

Very informative and interesting for true Beatles fans. The only downside was it was pretty crowded and it was also hot inside. So much so that we left before we had seen everything.

Great day in Liverpool

Great day in Liverpool! Took the train from London. Easy 2 hour trip. Walked through Town to the docks and grabbed a bite before entering Beatles Experience. Very well done museum. Magical Mystery bus was great. Saw all the sites whilst being entertained by tour boss. Cavern Club gave you a great feel for what it is was like in the day. Finished with dinner at the club, quick walk to see the statues and then back to London. Very worthwhile experience!!

Good day sunshine😊

The train vouchers issue was very confusing so I called Viator and they sent tickets for all the activities. The tour itself was fabulous. Tony the guide was so terrific and had been in a Beatle cover band around the world. Lots of stories. Dennis the driver was a magician driving the bus in very sticky situations and was also a Musician. Great fun was had by all🤗
