๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children aged 10 and up who already have a genuine interest in ancient Egypt. The artifacts are genuinely remarkable, and the exhibition moves at a pace that rewards curiosity. Younger children will find little to interact with - the format is object-and-label throughout.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กAllow extra travel time - signage from the underground station to the venue is poor
โฐAudio guides are available and cost extra - decide before you arrive
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธThe VR experience is an optional add-on and worth booking in advance if interested
๐Ÿš—Expect slow security checks at entry, including a wand search

โ€œFantastic exhibit! Beautiful artifacts and it moves quickly with enough description but not so much you get lost in it. I highly recommend buying the audio guide and the VR experience!โ€

โ€œI thought ยฃ60 for an adult and a child was incredibly expensive, and it didn't even include an audio guide. The actual items collected were impressive, but they weren't displayed with much interest, the actual exhibition centre was like a conference hangar space, there just wasn't much atmosphere, or much decoration. There were a few videos and reconstructions which were fine, just all quite basic, and really missing any kind of magic, any sense of place or wonder. I thought my nephew would love it, but there wasn't actually much of an interactive element (a video is not interactive, is it...), and he just drifted through the exhibits and didn't seem to really get much excitement from it. I'm almost inclined to give two stars because of the very high price, compared to other "big" exhibitions - ยฃ20 each would have been just about ok - but some items were really impressive, so it's on balance just about worth visiting, especially for kids who already know a lot about the era and might get more out of it.โ€
