Just a handful of comments from our Message in a Bottle this summer
I love the Beacon 10 out of 10. The dinosaurs were cool.
The lady who helped with my husband in a wheelchair was polite really helpful informative and considerate. Thank you.
The museum was nice with all the different things to see and do. Thank you for creating this museum. It was very exciting.
I love the view from the 4th floor and how interactive it all is
The second time I’ve went and its even better
Had a lot of fun for my age (DOB 10/4/1945, age 67)
2nd trip in 6 months, all the way from Chester. Boys aged 5 and 4 love it! Parents think the café is great too. No doubt we will be back!
One of the best exhibitions I have ever seen. Lots of interactives, things to read, pull and smell. I hardly noticed the dinosaurs! Very friendly staff. Well done – keep up the good work! (The Gartons family, Nottingham)
I am local but never been before. Brought my grandson to the dinosaur exhibit. Brilliant. Will come again
The man at reception was very nice and helpful. Promote him (he was Scottish)
Great fun and educational too. Well done. (Haddicks family from Annan, Scotland)
Once in a lifetime opportunity. Best day of my life
Great interactive museum, very fair admission price
I only came to see the dinosaur exhibit and didn’t realise how good the normal history exhibit was here and I live local! Thank you for this experience (Michelle Hodgson, Silloth)
Have lived in Whitehaven for 4 years and have never before visited Beacon to look around. I am glad I did today. I am impressed and would be happy to bring along visitors (T Goodwin, Hensingham)
