We paid £10 for 2 adults (children under 7 were free). A very poor dusty old 'museum'. Actually a bunch of old, very cheaply made exhibits of Tudor life. What a total rip-off. I really wanted to ask for my £10 pounds back because you can go through it in about 20 minutes (and that's reading most of the exhibits). More

I have been to The Flastaffs Experience many times on a ghost hunt and it never fails to disappoint. The minute you enter the building the hackles rise (always a good sign!). On one occasions I even saw a full manifestation of a victorian child on the ground floor! Every ghost hunter MUST do Falstaffs! Definitely the best haunted attraction... More

Dark with lots of dressed dummies. Loads of reading and not really sure what the experience was tring to achive. May have been a great place 20 years ago but outdated now and tatty. My 9 and 12 year olds were both very disapointed.............. as a cash straped parent so was I. More

We visited the museum at night for the' ghost walk'. Having paid £7.50 each we thought we were in for a scary treat - not so, the 'guide' droned on and on and on about characters who haunted the building and sightings that had happened there. There were no lights on at all just his little battery powered, characterless lantern... More

While on holiday in Stratford we went to watch Shakespeare's birthday parade and were very impressed with the actor who took the part of Shakespeare. He made the parade come alive by his interaction with the crowd. This encouraged us to go on the Shakespeare tour; led by this young man who was acting as Shakespeare. The tour is 'very... More

A superb, entertaining and imformative tour with Shakespeare, in person. Why has this not been done before and well done to The Falstaff Experience for instigating it. It was Shakespeare himself with a beard and bald patch. In the Birthday Parade he and Queen Elizabeth 1 were the only ones who interacted with the crowds. More

An amazing tour of Stratford-upon-Avon with "Shakespeare" in person. The guide was exceptionally talented, informative, amusing and witty. I learned so much about Shakespeare that I didn't know. More

Weren't sure what to expect when we went in, but kids were treated to a short presentation of Tudor crime and punishment.Yes, the museum was a little rundown, with no glitzy special effects,but did offer a valuable insight into Tudor life in Stratford with little tableaux and good factual wall displays.We all thought that the value for money was excellent...

The Shakespeare sites attract the literati, Edward Moon's soaks up the glitterati and I guess this place hoovers up what is left. It is the succinct low-brow response to the high culture around the corner. I would love it if they didn't charge a hard earned fiver for this nonsense. Its basically a timber framed building, Shrieves House filling a... More
