Loved the museum and so did the kids. Wonderfully laid out and offers something for both the adults as well as the kids. Parking nearby is possible but it's a nightmare. Entry prices are great and really reasonable with £10 for a family with 2 adults and 3 children. Lots to see and there are interactive computer screens available for the kids and the adults.

There is a dress up at the end and a gift shop as well so you will have a great time exploring the interesting history of the soldiers if Gloucestershire and their noble and varied history

Fantastic museum, good value for a family ticket. Children enjoyed the following their trail through the museum and collecting stickers. Excellent exhibitions, and knowledgeable volunteers. Highly recommend

A very warm welcome, with knowledgeable staff (volunteers). Ken and Bill told us some stories that were easy to listen to. Great value for the price. Leave yourself about an hour and a half to see everything. Cannot recommend it enough.

We had a fantastic visit to this museum. Parking is well signposted ( Gloucester Quays) and is a few minutes walk. The staff at the museum were friendly and it is a well laid out and informative experience. There’s a good mix of personal anecdotes with the bigger picture. There’s a fun dressing up section too, I never realised how heavy modern body armour was! Good fun and great value.

Didn't actually go into the museum and only had a coffee and shopped at the gift store. Just in that small area we were enthused so we will go back. Park in the historic docks pay and display carpark and walk 200m to the northern end of the docks.

This small museum is a heart-felt homage for all Gloucestershire soldiers in the past 250 years. The museum’s commendable curators have done their best with evidently limited resources. The museum’s historiography is devoid of woke ideology –something to be truly appreciated nowadays. A recommendable place only to those who are attracted to war history and other military issues.

A real gem. Tucked away on the quiet side of the Quays is this museum dedicated the Gloucestershire Regiment and their activities.

A lot of detail is packed into a very small space so it's worth budgeting at least an hour to go round an soak up the exhibits.

The feel of what it was like to be in a WW1 trench was particularly emotive.

Kids get an opportunity to dress up in military uniforms too.

Shop is small but we stocked. Staff are lovely and genuinely passionate about their work.
