Great museum for finding out about local history friendly staff and very kid friendly they have torches and magnifying glasses to use to help keep them entertained . Please use this place the more foot traffic it gets the better . Parking is free there is a park to play in on better days and it can be got to using public transport

A great free, museum covering a lot of local history from prehistoric to more recent. A very good collection of bird Taxidermy. The staff were really helpful and friendly and there's a nice cafe.

The experience was second to none, the history behind the donation of the property for the museum was so pathetic and motivation, it is indeed a place worth exploring

Great local museum loads of activities for kids of all ages. Full of interesting exhibits. It's rare that Kirklees can be commended for anything, but this place is excellent.

Poignant film and display about the two members of the Tolson family who died in WW1. Interesting museum about the local area and its history, set in an attractive park

Welcoming helpful staff, great historical stories to view, well laid out artifacts, photographs and models, and seating inside and out to have a hot, or cold drink with, or without a snack. Major downside, no Lift, or visible access for people with physical impairments, or wheelchair users, this is unacceptable in a public access building!

Tolson Memorial Museum is a wonderful place and is special to all the people of Huddersfield . Anyone ,whether from the area or just visiting should go, the bird room,now fully restored is a sight to see on its own,created by our very own local version of Charles Darwin,Seth Lister Mosley. Long may our Museum prosper.

Lovely place to go to break up your weekend, educationally but fun for the children. The museum is lovely and brings back my childhood memories as well.

Staff were very friendly. Exhibition was a bit formulaic. You can have, a coffee and chill downstairs. Free parking. Usual geology, fossils, stuffed birds. Not a lot of interactive stuff. Ok for a wet day. But l wouldn't waste the fuel to travel to get there.
