Excellent visit and would highly recommend.
The free guide around the site was fantastic, very informative and taken by a volunteer guide who was extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to answer any questions you may have. It was also a place that will make you think and appreciate all the sacrifices made by that generation for us today.
I would also like to mention how reasonably priced the visit was. A very small entrance fee for parking and an optional exhibition which you would need to pay separately for.
The cafe was excellent as well. Lovely food again reasonably priced, and a small but good quality
Was really a wonderful place where they've spent years fighting to get it and clearly spent a long time bringing it up to such a great standard. Took heaps of photo's for £5. The personal audio devices were most informative and interesting giving you as mich time as you want between each one. Really enjoyed it and very well worth a visit. Tons to see and a lovely small cafe at the end too!
Situated on the outskirts of Lincoln, with good views of the Cathedral and Castle, with friendly staff/volunteers who take such pride in their work. The River of Remembrance, the Spire, and Walls of Names testament to lives lost. So sad, but calm and peaceful. The indoor exhibitions are wonderful, evocative, and well thought out. Plenty of seating indoors and out, and of course a pleasant cafe, with ration boxes on sale for children. Well stocked shop too. All in all, a visit to be remembered.
We had a fabulous day here. The centre has been thoughtfully designed and the information is creatively presented. I would highly recommend the 45 minute guided tour led by very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers.
There is a £3 parking charge and a reasonable charge for the exhibition but everything else is free- including access to the grounds.
The cafe is well worth a visit too. We both enjoyed our meals.
What a beautiful, tasteful, informative memorial center. You've done the men & women proud! Parking is paid for at reception, you give your reg, pay & you're done. Simple. There is no charge for entry to the cafe & gardens. The cafe offers a good aray of food & beverages and the food is very nice & the staff are friendly. The gardens are a beautifully peaceful place for reflection, or to perhaps find a relative as my friend did. The staff printed off his late uncle's war records and guided him where to find his uncle's name. He placed a poppy next to it & it was rather emotional. The view across to the cathedral is quite something. It makes for the perfect location of this center. Inside, should you choose to pay, you will be guided through the incredible exhibition, where there are films to watch, phone calls to listen to & much to read and look at. Take your time and soak it all up! This special place is a must on your to do list if you visit Lincoln. I can't speak highly enough of what they've done (and even if I could, I wouldn't be able to get the words out as I've a lump in my throat just thinking about it)
