I adore this children's literature-themed place very much. The first floor is the bookshop and a big cafe. The second to fourth floors are galleries for presenting different authors’ artworks. It was very nice to see how many cute hand drawings and decor they demonstrated. I like how they designed some places for kids to hide and play. Also, they have giant toys displayed on two floors which are based on the characters from children’s books. It is such an amazing combo of a bookshop and galleries to go to, especially for kids with their families.

My family and I really loved our first visit to Seven Stories. I had initially read some of the more negative reviews before visiting which made me a little unsure of what to expect, but I needn't have worried. It was a fantastic space for our 3 year old and 16 month old to enjoy. There were some great interactive activities for them on one of the floors - such as dressing up boxes, a story cave and shadow puppets - and although the other floors may not have been quite as engaging, they loved the sheer space of the place to run around in as well as features like the bean bags. We didn't eat in the café but it looked like a really nice space to have lunch in and the bookshop had some lovely looking books. It felt like great value considering it was free and we're excited to go back time and time again to see what future exhibitions have to offer.

Came here on the shaun the sheep trail. I was embarrassed to say that I didn't know that this place existed. I'm really impressed by it. Definitely will be coming back

Good museum, lots for kids to see. Cafe is poorly run, with little management of orders (bar time of ordering) and cutlery was brought to the table unclean.

Really enjoyed the story time bit. The story teller was enthusiastic as the kids were very engaged. The cafe was good as well.

We visited today from Lancashire with our 18m old and 5yr old. We had a great time! Parking on street nearby is 60p for an hour which we thought was a bargain compared to Manchester or Liverpool. 7stories has 7 floors, 2 are for corporate/parties etc so there's 5 floors to visit. Plenty to see and do. One floor was a play area for children that was 'A tiger comes to tea themed'. There was a horrible histories theme on one level and on another exhibition about different types of stories with shadow puppet play & dress up stations. We stopped in the cafe/shop before we left and had hot drinks. My 5yr old had the butterbeer milkshake which he loved. They had oat milk for dairy free drinks. The babychino was massive! The book shop and cafe are beautifully merchandised. We'd happily visit again, my son asked to come back and didn't want to leave.

It’s got zero passion or soul. I took my daughters here and they were so bored. What exactly is their to do here other than stare at drawings on a wall? The exhibitions are so amateur and lame, the food is a disaster and the staff can’t even make a coffee or hotdog because they hire students with zero training. Not going back

Good children's museum, Free entry and exhibits with paid events (story time/ crafts). Well cared for facilities and kept fresh. Cafe food is good if a little over priced for what you get (consider that the admission price).

Amazing centre for children's literature, stories and informative exhibitions. Cafe, toilets, baby change and bookshop on site. Cafe and bookshop free admission. Very well presented and ideal due families and younger children. Full of attractive, well designed themed exhibitions on children's literature which regularly change. Would recommend, ideal for 2 - 11 year olds.

We had my daughters 3rd birthday party here and it was great. The room was perfect size and decorated to her theme. The storyteller was brilliant and all the kids loved it.
