There is a very good slavery museum in Liverpool, for non-Beatley. Liverpool was largely built on the slave-trade, the museum recognises its wrong.
For Beatley, you should PM fabfouremily. She might even offer to give you the tour!

Are few Beatley things to do are these:
– Visit Forthlin Rd and Mendips (you can tour inside, though you don’t get long I’m afraid). Definitely worth it, though.
– Beatles Story museum, is good (particularly for your family if they’re not big fans) but I did feel a bit dissapointed here. They do have a very good shop and a Beatles Starbucks, though (my personal idea of heaven).
– There’s tours you can get (bus or duck-boat-bus-thing) which take you to the notable places: Strawberry Field, the homes of the boys, past the top of Matthew St (the Cavern definitely is a must), the flats where John lived with Stu, etc. Something to bear in mind, though, is that you only stop at one or two places, so you might be better off arranging to see the places independantly if you have transport/are okay on the bus.
Non-Beatles:
– The Tate is quite good (and free), though small.
– The Liverpool museum is very good, I spent almost a whole day in there last summer. Very interactive. I’m a museum-lover anyway, but it was fantastic. And also free.
There’s a lot more to do so if you want any more suggestions then just ask, I’ll be more than happy to help 
EDIT: Here’s a sort of review of the Beatles Story museum by one of our members from a few years ago: https://www.beatlesbible.com/f…..liverpool/ (includes pictures of items on display, so spoiler alert).

Offline Well, you go past there on the tours (here is a place where you stop to have a pic next to the signs). It’s just a normal, busy suburb though, nothing spectacular. Still, worth a visit for obvious reasons. Apparently, the barber is the same guy (or his family) that was there in the late 50s. So he must be the barber in the song. There’s something interesting.

3 apples and a <3 for the Rick Steves love. Somehow I don’t remember seeing that episode but I saw the England guide once and flipped through to the Liverpool section. 
Here’s the section from his website, if it helps.

Cool beans! I saw his FB post about his newly redesigned website, but I hadn’t visited it yet. I have gotten so much help from his guide books and from the forum member on his site. I couldn’t have made it on my three trips to Europe without him and them.

Offline Apart from the Beatles, the main thing Liverpool is known for is for it’s two soccer teams – Liverpool FC and Everton FC. Both of these teams are among the most successful soccer teams in England. In fact, Liverpool FC is the only English soccer team to have been Champions of Europe 5 times. You can go to the stadiums and have guided tours – go in the dressing room, walk on the pitch, see the trophies etc. – I am not sure if this would be something that would interest you.

Offline There was always a connection between the Liverpool teams and The Beatles.
The Kop, a(n in)famous section of the Liverpool ground at Anfield, was known for breaking into Beatles singalongs, as seen here (roughly a minute in):
And for anyone who has wondered about the Red and Blue albums, Liverpool play in Red and Everton in Blue.

For those planning to go to Liverpool, or longing to do so anyway, I hope this combined thread helps you out. I also encourage you to read Joe’s thread about his trips to Liverpool and Hamburg.

Offline The tour inside Mendips and Forthlin Road is worth every penny (and more). I spent the morning of my birthday there last September and, I have to say, I thought it my Best Birthday Ever. Tremendously moving – I could almost see John whizzing past me on the stairs in his short trousers, being chased by Mimi.
Actually, I found Forthlin Road an even more moving experience – standing in the tiny floorspace of the Hit Factory; and framing in my mind a despondent young Paul staring out the window in the months following his mum’s death. It’s a far more humble and working class environment than Mendips. In the front parlour, they play a recorded message from Paul, and I was surprised to find myself rather welling up during it…!
Had dinner in The Hard Day’s Night Hotel that night, and very reasonably priced it was, too (though it is pretty simple fare).

Offline Excellent video, @She_is_leaving_home. Your song choices match the visuals so well. That Dear Prudence “Look around, round, round” part was very cool. I liked the part where the group was waving at The Beatles and they were waving back. What a creative way to introduce the tribute band! Good job!
