Here’s the questions people are asking about Black Country Living Museum

A general admission ticket gives you access to all open exhibits, including the underground mine experience, vintage transport rides, historic buildings, houses, shops, and workshops. Plus — the ticket also includes unlimited daytime returns for 12 months (via the museum’s “UnChained Annual Pass”) when you buy a full-price general admission ticket. Parking is available on site (500+ spaces across two car parks) — but note: a parking charge applies, and you’ll need to purchase a car-park token at the Visitor Centre.

Yes — many visitors spend most of the day exploring. With the variety of exhibits (shops, houses, industrial workshops, transport rides, underground mine, canal-side areas) there’s plenty to see, do and discover.

There is a lot to see across the site (historic village, workshops, mine, transport, etc.), we recommend allowing at least 4–5 hours to explore properly.

If you book a full-price ticket, the “UnChained Annual Pass” allows you to return for another visit later — perfect if you can’t see everything in one day.

Yes — the museum offers a variety of accessibility features: accessible toilets (Visitor Centre, Café, Pub, etc.), Changing Places facilities, assistance-dog access, printed information in large print, and more. They also run special Access Tours (monthly) that include British Sign Language–interpreter tours and Audio-Described tours, designed to make the experience inclusive for all visitors.

Due to the uneven terrain and historic surfaces across the Museum’s 26-acre site, children’s scooters are not allowed inside the grounds. Best to explore on foot (or use one of the on-site buses / vintage transport).
