Wheelchair access to this museum is via a lift which is tucked away at the back the reaches al the floors. The guide was extremely helpful and a mine of information. There is a gift shop and exhibition centre and a park.

Firstly to say that the tour guide was most informative, he explained very well and with the map i understood where Mr. Livingstone had been. Just sadly I did not take his name. A big thank you to him.As a visitor from Southern Africa, (we drove to Hamilton on 8th August) I could understand the type of country he was going into.When I was a child our history had been about David Livingstone, in a small way. After my visit I have more respect for the man who travelled to the unknown and all its dangers.I found the room where the family were housed most fascinating.The park and buildings are lovely, just found the restaurant could be little more inviting. hope its in for a revamp as well.Staff are friendly in the shop, interesting to find the Bothwell castle close by, (family name )

We visited on a very rainy day, so gave the gardens a miss. The staff in the gift shop/ café were friendly and welcoming. We were left to our own devices in the museum as there were no guides, this wasn't a huge problem as the exhibits were very well explained, however, I have impaired mobility and would have made use of the lift if there had been a member of staff available to assist as this was a stipulation of use. The statue and fountain in the grounds were both excellent! Would love to return on a fine day so we could see the gardens!

Yes the Centre is needing a revamp but that does not detract from gaining great insight about this remarkable man and his family life.My grandchildren loved the dressing up box and took great interest with the quiz.The surrounding parklands are lovely and the 'World Fountain' outside the café is very interesting. The Lion attacking David Livingstone statue at the entrance is remarkable.My family and I had a good time at the Livingstone Centre and we wish them well for the future.The café serves good basic snack food and we were served by a very friendly member of staff..

First impressions of the David Livingstone Centre is how friendly the staff are. We visited the afternoon of Saturday, 9th August 2014 and we were greeted by lovely girl at pay desk who was very welcoming and informative. We then walked into the house itself and we were greeted by a female guide who certainly knew her stuff. The exhibition is very informative and the kids had a quiz to complete which went down very well. Gardens and surrounding area very nice and interesting to walk through. Picnic tables were appreciated. Café nice but very little left by time we got there. What we had was reasonably priced and café was clean. Shop stocked with lots of good items, some of which we bought. Would recommend for an afternoon out. Staff should be proud of the good job they are doing.
