Quirky Creepy and Very Informative!
Nomad37930862554, Mar 2025
Sick to Death in Chester is hands down one of the most unique and entertaining attractions I’ve visited. Set in a fittingly gothic, historic building right on the city walls, the atmosphere is perfect before you even step inside. Think medieval spookiness meets medical mayhem with a healthy dose of humour thrown in! The experience is fully immersive, walking you through the gruesome and fascinating history of medicine, from plague doctors to Victorian surgery, all presented with a creative twist. It’s both educational and darkly hilarious definitely not your average museum. The staff are fantastic too: super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about making the visit memorable. Whether you’re a history fan, a lover of the weird and wonderful, or just looking for something totally different to do in Chester, Sick to Death is a must. It’s quirky, clever, and just the right amount of creepy. Highly recommend!
Excellent informative and interactive experience, worth every penny

We were recommended this by a few people around the city, and we’re glad we went. The whole place is very interactive and informative, and not afraid to shy away from some of the weird and wonderful. Maybe those of an OCD or squeamish nature should think twice, however my other half is both and still enjoyed himself, even if it was me having to do all the interacting. The place is only small, and we got around one hour out of it, reading and poking everything we could find, however when you consider the price of admission, you’re very much getting your monies worth.
fantastic

Brilliant day out today at Sick to Death. The staff member who sold us the ticket and chatted in the shop after was brilliant, really kind and funny and willing to chat away with us about all sorts of things, checking that we enjoyed ourselves. The museum itself is absolutely brilliant, load of information that you can find in many different ways, and lots of hands on activities to enjoy absolutely brilliant way to spend an afternoon
Purely pungent

Found ourselves outside this "attraction" so we thought why not Tickets were £8 each and we started our tour Quite informative and gruesome in parts. It was okay but not worth £8 each
