The information centre was very informative. The audio guides were easy to use and gave enough information to gain an understanding of this period in time. Particularly enjoyed the narrative before wandering out onto the battlefield.

This is a wonderful place and I highly recommend it. It's a really great day trip and worth every penny.
-
A fantastic day out at Culloden. Recommend everyone to go there. A very special place. You can find your ancestors history., Much to see. Staff are terrific, venue is fantastic, plenty parking.
-
It was probably the most beautiful and saddest place I have ever visited. There's so much history there! To be able to walk in the Moor where so many lives were slaughtered is something between painful and mind blowing!
-
The battlefield is haunting and a very solemn place. Worth the whole walk. The visitor center is definitely worth the money, it is a full experience audio and visually through the time period leading up to the battle at Culloden. Amazing artifacts on display. The cafe was very pleasant and a nice place to regroup with hot tea and lunch after a chilly afternoon.
-
Really well done museum!
-
For history fans especially, the battlefield is very memorable.
-
We bought this in advance, then exchanged our voucher for a ticket at the Visitor Centre. The main reason for doing this was to pay on our credit cards in advance. We paid for as much online as we could so we could charge less often while there and take less cash with us.
-
This was an amazing start to our holiday, part of a road trip around the uk. Our trip to Culloden was brilliant, informative. highly recommend this trip especially if you love history and the series of Outlander, really brings things to life.
-
You can walk the battle ground for free, but the walk thru the museum is well worth the money!
