Millennium Dome, London > Reviews

Advantages: The content was superb, especially the show.
Disadvantages: Prices of tickets, food and merchandise.

...the film started were hilarious. The Millennium Show deserves particular mention. This was overwhelmingly impressive. I really enjoyed the show, with the pyrotechnics, acrobats and its general presentation being first rate. I congratulate all those who took part. One disappointment inside the Dome was the food and its price. These like the tickets were extortionate, despite the brochure telling you they were at, 'high street prices.' The merchandise ...

Advantages: Lots of attractions, foods, emotions
Disadvantages: Tiring on the feet, a lot of reading, £20 too much

I have been meaning to go to the Dome since it opened, just to say I had been there. My partner sorted it out and we went! Got there just after 12pm. You need to make you own mind up about this - but here's my experience... The place is big, spacious and warm ( a bit too warm in places) and there is so much to see. The Mind Zone and the Living Planet Zone were very good. Some zones - like the faith zone - require a lot of reading - not a lot of ... Read review

Advantages: Good day out - informative - entertaining - a once-in-a-lifetime experience
Disadvantages: too much to see in one day (Hey! is that REALLY a disadvantage? why not go back a second time?)

...day by a chaplain. The Millennium Diamond (the largest in the world) is a wonderful sight to behold. We managed about half the zones in one day and are planning another trip to "finish off" seeing it all. Food outlets are varied. Cheap Macdonalds through to restaurants are abundant. Souvenirs can be expensive but are good quality. In one of the stores, children can buy a large variety of pencils, rubbers, cards etc for just a few pence. There are ... Read review

Advantages: Shorter queue on the left, good atmosphere to start
Disadvantages: Almost content-free

This zone is entered up a spiral ramp, and it often looks as if it has a long queue. In fact, there are two queues - one for those who want to enter the zone after playing the "Spend a Million" game, and a much shorter one for those prepared to skip the game. If you play the game, you enter through an archway that is wallpapered with a million pounds - yes, 20,000 £50 notes are beside you, above you and underneath you, behind a transparent wall. You ...

Advantages: shows up the governments uselessness
Disadvantages: expensive, way over budget, waste of money, looks stupid, built in London

Is this not the most stupid looking building ever. It looks like a sodding balloon. If it was inflated at least we could live in the hope that it would burst and fly off into space like a deflating balloon. To pour the hundreds of millions that the government have done is disgraceful and will be written on their epitaph. When the NHS/Education/Public Transport is in such a state and yet they pour that kind of money in is disgusting. Do you know how ... Read review

Advantages: Well let me think ........
Disadvantages: Shows and entrance fee and ........

The Millennium Dome The Millennium Dome had taken some press stick and from the public as well saying that it isn’t worth the money and they are still spending on it. I think that the Millennium Dome is a waster of time because too much money has been spent on it and should have been spent on something worth while. I mean something like a museum, theme park, and a nature park. This makes everyone happy from youngsters to o.a.p’s. They could have ... Read review

Advantages: EVERYTHING
Disadvantages: THE PRICE ALTHOUGH IT IS WELL WORTH IT

To me the millennium done really symbolised eevrything thast the millennium means. The sheer sixe and amazement of the place. It was so brilliant i WNET AGAIN AND WOULD GO AGAIN IF i HAD THE MONEY. tHE MILLENNIUM SHOW WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, THE BEST SHOW i HAVE EVER SEEN. tHE MILLENNIUM STAR DIAMOND WAS WORTH THE TEN MINUTE WAIT TO SEE. EVEN THE SCHOOL ZONE HAS THE WONDERFUL MAGICAL ORCHARD BEHIND IT. REALLY I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT THIS ... Read review

Advantages: structure and shows
Disadvantages: zone content

The dome, that world famous disaster. How can they spend so much money and still make the contents look cheap? There is lots to see but not much to do, the content is dull and uninspiring while moving about is difficult amongst the mass of people packed into the structure. There are however three positive aspects of the day, the Blackadder show is easily the best attraction, but this is placed at the entrance just outside the dome. We visited this ... Read review

Advantages: Lots to see
Disadvantages: Hard to get to. Preachy. Not baby friendly

Theres much to see at the Dome, but the question is do we really want to see it? Too often I felt like I was being preached at. Especially in the Living Island Zone, with it's classic seaside look, but little touches to make you feel like all you do is wrong, such as having a bath instead of a shower, or eating junk food. Yes there were good points. The main show was very entertaining, and I enjoyed the games in the Work Zone. However there was too ... Read review

Advantages: Prices are Good

Now That the Millennium dome is now the O2 I thought I tell you all what a great day I have had Today at the o2. The O2 (formally Millennium dome) Contains Loads of Cafes and places to eat as well as London's Biggest Cinema and for the 1st time in Europe a massive arena which seats up to 3,000 People. Now I will tell you most parts of the dome which are now open. The arena can hold up to 3,000 people and can be turned used for Shows, Music ... Read review

Advantages: A beautiful building, will be changed into something new next year
Disadvantages: Everything else

...a few minutes. And the Millennium Show was equally disappointing. In the end we left early feeling angry and cheated. Here's my list on how that £800 million could have been spent.  61,585,835 CD Album's  29,101,491 Furby's  200,501,253 Florida Barbie Dolls  13,445,378 Clockwork Radio's  5,000,313 20" TVs  3,200,000,000 Bag's Of Crisps  8,000,800 Playstations  88,987,764 ...

Advantages: None what so ever
Disadvantages: Waste of Tax-payers and Lottery funds, Its a terrible site,

I have never been to "The millenium Dome" and have totally no intentions of going there but this does not stop me having a opinion on it, as I honestly believe its the most pathetic example on how to waste tax-payers money. I believe the "Millenium Dome" was thought of by the Tory government, and carried on by the "Labour" government as some type of "See we got it going" exercise. To think this thing cost over 800 million pounds, and has since ... Read review
