  The exhibit is fantastic. The costumes have so much more detail than the camera can catch on the series. The props are amazing to see up close and personal. It was well worth the trip. My wife and I would see it again and again. We would give it 6 stars! The staff was helpful, courteous & polite.

  It’s nice how some die hard fan of downtown abbey thought of creating it for others. Even though I haven’t watched the show, I got a chance to go visit because of Yelp and it was very nicely done. There’s a room with walls being screens that play parts of the show which was very well done. They have a dresses and jewelry section which is interesting to see. I also liked the section where they pay a tribute to the lady who was from 1820s era trying to adjust to the changing times of 1900s to modernism. Thy have a free coat check. They have a gift shop as well.

  Thought this was great for fans of the show. It was so cool to see the props and especially the costumes up close. It was definitely worth getting the VIP pass which meant you could come any time during that day and also got the additional audio/video guide. You could definitely enjoy the exhibit without the extra but I found it very interest to get more about the changing times. I would advise that you take a moment on the second floor to watch a lot of the extras on the device they give. I was planning to finish watching on the third floor but there wasn’t anywhere to sit and the third floor is just clothing and the farewell video. Very cool!!

  What a great exhibit! Loaded with lots of interactive, high tech exhibitions. I loved the room that was floor to ceiling movie screens. I unfortunately had my resume turned down at the "What house position are you" kiosk. Every room was so meticulous I loved it. I bought a photo in the gift shop that came with a digital copy. The next day when I went online they have me all the backgrounds in digital form. Very cool!

  As an adoring fan of the show, seeing this exhibit was like visiting old friends I'd been missing. There are short videos at a couple of spots where you get to hear Mr. Carson and some of the others talking about the exhibit and life at Downton. Displays were wonderful including letters and telegrams and other props from the show like the telephone and the servants bell board. It was almost like going back in time. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit and do recommend to all fans! Give yourself about 1.5 to 2 hours to linger and admire the gorgeous costumes, read the signs and absorb this little glimpse into Downton.
