A must visit – so much value for the entrance fee. The museum is phenomenal with a large cage and gift shop. The staff are incredibly helpful, the accessibility is outstanding and there is a great play park for the kids. There is a map included which takes you on a walking tour past the monument, Kirk, Burns Birthplace and much more.

We had a day trip out to the Robert Burns museum and cottage and found both extremely interesting. The museum tells the story of his life and writings, we were surprised by the amount of music and songs he wrote as well as poetry. There are a lot of artifacts tracing his whole life and writings. The carvings of the Tam o' shanter story are excellent and well worth a look. There is also a very good restaurant there with a varied selection of food and drink.
We took the poets path to the Burns Cottage but there is another car park there if you want. The cottage is well laid out and gives you a good idea how they lived back then.
Outside the museum you can walk to the Burns Monument and gardens and not far from this is the Brig O'Doon bridge.
All the staff we spoke to were really friendly and helpful and made it a good day out.

An interesting time looking around the museum, used our NT membership. Went to view Brig a Doon and walked the Poets path both ways and enjoyed the sculptures beside the path. Didn't have time to visit his actual birth place, viewed it from the outside only.
