Hello! I want to take my Beatles-crazy 11 year old son to Liverpool for a few days. Any suggestions as to what I should do with him there? Thanks!

Hi Saleve. Welcome to the forum!
I recommend the Beatles Story in the Albert dock. A round trip ferry on the Mersey. The Cavern club - will be fine up to about 7pm. There is live music on every day. There is also a second Beatles Story at the Pier Head that have on special exhibitions. I think 'when The Beatles met Elvis' is still on amongst others. The Magical Mystery Tour bus. Visit to John and Paul's house. Possibly a visit to the Casbah club but I'm not sure if they still do official tours.
If I think of any more I will let you know. Feel free to ask any more questions.

Thank you! I'll look into all these things. Do you think he's too young to attend Beatles Week? I'm sure I'll have more questions as the time gets closer - we're going in August.

The convention in the Adelphi hotel would be ideal. The Cavern club wouldn't be really suitable in the day time during Beatleweek. It gets very busy in the Cavern club during the day in Beatleweek so that may or may not be an option. It's worth checking out the Beatleweek website to see if there are other special events like in the Phiharmonic. However a lot of tickets are tied up in packages this year. Here's the website anyway www.cavernclub.org/beatle-week-events

What about checking out that Beatles Hotel??? Isn't it called A Hard Days Night Hotel, or something like that? ?

Thanks. It's nice to be here. My son, Jack, was listening to the music on my ipod and came to the Beatles by himself. It's strange, but he's totally obsessed with them.
