Well worth a visit. Loads of local info, maps etc and helpful staff. But also an extensive local museum upstairs, a gallery which frequently changes downstairs and a video screening about history of Exeter.
Excellent historcal display/exhibition of Exeter Quay through the different ages!!! Excellent display area for interesting exhibitions,interests and hobbies! Brilliant Venue!!! 😃👍
Its ok. Nothing special. The outside looks better than the in. The staff were friendly enough, but the displays were very boring to me. It was good information, don't get me wrong. And the history was very interesting but I just think they should be displayed better as right now it is just large posters with information on. No artifacts or anything to add context or make more dynamic.
The history of Exeter is presented in great 15 minutes movie in Custom House. The information center now is only here. A lot of leaflets with interesting places, maps, upcoming events for all ages can be found there. Friendly atmosphere, excellent attitude, remarkable history.
Wonderful visit and learnt lots from this interesting visitor centre. Great staff and you can attend many of their free redcoat tours. The Quay is a must-see and has an array of quirky shops and wonderful places to stop for food or refreshments. You will most definitely love the swans along the way!
