Had a wonderful time here with my mum, who's 73. The staff were super friendly and the exhibits interesting. Losts ofbgreat facts and images. Absolutely loved the VR headset experience that takes you out to the windfarm. I have been on the actual boat tour (which is utterly amazing and definitely worth a visit too), but the VR experience also gives you an insight inside one of the the turbines and on top of one too on the outside! Do go. You'll love it. My mum did too. Thank you ❤️

Well worth popping in to see the displays, lots of interesting facts and info about the wind farm that is visible along the coast. The VR experience is also a nice touch.

This is a free, small interesting exhibition about the wind farm off the Brighton coast and about ways to do your bit to help reduce the climate crisis.

Surprisingly engaging and interesting little museum. Despite its relatively small size there's so much to learn and read here, and the people behind its design seem genuinely passionate for the subject matter. I particularly enjoyed the VR experience which takes you out to and all the way up a turbine. Free to walk in and enter. It's uncrowded during the week although it's possible you may have to book a free slot for the weekend and holidays.
