Only there for a couple of hours. Found it interesting and I'm not big into history or ships. The HMS Invincible exhibit was very interesting. I was very surprised not to see anything about how the Navy has developed since the 1800s and possibly something about the new fleet. I think that would give good contrast to the history. The in dock ship HMS Trincomalee was very interesting but not for tall people, you have to stoop a lot to get thru some areas so you don't bang your head. The weapons talk was quick and loud. Never knew a flint lock musket would make such a bang on firing. Found it disappointing that some of the intetactive push buttons didn't work, ans also many lights not working on them especially the Fighting Ships experience.

Great day out. Much more to do than I expected. Lots of activities and a childrens play area, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Tickets last a year, we will definitely be back!

Very enjoyable. The highlight is the HMS Trincomalee which was built in India commissioned by the British Navy due to a lack of available wood. It took 11 years to restore and is a very impressive warship. The restored docks are a museum to maritime working life and then there is the ship to go aboard. It's somewhere to visit when it is wet and miserable but probably better on a warmer day as they won't allow access to the deck when it is wet. You need to duck and mind your head to visit all the decks but it is well worth it. We watched a YouTube video before we visited to navigate the layout and that made it all the better for seeing in real life.

I came here with my partner for our anniversary as he loves pirates and I like boats and it was a wonderful experience from beginning to end - the lady we bought the tickets from explained to us when the boat opens and when shows were on. All of the exhibits we're very interesting but of course the main attraction was the ship! The ship is large and has many rooms to investigate - just be cautious as the steps are incredibly steep but staff is always there to remind you and watch for your safety. If you like boats or pirates or anything like that, it is definitely worth putting on your bucket list!

We visited in October 2023, and it was fairly quiet with ample parking. We managed to spend about 2 hours there and an additional 30 minutes in the attached museum. The cafe was perfectly adequate, though a bit on the quiet side. However, it was a weekday, so I can't complain. It's a fantastic place with plenty to see and do, and the ship is absolutely amazing. It's a must-visit.
