Great free space. Lots of interesting things to learn about. The mammoth a highlight for me. Lovely childrens comfy area to read and create. Lots of lovely things in the gift shop. Nice large cafe space.

It's a lovely little museum free to enter. £8.65 for 3x cans at the cafe was on the expensive side but I'm trying to justify the fact the museum was free. We have been a couple times this year. This week they had the St Luke hospice light houses

We recently visited The Box and honestly… what a gem of a place! From the moment we walked in, it had that perfect balance of “this is educational” and “this is actually really fun.” The kids were hooked straight away, no dragging feet, no “how long are we here for?”… just genuine interest (which, as any parent knows, is basically a miracle). The exhibits were spot on, informative without turning into a full-blown lecture. Just enough detail to learn something new without the kids glazing over halfway through. Whoever wrote those descriptions deserves a cup of tea and a biscuit. It really sparked a sense of wonder and curiosity that stuck with us long after we left. We were still chatting about things we’d seen in the car on the way home, which says everything. The staff were brilliant too, friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of what they’ve got there (and rightly so). All in all, a fantastic family day out. Educational, engaging, and most importantly, enjoyable for everyone. “The Box” absolutely smashed it. 👏

Been coming here for a few years, an open and free museum is nothing to complain about. My favourite exhibit has always been the one with the mammoth and all the other animals. The changing exhibitions upstairs are hit and miss depending on what's on. Staff are always pretty helpful.

Extremely well established. Covers all the aspects of Plymouth's History. Very good 4D history video and other LCD videos. Good sculpture and well preserved marine life. Quite Fascinating for kids and adults as well. No admission fee and generally not so crowded.
