The D-Day Museum is fairly small, but if you add the LCT 7074 and Southsea Castle, you will have a great day. The D-Day museum is the only museum that is devoted to the D-Day invasion. Be sure to see the Overlord Embroidery, it’s a work of art.

Me and my family visited this place on Sunday, there was no queue and we purchased the tickets at the counter. I was with my husband and 2 sons (11 and 14 years old) and we all enjoyed the visit. My youngest boy said that this is the best museum ever, because there's a lot of vehicles you can climb in, lots of weapons that you're allowed to use (also big ones where you can climb in), lots of bullets, guns and other things that you're allowed to pick up in your hands! The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, they know a lot of history and can tell stories about each item in the museum.

Really great museum! Lots of interesting artifacts and information. Beautiful location - right on the water. Friendly people. If you’re passing through Portsmouth on your Band of Brothers tour of Europe, this museum is definitely worth visiting.

A well-done museum that brings together personal stories, historical context, and artefacts to explain the events of 6 June 1944. The main exhibition uses mixed media, objects, and clear signage to cover topics like the beach landings and their objectives, German defenses, naval operations, caring for the wounded, and the experiences of French civilians. There’s an audio guide available, though the written displays are already very informative. We spent about 1-1.5 hours though could spend longer if wanting to absorb all details. Outside you can see the last surviving landing craft used on D-Day, which was much larger than expected and capable of carrying around 10 tanks. After the war it even served as a nightclub before being restored and brought here. The Overlord Embroidery is also interesting at 83 metres long, which tells the story of the invasion in impressive stitched detail. It’s a unique way to present the history and includes a lot of information within the scenes. Cafe: Excellent. Good selection of sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes, plougmans luncher, cakes, snacks, and hot drinks (including several vegetarian options). Parking: ample paid parking nearby behind

Interesting place to learn about D Day and the planning and details that went into it. Paid parking in its own car park or on the road outside. You can also board & explore the landing craft outside when you pay to enter the museum
