It’s a free kids play space and we absolutely loved it. It’s so well done and the kids had so much fun exploring different areas of maritime history. Our favourite was the Ship, and going insider the cabins was great fun. I will happily be going back again. Highly recommend this space. Tickets have to be booked in advance, but they are free during the week during term time.

Amazing place, especially the free sessions. Lots for kids to do, well managed, and one entry/exit for peace of mind!

A bit chaotic venue. Not for crawlers, better for confident walkers. Kids keep shoes on so feels a bit grubby. Very strict on times, you get 45 mins max You must leave buggy outside the venue and walk 20m or so so enter. Bit awkward for twin parents ;)

This is a surprise we found, pre-checked but didn’t know that weekday is free admission. Parents need to be made aware that this is【NOT A SOFT PLAY】 Great role plays: - Sales and purchase practice; - Fish market Shopping experiences; - Shop assistance experience etc. Suitable for all pre-schoolers. Better for shoes and confident toddlers. Not fully air conditioned, the upper dock could get heated up in the afternoon. Four star for cleanness.

Make sure you pre-book online! You will be dissappointed if you don't. The first time we came here my son was so upset to leave, 45 minutes was not long enough for him! So today I booked him in for 2 slots and that was more than enough- we actually left before our time was up. Lots to explore for various ages, even babies as there is a sensory area. Outside the Ahoy! Play area there is a child friendly gift shop which are somewhat reasonably priced. Toilets are nearby although they are pretty much always busy. If you happen to have a potty training toddler- have a portable wee bottle handy!

This place is amazing! I see people have been complaining that the slots are only 45 min, however it's so cheap (free on weekdays or £6 for 1 adult and 1 child), so we tend to book more than one slot, and get a snack in between. Highly recommend this place, as it's my daughters favourite soft play.

Great space for toddlers, enough to keep them busy for the 45min slot! I found it was too young for my 5yr old, although there was one computer game where you steer the ship through icebergs. Located inside the museum, first left.

Excellent place to take the kids - book online before you go!

Absolutely brilliant Free during the week £3 on weekends and holidays. Just brilliant . Great way to expand imagination

This is an excellent children's play area and makes a family trip to the Maritime museum much easier because small kids do better with a break that's still engaging their curiosity
