The place is a must to visit. Especially if you like to explore history and heritage. But regardless there’s so much interesting things to see. Perfect for kids and good accessibility everywhere (except the ships).

The Historic Dock yard has a lot to see and do. Two ships from differet periods of time to go on, and an submarine. If you pay a bit extra the (Call the Midwife tour) which is filmed here. Make sure you book the submarine as it gets fully book quite early.

Seems pretty cool but despite having asked beforehand at the Plan Your Visit Section and being told that it was fine to enter the last exhibition before 5:15 pm, so we could roam about until 6:00 pm when it's their closing time, we were ushered out at 5:15 pm on the dot saying they had to lock up now. Very, very disappointing! Especially as the kids seemed to love this exhibition. All we got after complaining to the manager was a well-meant "sorry!" but that doesn't help when you drove over an hour to get there and you saved the best for last for the kids. So, beware when you really plan your visit there: their real closing time is 5:15 pm!!! Only place you can go afterwards is the shop and food section - to spend some more money. ;) We'll probably go again tomorrow as we left over 80 £ in entrance fees but we're only in the UK for one more day, so I would really have liked to spare my kids the long journey another time. We'll then add Upnor Castle to our things-to-see list to make the trip worthwhile. I still hope you can understand our disappointment today.

Its interesting to explore.. Historic ships, tools, trucks, jeeps ,train heads, and a lot of other interesting gears

Love the place, with a year of free return, we will be back again soon.

Fantastic collect of old lifeboats, wonderfully displayed in a nostalgic setting. Highly recommend you to visit

You can easily spend a whole day here.

Great to see the history of the RNLI lifeboats and a must see if visiting the dockyard.

Great selection of historic lifeboats
