The national maritime museum consists of three separates sites on both banks of the river. This is the modern branch of the museum and is highly recommended for families with kids. It caters for English speaking tourists. You can buy a ticket which includes crossing the river on the museums ferry which shuttles back and to every fifteen minutes. The other museum located inside the granaries I found a bit boring and sadly it has no English signs. #letsguide, #poland, #gdansk, #visitgdansk, #oldtown, #river, #motława, #motlawariver, #waterfront, #greatviews, #touristattraction, #familydayout, #funforkids, #tokarska, #museum

Nice interactive exhibition and visually pleasing experience. Clean and neat. Convenient little souvenir store on the first floor, so you could have a little memorabilia from there. Would recommend visiting yourself and bring your kids along I think they won’t be bored there and will appreciate the time spent.

Excellent museum. Great for kids

Awesome time for the kids, everything is in English & Polish. You buy your ticket in the downstairs lobby and you wait for your specified time to go in, ours was 1200-1300

As mentioned many times before - great for families and kids, there are many running everywhere. You can buy a ticket just for this building or the other attractions. There are three floors in this building: First (12zl) mostly for kids, interactive show. Second (8zl) with actual boats from around the world (kayaks, catamarans, small boats). And third (gratis) with exposition from Polish firm which makes big ships (actualy quite interesting).

Great museum. Price is Family friendly. BUT... half of the "interactive" was broken or required a "reboot" when we said that they do not work. Staff did not seem to be interested in checking or engaging with demonstrations or explaining what is what, even though it was seemingly dedicated to kids.

We arrived at around 4:30 PM, and the first floor where the interactive exhibition is for children was already closed because of full capacity. So we visited 2nd and 3rd floor (non interactive exhibitions). It was nice as well, but we specifically came for the interactive exhibition. The ticket price for what we saw on 2nd and 3rd floor was adequate - around 20 PLN for two adults and one child. On 3rd floor there were some interactive items, but half of them didn't work or were closed. When you come here, come early. PS: gods are not allowed

Inexpensive tickets to the main exhibition. But you need to buy a separate ticket to visit the interactive floor.

It was a marvelous museum, the exhibition consists of two parts: the interactive one (it is a perfect place for children of all ages to take part in a huge range of activities related to the sea ) and the exhibition of boats itself.

We visited the museum in August 2016 and most of the simulators worked. Cool for the kids. We went to Soldek ship, too. There is a ferry Moltawa that runs every 15 minutes across the river canal. Soldek is as it is - an old ship, fun to explore, use your own imagination:). Allow about 3 hours for both.

Partially interactive expositions, interesting for both adults and children Not everything is working

Very nice interactive display. Not fully operational though

Nice little place with some decent boats from around the world. The top floor though is basically propaganda for the local shipyard.

If your kid is the one to put hands everywhere and touch everything ,this is simply a must to go,specially after the boat museum that might be boring to some.

Good museum for kids - a lot of interaction items.

Terrible place! I just didn't get the idea of this place. We went there with 2 kids. They didn't have any chance to try the interactive tools because we were placed in the interactive exhibition room with a class of yelling kids running and touching everything around. Frankly, most of the interactive tools didn't work properly. They were either broken or destroyed. Many of them even weren't interactive.
