    Visited here on an Island tour. We were not disappointed . Great informative presentation on the history of Antigua & Barbados inside an air conditioner presentation room.. The guides were friendly and helpful. Beautiful place to take some great photos. Highly recommended.

    The view along with the rich history about the ruins is worth it. A fantastic spot to visit. Also apart of Nelson's Dockyard National Park.

    The interpretation center joins the collection of Antigua national park sites that offers a great perspective of what the island nation has to offer. If you are looking for great views, some history, and a check off your bucket list, look no further than this awesome attraction! Don’t forget to stay for the presentation, as well as grabbing some views from the lookout. They should bring a restaurant here as well!

    A lot of these photos are posted for the wrong location! Yes they are around the same area but not necessarily walking distances in this hot sun we have. The interpretation centre has been around since I was a child growing up. Whenever we have guests visiting from away we would take an Island Drive and end up at this place. The building itself is beautiful and it has a lot of interesting artifacts. The view from here includes Falmouth harbor, English harbor and Freemans bay. The show itself has not changed in years, with a few added extra video footage of recent carnival parades. The display desperately needs an update and the video and story line. Maybe one day!

    Definitly a must to visit if you are in the area. One of the best view of the coast. Got a lot of instagram views from the reel I did over there.

    It's a really great historical overview of the island and culture. The views are amazing. It's a great first stop before visiting English Harbor.

    My son loved learning about the history of the island through the video, and the views are definitely worth the drive up. If you are staying nearby (I think in the national park boundary) they will extend your pass to last for a week so you can visit the area multiple times and do some of the walks.

    Great views and do take in 15 minute show that charts the island history.

    Such a wonderful radio station that keeps people aware of catastrophic events. Great programing. An organization with a love for people.

    Beautiful and charming. The interpretation center has its cuteness.

  • 5/5 Desley G. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect sunset spot in the heart of the Nelson’s Dockyard National Park. The Interpretation Centre also features a light and sound show.

    Amazing event space in the national park with views of the harbor and inland.

    Very scenic view . Great tourist attraction and national history site.

  • 4/5 Gabriel D. 4 years ago on Google
    The view is stunning and there is even more! A nice little presentation about the history of Antigua guided by a very friendly staff member in an air conditioned room! There are some interesting (or disrupting) antennas up there too!

  • 5/5 David J. 10 months ago on Google
    Stunning views, cool and quiet. Excellent for weddings and other functions!

    We sort of stumbled on this on the way to Shirley Heights. A nice centre that gives you some of the history of Antigua. We came close to closing, and the staff were kind enough to stay open for us to watch the video/ model show. The lady who stayed to close up made sure we knew where we were going to get to Shirley Heights. Glad we found this place.

    In my opinion, this place is a great location to spend the weekend with your family and beloved ones. Last week, me and my family had a great time here
