There is so much to see while at this museum. Not only are there educational exhibits, but there are also the grounds to explore. This visit was the first time I was able to go into the Commissioners House, which was a bucket list item for me. The views from the grounds and the building are breathtaking. I feel we got more than our moneys worth for the admission.

Hey! Just wanted to say thanks to Patrick for allowing us to become a sandwich!!!

they have the worlds best sandwich

10/10 Best sandwich

Amazing place! Great history and very interesting.

This is the resting site of the bread. Very nice.

Wow. This place is truly blessed by Jesus because of the Earth Sandwich.

The legendary site of which the Earth Sandwich was completed. Truly an astonishing piece of history.

Wunderbar

amazing place Patrick is an absolute madlad

Took advantage of the free admission in February and visited the museum. There was work taking place around the Commissioners House and as always, some exhibits were closed off. I always enjoy the military exhibits and it was good to see my great grand uncles name listed as having served in World War I. Lots of open outdoor space and it is a pipe friendly place.

We came here via the ferry from Hamilton on our first day in Bermuda. Helped to give us a sense of the island and its history. The Commissioners House is a great place to sit and contemplate the past, as well as to enjoy panoramic views. Highly recommended.

Large historic naval site with several fascinating exhibitions. We learned about Bermuda's discovery and nautical history in the Queen's Exhibition Hall, and about Bermuda's military history in the Commissioner's House. The Commissioner's House also includes displays on the story of Bermuda's role in the Transatlantic slave trade, and the sad story of slavery and n Bermuda.

Beautiful old building with lots of historical info posted. Not a huge number of artifacts displayed. The grounds are beautiful with lots of old gun emplacements to explore.

If this is a second or third trip to Bermuda and you’re looking for something new to do, this is an excellent stop! This is a good day one excursion in the morning, make sure you do this only if the weather is nice. This museum is an inside and outside experience.

While I find the Royal Dockyards to be pretty bland and touristy and not so exciting.....this place is GREAT. Walked right up and paid my $18 on credit card, was given a map, and then off I went to some of the most amazing views in Bermuda, pretty fort grounds and cannons, beautiful old buildings, great exhibits on the history of the island, some free takeaway books on Bermuda, fun views of the local dolphins (having to work for tourists unfortunately), and an incredible mural that was quite a great work of art. I am a quick walker and probably spent 3 hours for my visit, and most of the time I felt like I was there by myself as very few people there (you are missing out folks!). A few small complaints detract from what would have otherwise been an enthusiastic 5-star review. First, I never saw any staff anywhere after I paid - glad I didn't have any questions about anything. Secondly, many of the museum exhibits (ex. watercolor paintings) are located in the Commissioner's House.....but when you get there and start walking through, many of the rooms with exhibits are CLOSED. There wasn't a notice of this at the entrance before I paid, and I couldn't find mention of closed exhibits on their website either. I would still have gladly paid and still think this museum is a great value for everything that is open.....but not cool. Overall - don't miss this place folks, if not just for the views from the Commissioner House, the Graham Foster mural, and the Queen Elizabeth room helping to explain Bermuda.

We stopped in here our last day in Bermuda. We ended up being there a few hours. Lots of interesting things to see from the history of Bermuda. For $18 you get to see history, military and dolphins. Kids 16 and under are free. Some of the buildings are air conditioned which was a nice surprise. Lots of great pics from the top of the fort.

Awesome and informative museum with lots of physical and interpretive exhibits. I planned for a two hour visit, and ran out of time. Will definitely visit again. Gets busier in the afternoon.

The lady at the front desk was so helpful and friendly. The price can't be beat for the experience you get! We loved actually being able to walk around with the lemurs.

Bermudan history is quite interesting and the museum offers great insight. Spent a couple hours here exploring the grounds, tunnels, and displays.

It was really hot to walk around this museum. The view on top of the commissioner’s house is incredible:infinite view to the horizon. Many collection to learn. But I only have one hour, I just walked around . Entrance ticket is $18 for an adult. Bathroom is very clean . Dophin quest is another attraction inside the museum. However, I don’t really enjoy seeing animals get stuck in a small living space, so I skip the visit to dolphin.

Nice museum with a good overview of Bermuda history and interesting artifacts. Located on site of old fortifications which were nice to walk through.

Set within the fort in The Keep at the Royal Naval Dockyard and encompassing the beautifully restored 19th-century Commissioner's House, the National Museum of Bermuda has a mighty collection of artifacts and exhibits that delve into Bermuda's maritime history. Built to guard the entire naval base, the fort features seven bastions and ramparts. Visitors can learn about shipwrecks, battles, and more in eight historic exhibit buildings. The Commissioner's house, the oldest cast iron frame residential building in the Western Hemisphere, transports you back in time with authentic period furniture and exhibits on the island's military past. Don't miss the incredible Hall of History mural, created by the Bermudian artist Graham Foster, that takes up all four walls of a room in the house. Grab a bite to eat and enjoy it on the wraparound veranda, taking in the panoramic views of the island and the Atlantic ocean. The best part--the adorable sheep grazing the grounds.

We stopped here from the Carnival Cruise Port. I really liked this museum. I would definitely stop by here again if I ever get another chance.

Great place, local history and easy access to the docks and water sports, and snorkle beach there is great history there

The exhibits are interesting and well curated. There is a little something for everyone. The day we went there was a palmetto weaver who was teaching a class which was very cool. And the views from the point are unbelievable. This place was well worth it! A must go in Dockside

Admission is about $20- $25. Great hills for walking. You can sign up to swim with the dolphins with an instructor for about $275. The views are amazing and it really is a step back into time. The employees here historically knowledgeable and the gift shop is cute interesting. Definently with it, I spent about 3 hours here, and. Could of stayed all day. Very peaceful.

Historical, cultural with interesting information. Great views and several museum to explore. Family friendly for a fantastic price. A must see/visit.

Brilliant museum which is well researched and set out. They are doing a sympathetic restoration on the buildings and have everything well staged together in topics. I would love to be able to buy a book with photographs and copies of the work to bring home and study. My husband enjoyed the display of ww1 and WW2 memorabilia especially. I have never seen such a good explanation the working of a Fort anywhere. I thought the personal information on local families especially detailed.

Really good indoor and outdoor museum. Lots of exhibitions to walk around inside various buildings to help you learn the fascinating history of Bermuda. Definitely worth going.

Great place to visit learn of our history

This a nice place to visit tells a lot of the history of the area. It is an easy walk from the pier if you come in on a cruise. Lots to look at and look around. Beautiful views of the ocean and surrounding area

The history of Bermuda is intriguing. Loved the dolphins and how open the museum was. The kids also loved it.

Great little place to visit if you’re taking a cruise. Very close to the dock with amazing views. It has a playground for kids near the dolphins. The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the number of dolphins in such a small area, however, it did look like they had a larger pen beyond the wall. Price is very reasonable $18 for adults and free for kids.

Great experience!! One of our favorite days there, got to learn a lot and the dolphins and sheep were so fun too!

Beautiful exhibits about the history of this wonderful island. We had a fun time exploring the grounds and seeing the exhibits. I was a little disappointed some were closed for updates, but I hope to be back soon to see them when they reopen. Beautiful views of the island from the grounds and great to just walk and enjoy the scenery.

This was a great half day trip and an excellent way to learn about Bermuda's rich history and culture. The $18 entry fee was absolutely worth it for the experience! The images & stories were captivating. The museum is family friendly & you can explore at your own pace!

Great place to learn about the history of the island and see how they lived.

$20 for adults Kids get in free Lots of cool stuff to check out. Definitely worth the trip.

Lots of walking but worth the price

Traces the history of Bermuda with some emphasis on slavery and the Portuguese influence.

Enjoyed this museum. There are lots of interesting things to see.

Always worth visiting, so much it takes several visits to cover it all.

아름다운 바다를 보며 천천히 둘러보기 좋습니다. 정원에서 만난 관리인분 정말 유쾌하고 친절하셨어요. 감사합니다~ 내가 버뮤다까지 여행 올줄은 생각도 못했었는데… 다시 또 버뮤다에 올 날이 있겠죠? 😋

Interesting historical information

If you are at all interested in history this is a must go when in Bermuda. There are interesting objects on display from all time periods. A lot of military related collections / artifacts if that is your jam. Interior spaces are almost all well air-conditioned! The views are spectacular. It does appear to be wildly understaffed. A lot of the exhibits are undergoing renovation and a lot of the ones I really wanted to see were closed (the coin, rare books, and the historic paintings sections were all shut down). It is not crowded. In that it is indeed worth a visit!

We weren't expecting to see dolphins. The grounds were beautiful and the museum was interesting and educational. The views were absolutely breathtaking. I loved the Halloween decorations in the display cases, that was too cute! It was like a little scavenger hunt to find them all.

Beautiful place to visit. Only came here for dolphin experience, but other family toured and said it was wonderful. They have a cute playground by the dolphin experience, too, if your kids need a break.

Time well spent learning about Bermuda.

Good way to see some history and culture of Bermuda. Large elevated fort area to walk around and see the sights from an elevated location. Great pic opportunity with the cruise ships in the background also. The Museum was interesting with quality exhibits. Several were under renovation so should only get better.

Historical

Il Bermuda National Museum, situato presso il Royal Naval Dockyard, è una tappa imperdibile per chi è interessato alla storia delle Bermuda. Il museo si trova all'interno di una fortezza storica e ospita una vasta gamma di esposizioni che raccontano la storia marittima, militare e culturale dell'isola. Tra le attrazioni principali, ci sono artefatti legati alla navigazione, reperti archeologici e mostre sulla vita quotidiana dei Bermudiani attraverso i secoli. Le esposizioni interattive e i dettagli storici rendono la visita coinvolgente e informativa, offrendo una panoramica completa del passato e delle tradizioni di Bermuda. È altamente consigliata una visita per apprezzare appieno la ricca eredità dell'arcipelago.

Spent more time here than I thought we would, very interesting and lots to read and see. The grounds are amazing with beautiful views. So close to the cruise port. $18 admission,, kids under 16 are free!

Lovely museum and scenery. Dolphin Quest was great, and the sights are breathtaking. It's definitely a recommendation for a history lesson about Bermuda and amazing views of the island.

A short walk from the cruise ship. Excellent way to learn more about the history of Bermuda. Wonderful exhibits that are highly recommended.

Very educational

Fantastic insite into the history of Bermuda, beautiful view across Dockyard, snorkel park and the cruise ships

I hadn’t planned to visit this museum during our cruise stop in Bermuda, but I’m so glad I did! So pretty. So peaceful. Self-guided and so much to see.

A beautiful walk with awesome views. They have a really neat playground. Plus you can see dolphins! Was a bit pricy but totally worth it for us.

Wonderful place. I loved the books on the history of the country and the gorgeous views.

What an incredibly special place! All the exhibits here really added to the appreciation of Bermuda history. I especially loved the coin and paper money room. There’s bathrooms available throughout the building and the museum is relatively easy to navigate. This is a must visit for any tourist!

We had a very nice visit and learned quite a bit about Bermuda's colorful history! The mansion was beautiful and we could examine the mural for hours if we had the time! Dolphin quest was an amazing surprise! We didn't really research this as a visit, but decided after walking past the museum on the way to the beach to check admission prices. It was well worth the reasonable charge for the education and views, but to see the dolphin encounter was the highlight of the visit!

Lovely museum with many nice exhibits. Commissioner's House was interesting with marvelous views. Don't miss the Shipwreck Museum.

I truly enjoyed the museum. We spent close to four hours exploring the exhibits. It was a really interesting collection of military, sailing and other historical artifacts. The buildings/fortifications themselves were interesting too. We also got to see a baby dolphin at the dolphin encounter (you can visit this without doing the actual encounter) and that was a real treat. It is an easy walk from the cruise ship dock - well worth it.

This place is great. A lot of history and you get to see the Dolphin Quest team at work. To me that was the best part. When I come back to Bermuda I will for sure be back here.

This Museum the dockyard museum this is a National Treasure we need to visit this facility so that we can understand more about Bermuda this is a must-see when you come to Bermuda

Great museum very interesting artifacts. Great history about the island. I recommend

Great place for kids, rain or shine. Watch the dolphins play while the kids enjoy the playground.

Very informative.

Historic place a must see museum. Exhibiting the history of Bermuda

You have to see the incredibly detailed paintings in the "Hall of History" in the Commissioner's House. Just one of the wonderful things to see in the National Museum of Bermuda. Be prepared for a steep climb to get to it.

Great place to round up a great family trip.

Absolutely make sure to stop here and be sure to have a few hours. The Royal Naval Dockyard is a very great area full of shops, restaurants, tourist activities, and much more. Absolutely, plan on spending a few hours walking around and a few more hours for the museum. Be sure to check out the museum — I believe it’s $7 for adults. Explore the land, inside the commissioners house, watch them train dolphins and so much more

Lovely vantage point and museum!

Spent hours just walking around with our 5 year old. We really enjoyed it.

lovely place to explore

😘

Lot to see the sheep are great and dolphins

Loved it

Awesome

Very educational on the history of Bermuda

Excellent museum and the history of Bermuda wall mural is just fantastic worth the entrance price alone

Good museum on history of bermuda. Children friendly. Dont miss dolphin quest at museum and nearby craft market

Nice walk lots to take in could spend hours and hours here.

Interesting area, close to cruise ship terminal.

I could spend hours there, and I did! Beautiful and informative. The dolphins and roaming sheep are quite fun as well.

Unplanned visit turned into a memorable experience. Great place for all ages. Unparalleled history.

Amazing museum full of historical artefacts, you can learn all about the island here! The fort and views of Dockyard are so beautiful! You can also look down to Snorkel Beach and see the fish. Don't miss the Dolphin Quest.

I thought it would have more information about Bermuda and Bermudan people but it was really a maritime and war museum more than anything. Nice views but its a little repetitive.

Definitely worth the time to tour and see the exhibits

Great museum to learn all about Bermuda. The museum is located within the walls of an old British fort. Not only are you free to explore the grounds and bastions as you see fit, but theres even a dolphin enclosure !!!!! For a few, you can even swim with them.

Interesting place to visit

Amazing museum and zoo. If you go to Bermuda, don't miss it. Natural and clean and a great array of lovely animals, well protected and cared for. The museum has great knowledge base of Bermudian wildlife. The seals and Giant Tortoises are amazing! The aquarium is also awe-striking. This is a small but full-fledged zoo with nice quiet walking paths and excellent staff.

All the history

Really great to see!

Nice

It was kool alot of stuff to see beautiful views I really enjoyed myself

Just about the best thing to do in Bermuda! (Apart from the beaches).

In the heritage city of St. George, the fort is historic in nature and well kept for it's age. Views of the sea at @180 degrees and the through which most of the ships enter Bermuda can be seen. There is an entry fee to the fort. It is around a 5-7 min walk from the st. George bus terminal. Have time in hand when seeing the fort if you like history, there are a few things to read.

Beautiful historic relic and a fantastic viewpoint of the surrounding landscape. Fort St. Catherine is a must see for any history buff or anyone looking to roam through some chilly corridors on a hot day. Don't miss out on this great experience for a fairly reasonable admission fee.

Wasn't open when we came by on a Sunday in March. But the scenery is gorgeous, beaches on both sides. Must have been a great posting for a soldier back when. We skipped St. Catherine's Beach and instead went to the small beach on the left side. There's a small set of stairs going from the entrance road down to that beach.

Worth a stop over to this historic Bermudian fort. The waters surrounding this structure was amazing.

Not a big or well known fort but well maintained and solid exhibits. Views are fantastic and small beach just below the walls. A mile walk from town.

Great little fort. Too bad they're destroying the feel of the place by building resort of some sort right at it's footsteps. Horrible, the little beach right next to it has construction right at it's borders and the beach itself got overtaken with the fences and workers. The view from the fort towards the ocean is still nice but opposite direction is now destroyed! We didn't pay for the entrance to the fort, Bermuda is expensive already, so we just enjoyed outside of it. Great place that lost some of its innocence of the past glory.

Beautiful structure with even more beautiful views of the ocean. Despite arriving within 15 minutes of closing time, the incredibly kind staff allowed us in for a quick guided tour. Definitely worth seeing. Tobacco Bay is nearby, a short walk away and worth checking out. Construction on a new hotel was underway when I visited in March. Hoping it doesn't obstruct the views or take away from the awe of this historical landmark.

Wonderful old fort, part of the UNESCO world heritage site, with picturesque view from the top. If you visit only one fort on Bermuda, go for this one.

Definitely worth a visit if you're into old school military architecture and tactics.

Peacful n relaxing

Beautiful experience.

I love this fort i havent been since a kid so it was nice to be there for while

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place (Original) Muy bonito lugar

Excellent sample of British fortifications. Well preserved and maintained. It is a place you must visit while in Bermuda. Fort caretaker and guide Patric is the best person to give you a tour.

Was there forty years ago and it is still lovely. My dad to my kids there because his wife was named after St. Catherine of Sienna. He took pictures of the grandkids scrambling on the cannons!

Beautiful place, there was no one out there. We had a very pretty view from.

Beautiful place lice the ocean

Nice

Loved this place. Well worth a visit. Good exhibition with very informative history. When visiting Bermuda make sure you put this place on your to do list.

Really cool fort. They were adding exhibits to make it even better.

A great piece of early Bermuda's history. We explored the fortress late one morning. Large coastal guns and other artifacts on display. A must see when you come here.

Mesmerizing views!

Loved exploring and reading the strategically placed placards.

Great morning , very informative and well presented.

Get all the history on the island, the relevance of the fort and enjoy the laid back culture of the people here. Good starting point for touring the island and seeing the sights. Some beaches close by, food and other necessities. Get a tour bus, cab or some shared ride, you dont want to walk around on foot too much if you dont have to.

(Translated by Google) Cozy place (Original) Mysigt ställe

Absolutely gorgeous totally gorg

History!

Interesting place great views

Small Beach.....fabulous experience... Cant go wro g with Bermuda Beaches

Well worth a visit. For $7 you can't go wrong. Interesting to see how the fort developed and the island was fortified.

Amazing history, and super friendly staff

Great historical place. Great beach and great snorkeling when the tide is right.

Love the fort of course, so much history. Had a tour guide named Patrick. He was very personable and knowledgeable.

It was $17 for an adult, and $15 for a senior, and children under 12 are free admission. It was worth of your money visiting the museum. I was amazed with early sea navigation, cannons, and local food from early 16 century to current time.

Beautiful little aquarium and zoo and Natural history museum all in one! Also has an amazing view of the sound. About 45 minute taxi ride from Kings Warf or you can get there by bus with a transfer in Hamilton.

Nice place to visit short walk from the cruise ship. There is a $12 admission but it was well worth it also the dolphin experience is there.

Well maintained museum facility and educational exhibition. The grounds and fortification are beautiful. Well worth the visit.

Absolutely amazing if your into history! Such a beautiful place to explore! Highly recommended

Nice place to get a bit of Bermuda history, located very close to the cruise ship docks. Cost is $15.00 for adults and is self-guided.

As local as local culture gets. This museum really sheds a light on the history and culture of Bermuda. It doesn’t shy away from slavery and the past atrocities committed by the colonisers. Very informative - great for every history lover. Also includes a small dolphin lagoon/shelter. $18 for adults.

I enjoyeed my visit. I spent 4 hours walking the grounds by most of my time was in the museum at the commissioner house. It was interesting to learn about the history of Bermuda and see the exhibits.

Really interesting spot for lots of history on Bermuda. Don't come here if you're looking for "attractions" it's predominantly historical information. Great lookouts from every angle of the property. The dolphin exhibit is neat, the keepers seemed to really love them. If you're on a cruise, it's an easy walk.

Very well done museum. The number of artifacts and the detailed explanation of the history of the area slabs was incredible. A must see.

What a great place to visit. Some pretty interesting history. Tucked within this great museum turned out to be my favorite spot on my day in Bermuda. The dolphins! Got to chat with a very knowledge intern from Williamsburg VA. USA.

We were on a cruise which docked here. It was a 1700 era fort. It had multiple updates over time. Either way its a must to see. Loved walking through the grounds. So well perserved and a fun place. If we visit here again I would go again.

Very informative and much larger than it appeares. Museum ticket includes seeing the dolphins at Dolphin Quest.

The museum was good, but the dolphins are included at no extra price and they were great! If possible show up at feeding time shortly before closing time.

Espectacular, hermoso paisaje histórico
