    Wonderful small museum, very informative with really knowledgeable volunteers who have great details on local history. The displays and models are really impressive and the ship is just awesome. Really worth a visit.

    £3 per adult was a bargain price to pay for what this Museum had to offer. A real hidden gem and just a nice and interesting place to walk around. The Smack boat in the shed out the back was a real privilege to see and well worth a look. The volunteers were lovely and very enthusiastic. Plenty of costumes to try on and the gift shop was well priced. My favourite was the Fisherman's Friend exhibition and seeing the original artefacts inside there. The cafe seemed very good, although it was a bit too warm in there today sadly. If that's the only drawback then it shows you how good this little place is.

    Most tourists know Fleetwood because of the market, but the museum is a real find. There are lots of wonderful exhibits, but even better are the retired trawlermen who are willing and able to pass on their knowledge. One chap took the time to explain the tidal system in the whole of Morecambe Bay to me . It's fascinating but pretty frightening, too. And you must go to the cafe. The 2 women who were on today were a hilarious double act. As a senior, I paid £2 for this marvellous experience. When you are done with the Market give it a go. You won't regret it.

    Very impressive museum about the workings of the fishing industry and all the other activities associated with Fleetwood. plus you can look at Harriet a full sized wooden fishing boat that's waiting for restoration. very helpful friendly staff. cafe and toilets on site. There's a small entrance charge. I would definitely recommend a visit

    We visited for the first time, yesterday. We've always visited Fleetwood in the closed season before. What a wonderful place! I was so impressed with the amount of information and memorabilia we could see. The volunteers were so friendly and helpful too, even the Punch and Judy guy who heard me ask if the show was over and arranged an impromptu appearance of his crocodile puppet around the closed curtain and snapping his jaws at us. Very funny. It was so refreshing to see visitors of such a wide cross section of age ranges. It's a place I would definitely revisit as there is so much to read and you cannot help but miss some of the material there. I'm in awe of this place, with so many plans for progression in a world where everyone is having to make its pennies stretch further. Well done guys! You're a credit to us all! I had such an enjoyable visit!

    Excellent little museum. Very interesting but not "dry"! Very friendly, welcoming volunteers who are really knowledgeable. Great for kids too with quizzes. We'll worth the £3 entry fee - really well done!

    A fascinating museum with a charming and knowledgeable team who were outstanding ambassadors for the town. An engaging story of Fleetwood over the years giving us a real insight to the highs and lows of its people, industries and traditions. Highly recommended.

    Very good exhibits and displays and helpful volunteers. Pleasant tea room. Fleetwood has lots of history more than you may think. Looking to extend the museum building in the future to accomadate historic trawlers and provide more space. Good value. Just the thing if it is a wet day.

    It was my best trip in Fleetwood the best experience to visit Fleetwood Museum. All Stuff are absolutely fantastic very friendly with great knowledge of history. They got so good sense of humour too. Thank you very much for your super service. Love from Tony and Alena from Shropshire.

    We went to the museum as part of the heritage weekend so it was free. However we will come again so we can spend more time there. It's a very good informative museum giving us so much information about Fleetwood, that we didn't know. It's very good value at £3/£2 for Seniors. We would definitely recommend a visit here.

    A medium-sized but interesting museum (housed in the old Town Hall building) that very successfully tells the story of Fleetwood's creation, hey days and eventual decline. However, the town isn't finished yet and it's also interesting to see how it's reinvented itself in recent times. Lots to see, especially the hull of the "Harriet" in a separate boat house. Younger kids might need to be engaged with the exhibits but all in all, it's worth a visit for all ages.

    A must visit. The volunteers were so lovely and patient, taking the time to talk us through where to go and giving an interesting talk about the ship out back. There was even a quiz for kids, tailored to their age range. We had a lovely time.

    A fantastic hidden gem. Driven past this place countless times & never visited until recently. A really interesting place with lots of local Lancashire history inside. The staff were exceptional, each & everyone we encountered were friendly & welcoming and provided us with great facts & knowledge. Highly recommended for the 130 year old fishing boat alone!
