Mary Rose Review

So much to see and learn. Helpful and knowledgable volunteers.

What a fabulous place. The kids loved collecting the stamps, the adults loved the informative displays. Everyone loved the videos

I'd visited victory before but never bothered with the Mary Rose as a ruin didn't capture my imagination. But I really enjoyed it. The exhibitions are great and bring the whole thing to life.

Mary Rose tells a story, you shouldn t miss. The ship, the artefacts, the recreated lives of people on deck... not to mention the dog!

Nice interactive place for children where they can follow a trail whilst learning. There's a lot floors which can be accessed via a lift as well as the stairs.

There's a projector onto the ship that shows it "alive"

Wonderful job done collecting Mary Rose from ocean, making possible to be seen by us after so many years !

Excellent musem well done and very interesting. Will be back with a year ticket thanks to waitrose offer

What can I say this place is awesome. The artefacts, the craft, the people. Fantastic. I've waited since 1982 when I had the Tele on all day to follow the raising of the Mary Rose so imagine my delight when my daughter treated me for my birthday.june 2018.

Very informative, the museum is well designed and laid out to show off the ship and relics.

Very interesting. Easy to read information. Well laid out with good disabled access.

Fab piece of history.came to Portsmouth especially to see her...came 10 years ago when she was being sprayed with wax..so nice to see her completed..it's a must visit

Excellent museum...interesting and something for all ages

Fantastic day out, need to go again as there's so much to see.

Great experience and story associated with the ship.
Exceptional exposition of the ship and its content too !

Amazing museum, well resourced, modern. Excellent access and also next to the exciting Victory outside. Well worth a visit.

FANTASTIC!!!!! 100% Recommend this museum its awesome. I can't recommend it enough. I spent a day here and it was brilliant.

Fantastic history very interesting and a wonderful artifacts museam. Had a great time visiting potmouth dockyard.

Our visit was suggested by my 13 year old son. I was not sure how interesting such a decayed lump of timber could be?
Well I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere in the museum, and the vast number of displays surrounding the multi level viewing galleries of the hull was fantastic.

Really interesting, clever exhibition. Visited many times and learn different things every time. Got annual pass, good discount online if you purchase and visit before end of March.

Great to visit along with other dry-docked ships in the Portsmouth Historical Dockyards area. Get a real sense of history walking around and through the ship, lots to see as most decks and areas within are open.

Very good, impressive museum. Staff are very friendly and love to talk to you about ships so don't be shy. Lots of interactive bits for kids and the ship and display room are jaw dropping. Must see if you're in the area.

Well worth a visit seeing the skeleton of the ship is quite chilling, there's also lots of artifacts to see and lots of information about the ship and crew

Fascinating modern museum about one of Henry VIII 's ships that sunk off Portsmouth in 1545

I love this museum, especially as I remember the Mary Rose coming out of the water!

Incredible ship! Can't wait for the restoration process to finish.

In my opinion this attraction is over priced for what's on offer. Yes there's lots of history here, but it's missing something...

Absolutely the best visitor experience on the south coast. Not to be missed.

An incredible museum, very cleverly and accessibly laid out. My favourite parts were the trunks and their contents which are presented in a fascinating way that sparks the imagination. Well worth a visit for all ages and plan to spend a couple of hours taking it all in. Staff were friendly but not intrusive.

A fantastic museum and brilliantly shows what life was like at the time.

Hard to describe in a few word but it is soo worth a visit or two. Very informative staff,just ask if you can't work something out.

Fantastic! Beautifully put together, and fascinating. The Mary Rose alone is worth the entrance fee.

Incredibly detailed exhibition! You should easily plan 5 hours. It's worth every pound to enter!

Superb presentations. Most impressive and wonderfully educational.

One amazing trip out. Haven't been since I was in primary school and visited today with an outstanding review. So much to see and so much thought has gone into preserving one of British historical places. The museum entry is a shock to More

Fascinating, much improved since last visit about 5 years ago. Extremely well presented.

Absolutely brilliant. It s an expensive trip, but definitely worth it. It is all curated and presented beautifully.

Very interesting, lots to see, amazing how much has been recovered. Guides throughout were very knowledgeable and friendly

Fantastic place unbelievable how artifacts have been preserved. A must visit

Located within the wonderful historic dockyards at Portsmouth this insight into the past is breathtaking from the artifacts on display and the history behind each and every one to the detailed accounts of the redescovery and the raising operation. This museum is packed full to the rafters. With a free annual pass included in the ticket price you can go back again and again

2 hours well spent - excellent story telling & exhibition

Huge improvement on last time I was here (late 1980s)

I last visited as part of a school trip back in the 1996! When the Mary Rose was under spray preservation.
WOW! I was amazed at how much has changed. The whole museum building is very impressive and the layout is very good with three floors built up around the Rose itself. Information and artefacts are plentiful with a lot on display. You come away feeling like you have learnt a lot. Excellent museum. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Amazing ! ....suitable for 7 yrs plus easily although I went with my uni so architecture students loved this experience! .... I will be returning with the children for sure !

Animated characters showing life on board ship in Tudor England. Interesting displays of artefacts brought from the wreck and placed behind glass as displays. One of the most interesting ways they have conceived is to make the whole experience have a unique feel is the way you experience as though you are actually on board the vessel. On the highest floor the glass has been removed and you are able to smell the actual timbers of the ship an evocative experience.

Very fascinating and amazing to see the effort made to restore and maintain what is left of the shipwreck. The guy who is dressed as Henry VIII was very amusing but informative and great how he got the kids joining in.

Once inside the exhibits were stunning. However, having to queue for over an hour, even with pre-paid tickets, is totally unacceptable. Paying for entry up front, as far as I can see, has no benefit whatsoever when you have to queue along with everyone else.

A full Tudor experience. Well displayed and well thought out museum. A real tribute to the tragic events of July 19 1545.

Amazing, such progress from the early days of misted views. Such a lot of thought to make the experience immersive. Buy tickets ahead for great savings. Whole site is excellent

Brilliant, just amazing how the Mary Rose has been displayed & restored we'll definitely recommend it to our family & friends.

Incredibly interesting and insightful museum. Very knowledgeable stewards and well laid out. Very interesting for all ages.

Fabulous ! So much to see and amazing how many items have been brought up from the seabed its unbelievable. Buy a ticket and visit as many times as you want in the next 12 months brilliant

Amazing place. The recovered wreck has been beautifully restored and displayed. There was a superb sound & light show / video focused on areas of the vessel.
I wanted to pit my skills against the long bow stand, but it was 'out of order'. (As my ticket is valid for a year. I'll get it next visit!)

Really worth it. What a masterpiece of conservation.

Stunning very well laid out and well worth the visit. Highly recommended

Wow,took our breath away,its only a wreck of twisted wood but its 500 yrs old and scarey

The Mary Rose museum is an absolute must see, for anyone interested in history. The relatively small but beautifully designed exterior belies the huge and wonderful exhibition within, the remains of the hull is only a small part of the whole. Don't hesitate just go!

Fantastic experience getting up close to the ship and it's crew. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent really enjoyed the visit very spectacular!

Well laid out and informative. Given the state of the wreck after 430-odd years on the seabed, I cannot think how they could have done a better job...

Liked the display of the ship and the history was palpable. The oldest service proud.

Pay to enter but worth every penny when you get inside

Fantastic exhibits, with spectacular views of the wrecked hull - now free of water mist and upright. For part of the walk you are in the same room as the ship. It's been a long journey for it, I remember it being raised with Prince Charles watching over while I was at school.
