Great historic place to visit for all ages. There's plenty to see in a day. We went over two days as your ticket lasts a year and we feel that there's so much that we missed. It's definitely worth getting the ultimate ticket as it's great value for money. If you're a blue light card holder you get 30% off the price. We'll be back again soon to see the rest and revisit the Mary Rose exhibition.

AMAZING! so much to explore. So much to see! Def worth the money. You can choose between different types of tickets. The staff is super nice, helpful and know every little detail. It's really fun to learn all the information. Great for kids! Many different restaurants. Clean toilets. Parking available at the carpark nearby.

So much to see and do. Lots of history. Pace yourself and plan your day. By the Ultimate ticket and use it as many times as you want, we used it over two days. It includes all the attractions also the harbour tour and waterbus to the submarine museum. Valid for a year so fantastic value.

Well worth the visit as the tours of the Warrior, M33 and Victory are well done with costumed characters on the Warrior to talk to and guide you who are well versed in the history of the ship. Be aware that the Victory is currently undergoing a big restoration project and is shrouded in scaffolding but you can still go inside for a self guided audio tour. You need to allow 2 days to see everything so as not to rush anything. We spent a good part of the day in the Mary Rose, it was fantastic and very well laid out. We would visit again.

The whole Dockyard is really well organised and presented. I visited during summer holidays and there were lots of families but no particular area was overcrowded.
Queues can be long but are usually fairly fast moving.
The Mary Rose is a definite highlight, it’s a whole museum on its own. I really recommend going to it first.
The tickets are pretty expensive but are valid for a year, there’s a lot to see so you can definitely revisit to get some more value out of your tickets.

Absolutely loved it.

We gained admission on a free entry ticket and quickly found that there is still plenty to see for free here, boathouse 7 and boathouse 4 in particular were fascinating.
After three hours we were forced to retire due to aged legs but could easily have spent more time nosing around.

We would love to come back another time and gladly pay to get into the premium exhibitions.

Fabulous experience 👍👍👍👍👍

Highly recommend buying an ultimate experience ticket, this gives a fantastic opportunity to visit everything on site and is valid for 12 months. We managed to visit 3 of the main attractions so will make use of the ticket, retuning to explore the rest. All staff are very friendly and helpful. An amazing place to visit. Parking is close by and at a reasonable price.

The dockyard itself is a great place to visit. Starts to get a bit pricey when paying for the visits tot he different attractions. For two adults and a child.to.include one visit to a attraction ( we did the victory) it cost over 70 pounds. Although cant knock the history
