Great day out with kids, book the Ahoy (indoor play area ) online at the day before your visit. Great map at the level 1 is a must. All hands children’s gallery is also located at level 2.
The technology does not work here. The Great Map should be interactive with free iPads provided, but its not working yet, and the Compass Card stamping is great fun, but only half the scanners work!
It's worth a visit even if you don't have a big interest in British marine history.
Free admission , nice building. Not very eye-catching presentation of information compared to other London museums , but quite nice. First time I see a parking spot for baby strollers inside a museum .
Good day out, shops, softplay, outdoor playground , cafe and a massive park behind the museum !
Though it says "Opened late Thursday", the only areas actually opened late are the temporary exhibitions on lower ground floor and the few rooms on ground floor. Everything else still closes at 5. ????
If you like sailing , you should take a tour to this museum . You can see the most beautifull and big, and old ships and many others tools, like compas (their are a lot of compas)
Free admission . It's fun to get one of those little white cards and collect your stamps and scans around the exhibits , even as an adult.
Somewhat biased, as I've lived within walking distance since birth, but it's well worth a visit. Check out the Royal Naval College and the Royal Observatory (now pay - boo!) whilst admiring the great
This is a GREAT museum for kids. We've been taking our boy, now four years old, there since he was a baby. Great interactive exhibits - have uploaded two photos of these.
a very interesting museum with loads of interactive fun and games ????
Really nice. I really loved to see the aerea about Nelson, where you can see the bullet hole on his jacket , amazing!
Make sure you visit the new Nelson Gallery plus the Baltic Exchange stained glass .
One of the biggest objects in the maritime museum is Prince Frederick’s lavish state barge, built in 1732 for the son of George II, and used by royalty to travel along the Thames until 1849.
Free admission , and the buss stop is right outside the main entrance

Franklin exhibition interesting. Multi areas of history supported by artifacts .
Free admission . Quite a large collection. London pass gets a free souvenir book .
Take the foot tunnel to Island Garden and visit the Mudchute farm to catch a glimpse of sheeps, pigs and Lamas!
The principal building was completed in 1635 for Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I. It was built on the grounds of the former Tudor royal palace where Elizabeth I was born
Very nice museum for some good old ship models and a bit of history
Amazing museum with beautiful free exposition !

It was surprising very interesting. The cafe was good too.
Recently rebranded by www.SomeOneInLondon.com check out the spectacular new wing and interactive voyagers gallery .
Fantastic museum . Free entrance.
Amazing playground and very interesting museum .
Awesome kid area
Our favourite exhibit is the scale model of Cook's first voyage, including tiny, named figurines of all the crew on board.
Great for the family
Can't go wrong with a free-admission museum
Not good for under 6's as lots of information and very few 'play/touch' displays. Good for older kids and those who like boats/story of sailing .
Only a few days to go until the new Sammy Ofer Wing opens on 14 July! Come along for a host of free events to celebrate on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 of July. Read more
Talked me into buying ticket to a painting exhibition 10mins before closing time. Did not do refund, did not allow to come back another day. Suggested I rush past 100 paintings in 10 minutes.
Great Cafe - wonderful things to look at
Not the best museum I've visited. The French Maritime Museum in Paris (Trocadero) is not as well known but is interesting too.
5 mins walk to Greenwich Park from here. Do drop by for the green!
The cafe is TERRIBLE. Bring a picnic because the museum food is practically inedible.
Get really excited when you realize Thor The Dark World was filmed here!
Interesting for everyone not just those who like the sea
Great place for the kids on a cold Sunday afternoon. Paul is a bit expensive .
Fantastic new water features for paddling in by the new entrance. Kids love it
Become a member, you won't be disappointed.
Free entry. Great museum .
Not much to see but can have some idea of the Battle of Jutland among other smaller exhibits .
Nice! Will come here again
Museum , gardens , public space
Great museum . Go stand in Africa!

It’s lovely to be able to sit outside beside Greenwich Park. We enjoyed coffees. There’s hot food available too - Lynn Taskis
Fun to go with kids. Self Paced and explanatory. Good walk to spend a couple of hours in London. The recreations of the old villages are amazing - Ana López de Silanes
Amazing place and it’s a must if you visit London! You can spend hours & hours inside so plan well if you are time poor. Worth to hire the audio as it can be really crowded to get too close. - Maria
Mail Rail is fascinating! And the staff are very knowledgable, passionate, and friendly. A great day out – especially on a rainy day. - James Gill
One of my favourite places in London. The gardens are lovely and the visits to the main buildings are a must-do from time to time. - Javier Miranda
Zero point ☺️ starter meridian. Green, quiet, beautiful village. You will like it ???? - Aybige Cantürk
The views across London are stunning. Very romantic setting; perfect for a picnic; before a stroll downhill to visit the Cutty Sark - Jacques
