Thoroughly enjoyed the Titanic display as well as the Southampton local exhibit. I would happily return. Excellent summary of the Titanic story.

You will get into deep thoughts when you see and feel the behind the making of the Titanic and its tragedy. It's always gives goose bumps when you hear and feel and making of titanic and what happened actually that night. Must go place if you are in southhampton. Fascinating Place. This is a very interesting exhibition with lots of exhibits and audio visuals. I would highly recommend a visit. Great. You can learn a lot of things and see beautiful pieces of art and not only. The staff is very friendly, the is clean and well organised. It is great for both adults and children. Parking is available just behibf the museum. Love the While saddened by the tragedy, Titanic was one of the most famous cruise liners even to date and it broke so many world records at that time. It feels very different to view the photos at the port from which it set sail - at Southampton, April 10th 1912, more than a century ago. The had lots of precious photos and interview recordings to bring us back in time. It is fascinating. Pre-purchasing the ticket allows you to skip the line, please do so to save time. Fascinating day out. Very informative and detailed of the Titanic and its crew members. Lots to see here, and very interesting as well as tragic at the same time. Plenty of activities for children to do and get the whole family involved in the titanic story. A ticket is valid for a whole year so also great value for money if you are local. Second visit at Sea City Museum, and we love it each time. Beautiful place and impressive of the Titanic ship. There is a lot to see , and there is a coffee shop too if you would like to have a break to enjoy a coffee or a piece of cake . A wonderful place to explore the Titanic’s history. It really brings the and lives of that to life! Heart felt, emotional journey through the museum. A must see Really good exhibition giving information on the Titanic. The is well laid out, way to navigate and well worth a visit. Great with friendly staff and very good cafe. We arrived at the Sea City right when it opened. There was no wait at the time. The Titanic we viewed was focused on the crew and the of several members to explain how the operated as well as what happened during the disaster. It was interesting and well designed. Highly recommended. Excellent of not a little small for the price you pay. Bearing in mind you can get into huge London museums like the natural and science museums for free. Titanic is good. Lots of info and easy enough to understand. Barely anything in the that's from the actual titanic. Most items in there are 'this is what it would have looked like' type items from other ships of around the same period. The court room setup is really good. Very atmospheric. Cafe is quite normal for a cafe - very expensive. Gift shop is good and prices are standard for a museum. Took me and 2 children around 2.5 hours for the whole including a break for lunch. There's a second section to the unrelated to the titanic which is interesting. Overall worth going to if you're visiting Southampton, but not a to go specifically to Southampton for, if that makes sense. Explains Southampton's connection with the Titanic rather well. No spoilers here, but I found one of the displays staggering, another quite emotional and the last one, well, I will never forget it. I had some fun too along the way. Well worth a visit when you are visiting the City, or maybe live here and keep putting off for another day, as I did for many years... My son, who is absolutely fascinated by the Titanic, had an incredible at this museum! The exhibits were a huge hit, keeping him engaged and excited as he explored the of the ship. The displays are not only fun but also incredibly informative, offering fascinating insights into the Titanic’s that captivated both of us. We loved how hands-on everything was, making it a perfect spot for curious kids and adults alike. Plus, the ticket policy is fantastic—you pay once and can return as many times as you’d like throughout the year, which is such a great value for families. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Very cool and immersive, the from the survivors were very haunting and made you think about what it was like to be on the Titanic when it crashed into the iceberg. Worth the £11 entry Infos unter Sea City Museum. Es gibt hier einen extra Bereich nur für die Titanic. Es ist einen Besuch Wert. Interesting about the crew but disappointing overall. Great museum, not cheap but you can go back throughout the year for free entry but you have to keep the receipt. Was a super with lots of interesting things in. The Titanic side of it is done really sympathetically. Really well. The cafe is great too! The tragedy of the Titanic is truly heartbreaking, and I still felt a deep heaviness as I went through the entire of the disaster. However, it is still worth studying in depth—I can never forget this event! Excellent covering titanic and beyond. Belfast titanic was a bit more and had a more detailed of the ship. Still a very good Very informative. Well laid out. Hervorragende Darstellung der Geschehnisse, absolut interessant, super nettes Personal und tolle Mitmachaktionen für jedermann. Unbedingt besuchenswert. Muzeum warte odwiedzenia.
