Portsmouth Historic Dockyard Ticket

The ultimate ticket is a great value but almost impossible to use in just one day! Our 11 year old son absolutely loved touring the ships and asking the interpreters questions. The staff was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the museums and conservation. The Mary Rose is an absolute must see- exquisite displays and so much to see! I suggest doing the explosion and sub museums first or you'll miss out, due to the limited ferry rides.

Magnificent, very instructive day. But it is better to plan for two days to do everything. Important, download the application to have a guide in French because no English person speaks or wants to speak in French. Like all the comments that are under the paintings, models or others, they are only in English and I find that very unfortunate. But otherwise it is magnificent.

Truely a great out. We spent 5 hours there and could have still spent more time (if we had it). The history is amazing. So glad they are preserving this for future generations.

I will not be writing a review of these two famous historic ships. Perhaps if I had been alone I would have paid the entrance price. I was with my wife, daughter and son in law, and it is not a question of being able to pay. We decided that a GBP 200 entrance (50 pound, per person) fee, would be better spent towards fine dining in the evening. The entrance fee is valid for a year and allows multiple visits. Fine if you live locally! As noted in other reviews one of the ships is currently in scaffolding. I assume that the management of this site have analysed, the entrance price mechanics and that the entrance fee is the optimum price. I suspect that many families on smaller budgets will miss the opportunity to visit two of Englands historic ships.

The museums are glorious. You need a full day there. Check in could be better.

Bad signage, it's a museum like the 80's, all craggy and badly explained, without text panels or explanatory screens. The boats close at 3pm and do not warn when entering. and worst: THE VICTORY IS UNDER REPAIR AND WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED!!!! NOTHING RECOMMENDABLE

So much to see! We went back a second day and could spent another! The guides were great. Make sure you ask them questions.

Spent two days on the visit and failed to see it all. Ever since the Mary Rose was raised I had wanted to see it and was not disappointed. AMAZING presentation and the collection of Tudor artefacts is incredible. Victory is equally impressive and the audio is superb. Very dramatic. That was day 1. 2nd day started with the waterbus to the submarine. Useful to have ex submariners to take you through the experience. Excellent museum too. Then to the Warrior. An exhausting ship with all the decks and stairs but combination of sail and steam most interesting. Glad I had the all inclusive ticket as will have to return and see the rest.

The HMS Warrior is a fantastic ship to explore — huge, fascinating, and full of history. What made the visit even better were the staff, who brought the ship to life with their knowledge and passion. They really helped you imagine what life would have been like on board in Victorian times. A brilliant experience and highly recommended for all, young or old.

Appalled at pricing. £36 for just ONE attraction. The price does allow for return visits but still grossly overpriced for the conditions. A walk of some 200 yards - and back of course - from entry point to the exhibition we chose, Mary Rose. I have mobility problems, walk with a stick. No offer of assistance,; surely a little passenger buggy should be available for such as myself. Eventually got inside; a short hologram introduction. No seats. Interior not well signposted; dimly lit (that's understood to a certain degree for preservation ) but not entirely safe standing/moving around. No seats apart from some stools to carry with you. What ? Poor signage as to flow of movement of people. Dim lighting made it very difficult as I could easily have fallen. Perhaps for that price they should at least provide safe access and seating, for mobility limited customers.
