The Titanic Experience Cobh, is located in the original White Star Line building and retraces the footsteps of the last 123 passengers who on the morning of April 11th 1912, boarded the Titanic at Queenstown (as Cobh was then known), on its ill-fated maiden voyage to America. It's a great experience and you begin by being given a boarding card with the name and details of one of the 123 passengers who boarded the iconic Titanic in 1912 and at the end, you can look up whether you were one of the fortunate survivors. Once you have your boarding pass and enter the exhibition, you begin a 30 minute guided tour which starts in a small theatre where you are shown an excellent short film about the Titanic. You get to see the remains of the actual pier from which the passengers embarked for the Titanic by tenders and a replica Titanic cabin where you will experience what life would have been like on board for First Class and the Third Class passengers. After this you enter an exhibition hall where you are free to explore at your own leisure a wide range of exhibits including storyboards, interactive audio-visual presentations, and photographs and artifacts with lots of information and facts about the Titanic, and how and why the Titanic sank on that fateful night. Your experience ends in an area where you can look up to see whether or not the passenger on your ticket was one of the fortunate survivors. It's great fun and well presented, educational and very original. It's easy to see why it's one of the most popular tourist attractions in Cobh. Highly recommended.

The guides are good, but the facility is only ok for the high cost and brief 'experience' (30-60 minutes). Unfortunately, groups are shuffled between guides, with a different guide for each area. This means there is no continuity, and really diminishes the experience. In some ways, this might actually be a better experience with more visitors present, too give the feeling of being lost in a large crowd on the ship. The experience involves an initial introduction providing background for the voyage, where one is provided the identity of a passenger who boarded in Queenstown (Cobh). Next the boats ferrying passengers to the Titanic from the dock are explained. After crossing a porch, we entered a reconstructed parlor, and were able to see third class and first class rooms. We are then brought to a room where the sinking is illustrated. Finally there is a museum type gallery with information about the ship and the discovery/exploration of the wreck. A few artifacts from original passengers are also on display. Finally, you can see whether your assigned passenger survived, and if so how their life went. Of course, one then exits through the gift shop. We enjoyed the restaurant under/behind the Titanic experience as much as the experience itself.

Best museum in Europe about Titanic. Small but very beautiful since the guide explains very good about the people and history regarding the last city Titanic stopped in before heading towards the Atlantic. Amazing reconstruction of the 3rd class room, they should have done a bit more beautiful the 1st one since in the real photos of the boat looks fancier, good shop where you can get the souvenirs, a room containing some rests of the Carpathia boat that rescued the Titanic passengers and a very beautiful room where you can find very nice monitors showing you the history of the passengers, general infos, quiz and especially a beautiful construction that recreates the smells of different things on the ship such as the brandy that gentlemen used to drink, the gym smell and so many others such as 3rd class members socks ahaha. The building itself was the structure in which the passenger walked to reach the boarding deck. Only thing I suggest is that lower floor on which they waited for boarding and now is replaced by a cafƩ should also be included as a part of the museum. Very recommended by a great Titanic lover like me.

It was fine. Kinda cheesy. There's a small museum and examples of the living quarters for 1st and 3rd class. Most of the tour is recorded on video though and the group is hearded through to each if the little movies that act as guides. You do get a copy of the boarding pass of one of the actual passengers who boarded the Titanic at Cobh (Queenstown)and they have info about what happened to the person at the end of the tour. That was pretty cool. It was fine. Admission was included in our tour group but I think it was only like Ā£9. Its worth that. The history of the building is worth that. Their was a Titanic exhibit in Chicago Museum of Science and Industry that was absolutely stunning and had a drop dead amazing Titanic experience if you're into that. Maybe I was just a bit spoiled by that experience to really enjoy this one. I'm not a big fan of cheesy video guides I guess. Others in my group enjoyed it very much. It only takes about 30 min to get thru so it's worth the time and the price of admission.
