The Royal Navy Submarine Museum — Attraction in Gosport

The Submarine Museum in Gosport is an absolute must-visit for anyone with an interest in maritime history or military technology. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the wealth of information and exhibits on display.

The museum's collection of submarines, artefacts, and interactive displays is truly impressive. Not only do they provide a comprehensive look at the history of submarine warfare, but they also offer a unique glimpse into the lives of the brave men and women who served on these vessels.

The highlight of my visit was exploring the HMS Alliance, Britain's only surviving Second World War era ocean-going submarine. Walking through its narrow corridors and peeking into the cramped living quarters gave me an incredible understanding of the challenges faced by submariners during wartime.

The museum staff are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their subject matter. They were more than happy to answer my questions and share their insights, which enhanced my experience even further. The interactive exhibits also added an extra layer of excitement, allowing me to test my submarine piloting skills and gain a deeper understanding of the technical aspects of these incredible vessels.

The museum's layout is well-designed, leading visitors on a journey through the history of submarines clearly and engagingly. The attention to detail in the displays and the quality of the exhibits are evident throughout, making it easy to lose track of time as you immerse yourself in the stories and artefacts on display.

The waterfront location of the museum is stunning, and the views of the harbour add to the overall experience. The adjacent Royal Navy Submarine Museum also offers a unique opportunity to explore the HMS Holland I, the Royal Navy's first submarine, further enriching the visit.

In summary, the Submarine Museum in Gosport is an exceptional attraction that offers a fascinating and educational experience for visitors of all ages. Whether you're a history buff, a military enthusiast, or simply curious about the world beneath the waves, this museum is sure to leave a lasting impression. I can't recommend it highly enough and encourage anyone in the area to make it a priority on...

Visited this museum on 16 Sep 2023 with my wife, son and two grand-daughters. At the ticket counter I was told the entry cost for us all was going to be in the region of 155 pds. I could tell that even the lovely woman selling the tickets had difficulty with how much it was and was very understanding when I said I would go and think about it. I ended up purchasing tickets for myself and the two girls. We looked around the static display which was quite good and then lined up at the allotted time to go onboard the large submarine. We entered the in the forward torpedo room where a guide gave a brief summary of a few facts about the submarine that lasted for about 3-4 minutes. He then said we were free to work our way back down the submarine to the control room where one of his colleagues would be located. So we were left to look though the front part of the sub. When we got to the control room the next guide hardly said hello and we got no further commentary at all. After we looked around we made our way to the back of the sub and got off about no more than 15-20 minutes after we go on, with little learnt about what we had seen. I would have rated this experience a one star if not for the woman who sold us the tickets who also spent as long as the sub guide telling us some interesting facts about the main submarine. I'd recommend the Fleet Air Arm museum over the sub museum any day. Way more to look at, great displays and informative audio visuals, all for...

This is a long review as part of a bank holiday weekend 😁 sorry about that 😌 but here goes. In Portsmouth harbour one has the opportunity to visit the Historical Dockyard. I would definitely recommend it. Tickets vary from £34 adult per visit, or you can get a better option £44 adult but is valid for a full year from the time of purchase and trust me when I say you will NOT have the time to finish everything in one day so it's better long term. For the day we have visited the HMS Warrior (I will post photos of that too) and the Submarine Museum and it was an amazing experience throughout. We had a little boat taking us across the chanel to the museum, about 15 minutes ride (I would definitely recommend to be mindful of the weather ☁️🌡️ as it can be very windy and colder than the land so have some extra layers of clothing with you), the view of the harbour entrance and the outline of the Isle of Wight was absolutely spectacular. We spent there around 1.2 hours and got the ride back . I've learned a lot of things related to submarines and the way they were developed. It is a testament to human engineering, resilience and at the time of development, of the desire to protect. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, no question was a silly question. They've engaged and explained things very well. I would recommend it and will definitely be...
