Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre — Attraction in Pembroke Dock

To provide context, I travelled from 200 miles away to see this with my father. I did that on the basis of the Star Wars exhibit that made national news when it opened. I knew ahead of time it wasn't going to have any kind of walkable section of the Falcon (props to the centre for clarifying that on their site), but was nonetheless underwhelmed given the amount of news versus the space of the exhibit (the centrepiece of which is made up of the Build Your Own Falcon magazine kit), considering how far I drove. There is a TV playing a video which was just from a popular YouTuber talking through their own model/collection.

That aside, the rest of the center has a trove of interesting things, especially on the Sunderland. The vibe of the centre is cosy and chilled out. It wasn't a bad experience overall, but if you're going as a Star Wars fan you should be aware that that exhibit is especially small and you may come...

What a fascinating and valuably staffed museum. The availability of voluntary experts with a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm are on hand at all times. We learned so much and were able to understand so much more than imagined about the engineering, history, location and battles of the sea planes and their brave crews. About how the planes were used in Australia and New Zealand, and the Rochester company. You can sit inside a model cockpit to fly the sea plane too. The addition of the Star Wars exhibition for the last craft built at Pembroke was for some a primary driver, for us -a bonus to learn about the sheer scale. There is a cafe with lovely fresh coffee, parking is free, and if Andy is on the desk, a warm Scottish welcome awaits you. If you are any where near, you I’ll not be disappointed. We supported the fundraising by using the charity book sale, and cafe. This unique museum is staffed by committed...

Living local to the museum, we had not thought to visit before, however,during the summer, we chose to visit three local places of interest in one day, and we were amazed. Plenty of free parking, a beautiful building, filled with the history of Pembroke Dock, the flying boats and had the most amazing people working/volunteering there. The exhibits are beautiful, have been arranged well, and even features a large Star Wars section, on the building of the Millenium Falcon, the iconic starship piloted by Hans Solo. The museum features a lot of art, has exhibits you can step into, and sit in, such as the cockpit of a Sunderland type aircraft and you can finish your stay having a cup of tea at the cafe. Purchase a year ticket, or pay the family gift aid and your receipt is valid for 12 months,...
