You MUST check website for open days, which are some Wednesdays, and entrance is FREE with donations welcomed. Several knowledgeable old boys in attendance who are very keen to share their knowledge, with considerable humility, I have to say. Naval history from 1600s to recent past. The model ships get biggER and BIGGER as you go round. No sub available in August 2024, but there is a fully working periscope through you can look across Plymouth, pick a target and shout 'Close torpedo tubes' & 'Fire!!' At least an hour's fun and education.

A thoroughly fascinating place crammed full of memorabilia and ephemera about the Royal Navy and the dockyard at Devonport. It's a surprisingly large place, with exhibits over several floors and across different buildings. What it lacks in slick modern presentation it more than makes up with heart and enthusiastic volunteers who are more than happy to talk and explain the exhibits.

Since Wednesday was the last day of opening this year, I drove from Gloucestershire to visit the museum for the first time. I was not disappointed. The volunteers were helpful and very knowledgeable. The sights and smells brought life back into memory from all those years ago! Thank you for a cracking display! I’ll be back next year!

Not advertised very well but it is well worth a visit, so much navy history, the guided tour was brilliant with Ray ex submariner. Allow 3 to 4 hours as there is so much to see. Parking is available. Entry is free they just ask for a donation, tea and coffee free.

Well worth a visit. So many interesting things to look at. Run by volunteers with years of experience, who are happy to talk about the exhibits at length if you would like that. They work on a donation basis so make sure to pop some money in the pot.
