Very interesting venue. Kids (11 and 8) enjoyed it too. Plenty to see and do and using our Tesco vouchers meant a very good value day out. Food reasonable value and kids enjoyed sailing remote yachts on their pool. Crab fishing from the pontoon also a huge hit with the kids - great staff running this. more

We have visited the Maritime Museum each time we've been to Cornwall. It's great. We are going to Cornwall again this year and will visit the museum. It's crammed with interesting things to look at and read. There ae videos explaining things. Interactive displays. The boat sailing is great fun and takes some skill. It's not a computer game it... more

We have been visiting the Maritime Museum in Falmouth, usually twice a year, since it opened. Our children are now aged 9 and 15 and have never complained about a lack of things to do or see. If parents take an interest and point their children in the right direction there is so much for the children to explore and... more

I'm sorry the parent felt there was a problem for children viewing the museum. I saw a lot of kids inside. It wasn't the best weather for outside activities which was disappointing since I'd like to have taken some of the boat rides. I did go from the top of the tower to the bottom, but had to use the... more

We visited this attraction yesterday and after the vast amount of publicity around advertising how family friendly they were we were very disappointed. Most of the exhibits were hanging from the ceiling and could only be viewed from walkways with very high solid barriers, so our nine year old couldnt see most of them (and she isnt short either) so... more
