6 of us (14,16 years and 3 adults) spent a great 6 hours in the Dockyard and still have more to see to return another day. The annual/combined attraction ticket is a no-brainer - Victory and Warrior are outstanding.

What a great day my Father and I just spent at the Historic Dockyard, we both thought it was truly excellent. They must have built a new Car Park for this, as we did not have any parking Problems.

We have visited many 'tourist' sites on our trip. This one rated right near the top. One price included 8 different activities including a detailed tour of Portsmouth Harbour complete with stories on each of the navy ships currently in port. On-shore, the HMS Victory visit was worth the price of admission, just to see real life history. You could... more

Porstmouth Historic Dockyard offers pretty good value for money when pitted against the other UK attractions we have visited recently. We purchased a family all-inclusive ticket at £45 which allows us to return to the exhibits that we did not do today - a good option for us as we are fairly local. The day entry ticket which does not... more
