I didn’t think she would be as truly amazing as she was! The Mary Rose was a warship for 34 years under the Sea sunken for 437 years. She has now been raised for more than 40 years, unbelievable to think that Henry the eighth walked upon this ship! It is history itself.

Was concerned (given the ticket price) that this would feel a waste of money. But actually it was worth every penny! Vividly remember watching them raise her on TV at school (I was 6) and the history has fascinated me ever since. The whole museum is cleverly constructed showing all the finds in place. Staff / volunteers are more than happy to answer questions and we gained a lot of insight from talking to them. Just looking at the ship is awe inspiring - I loved that the top floor is open. The only thing that didn't quite work for us was the 4D show. We spent nearly 3 hours (had to be ushered out at closing) and it really wasn't long enough to see everything.

So glad we went straight to the Mary Rose museum on entering the historic dockyard at 10.30 as there is loads to see and you should allow more than the 1 to 2 hours Trip Advisor suggests. After 3 hours we still feel we could see more. The tour includes a film, guides, loads of stories about individual crew members as well as a long walk down through the building wirh multiple views of the ship herself. At every turn there is more to see and we will come back to do it. My only complaint was that I needed a drink of water but there is nowhere to get any except the cafe at the end. Otherwise the best museum we have ever seen. Loved it!

Fabulous experience. Lots to see amazing conservation of a truly unique ship. Over 19,000 artefacts recovered from a ship 500 years brneath the ocean. You need at least 2-3 hours seeing the exhibits There is a great 3D cinema experience too Plenty of vage and gift shops too. Wear comfy shoes as there is plenty of walking. It was a great birthday idea from a friend Would recommend

This is a brilliantly conceived exhibition , totally absorbing , full of Tudor character. The entrance fee is high but you can see why. The extra touches such as facial reconstructions of sailors whose skeletons & their possessions were recovered are so well done . The slow reveal of the ships remains , leaving the view from the top deck where you pass into an atmospherically controlled arena as the highlight. I commend the design & would recommend the visit if you love your Tudor history.

Superb in every way! Stunning. The 4D film was amazing. They portray the whole story of the ship so well for any age to be enthralled. My son who usually finds museums boring was transfixed! An absolute must-do

Again we came up to Portsmouth and spend our holidays in the Historic Dockyard. We love all exhibitions specially the Mary Rose. The History of the ship is amazing and everything there is inside the museum is superb. The new 4D cinema adds an extra enjoyable fixture to the place. Highly recommend to visit the Mary Rose

Great experience and the kids loved it (2 x under 10). So much to see. The underwater 4d experience was fabulous. Possibly the best part of the naval base but it is so expensive. I’m all for paying for the upkeep of our history but over £100 for 3 attractions. Way too much

Each time we visit there is more to see. Unlike in the early days when the Mary Rose was shrouded and having preserving chemicals sprayed on to her making visibility difficult, now it is possible to view the ship clearly, albeit in a subdued light. Great exhibitions on several levels of a multitude of artefacts rescued with the ship. Also many great stories being told. An absolute must-see!

My visit to the Mary Rose yesterday was an exhilarating experience. Athough I have visited it before I was amazed to discover that I'd missed a great deal on my first visit. It appears there is always something new to see and lots more to learn about. The credit for this is down to the guide we had on our Premium Tour who goes by the name of 'Friday Tony'. He was hugely knowledgeable and made the experience much more interesting and awe inspiring. There was anecdotal and background information that you just would not have known unless you were told. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this historic ship. In fact I can't recommend it enough. And if you are lucky enough to secure 'Friday Tony' as your guide on a Premium Tour you will not regret it. You will be transported back to 1545 in a way that you could not imagine.
