Visited this venue 5 years ago and were not disappointed with our return today. Such a superbly organised space with knowledgeable and friendly staff (and a lovely cafe). There’s so much to take in one visit doesn’t actually suffice. We bought a joint ticket with the Verdant jute museum in advance and saved a lot of money (you can return within a year to these venues for free if you keep your card). Naturally seeing round the Discovery ship was a highlight and quite awe-inspiring. I’d recommend anyone to go to Discovery Point - you’ll never think about snow the same way again!

This is one of Dundee's jewel in their crown. An excellent venue very well put together and we would encourage everyone who can to gift aid this venue. The various interactive exhibits, and the static ones give great depth to Scott and his story. Not forgetting the story of the rest. The ship itself has clearly been cared for well, though in need of more care as it ages, but then again, don't we all! With the pass lasting upto a year, this is a more than value for money venue where you can hide from the bad weather or keep the kids entertained. A very well rounded experience that we will be sure to revisit on our next adventure

Discovery Point was great - very interesting and there were also things that children could do which kept them interested. The ship was fantastic and really interesting. Afterwards (3pm) we went to the cafe for a hot bite to eat or soup (it was a cold day). We were told by the staff in the cafe that they had stopped serving hot food and could only offer hot drinks and cakes. We were so disappointed and hungry. Due to travelling we didn't manage to get lunch before we arrived. Instead we left Discovery Point and went to McDonalds for lunch instead. An absolute disgrace to stop serving hot food in the middle of the afternoon, especially at the weekend.

A wonderfully curated little exhibition on Captain Scott, Shackleton and Artic exploration. The information was presented well, videos very well made and a treasure trove of artefacts which were fascinating. Throughout they had placed interactive displays for children and families to enjoy which were also educational and tied in well with the history of the expedition. A wonderful little gem of a museum. A special mention for Derek on the front desk who was so kind, helpful and good humoured with us on our trip. He was a star!

A great day trip from our Lochs and Glens holiday. Discovery Point museum holds many interesting facts and artifacts about Captain Scott and his crew’s mission to the Antarctic. There are 2 screens with films before and during their hazardous journey. The ship itself was brought back to Dundee and restored. She is berthed just outside and you can go onboard to see where the crew slept and the conditions they lived in. I can remember being told Captain Scott’s story but this really brings it to life.

A nice museum with lots to discover. The ship is amazing and the contents of museum really help bring the importance of the expedition to life for the visitor Despite having a cafe listed on its website sadly this was not the case. The lack of onsite refreshments diminished our enjoyment of our visit and we left early to get a hot drink elsewhere

Great afternoon spent exploring the museum and ship. The man on the front desk was pleasant and helpful, the amount of seats whilst going round was convenient for viewing short films and there was plenty for kids to see/do. Unfortunately, the cafe was closed but will visit that next time.

We had a really good visit, lots of great information, easy to follow guide, the dome was very interesting too. Would be good to see the cafe open. It seems a shame that it's closed. Just serving teas and coffees with a cake or scone simple but effective.

This was absolutely fantastic experience. The museum gives all illustrations of Captain Scott and the men that went to the Antarctica on the Discovery. The ship was brilliant to look around and photograph. We were lucky the sun came out. Worth every penny. Shame the cafe wasn’t open , but it didn’t spoil our day.

This site consists of a number of museum galleries providing information relating to naval Captain Scott's research expedition to the Antarctic, over 100 years ago. Also, and as the main attraction is the actual ship (RRS Discovery), which can also be visited. The museum is well laid out with a number of static and interactive displays and videos showing details of the expedition. At many points around the ship, there are information boards relating to the items and areas being seen and visited. They relate to the conditions experienced during the expedition. We found that overall the interior area of the ship was larger than we had perceived from the outside. It is very well presented. The museum area has a shop and cafe, although the cafe appeared to have a limited offering. Overall a very worthwhile visit.
