Let's be honest. When I learned this museum was created and run by volunteers I lowered my expectations. How wrong can you be? It is amazing. The displays are interesting, informative, and the reconstructions, ship's wheelhouse, fish market, etc are well designed and built and really tell a story. There is a lot to see and much to learn if you want to read details. Well worth visiting. Fully recommended.

A wonderful gem of a museum packed with interesting historical artefacts. A huge array of model ships and information about all aspects of maritime history including boat building and wartime events. The couple running the museum were friendly, warm and very knowledgable. The gift shop was very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend it.

Had an excellent morning out at the museum! Staff was very friendly and eager to help us look around the exhibits. Excellent value for money both entry fee wise and in terms of souvenirs; would heartily recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

Loved this museum! Greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff and then treated to an array of wonderful objects. All the exhibits were well presented and captioned and there were lots interesting objects you could touch and interact with. Well worth a visit.

Amazing museum, only cost £5 for 2 adults and 2 children but there is so much to see and do. Kids loved ringing the ships bells. Very informative talk about the history of Lowestoft, very friendly and an extremely reasonably priced gift shop. Definatly worth a visit.

Lovely museum with very friendly & helpful people running it. We took our grandchildren 3 & 8 years old to have a look round and was pleasantly surprised. Not only is it very informative with plenty of models and other items to view that you expect in a museum, they also have a school room for children. In here they can dress up in various clothes from pirates to captains, do quizzes, puzzles, colouring and generally play. This really helps when you have young children who get board easily and there's something in there for all ages. My 3 year old is obsessed with Titanic at the moment and we saw the one model, when we came out the man asked if he'd seen the other model he said no and the man took him back in to show him. They also gave the 8 year old a book on various ships through the ages. Throughout the museum there are cards that explain what everything is. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and although its small would highly recommend especially if you have children. Also don't forget to sign the visitors book. After coming out there is also a play park in the grounds and a bar/restaurant.
