What visitors say

Dani van Riet

I was pleasantly surprised! I explored the ship on my own pace with an audio guide. I went on a sunday and it was really calm. I loved how interactive it was and how you could walk freely through the ship. Also the admission taken is valid for a year so great for other visits! Also the money they make on the gifts in the gift shop goes back into HMS Caroline. P.s Don't miss out on puff the cat 🐱

We had a fantastic visit! A volunteer named John in the wardroom took us under his wing and shared so much great insight—we would have missed so much without his knowledge. Overall, it was a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours.
