What visitors say
Nice small museum with a giftshop. There is a great audio-video presentation upstairs showing Captain Cooks voyages. Definetly worth to visit. The admission is free. The owner is a very kind person.

As my family have ancestral links to Captain Cook I was interested to visit this museum as I was in the area. However at 3pm on a Friday during school holidays it wasn’t open. Nothing on the door to say why. Disappointed. I’m sure it would have been very interesting 🤨

Excellent tourist attraction celebrating one of Cleveland's most famous sons, Captain James Cook, explorer, extraordinaire. Well worth a visit :)

Wonderful mini museum. Three generations of our family visited together aged from 74 to 7 years. We spent a good hour filling in the free quizzes provided by the lovely friendly and helpful volunteers in the shop downstairs. Upstairs (lift available) museum packed full of interesting and interactive history and information about Captain Cook and the local area. Free entry but donations well deserved.
