I’ve been to other maritime museums and this one really charmed me. I loved all of the little nooks and crannies hiding mechanical surprises, the beautiful, folksy and humorous art direction, sculptures and breadth of information. Great experience for kids and adults. Only wish: more ways to understand the exhibitions showcasing how tides and winds work… I couldn’t wrap my head around it, oops! I suggest minimum an hour for quick browsers, and about two hours if you’re more curious. - some costumes you can borrow and wear - I was deeply touched by the tapestry room and how it helped us understand WW2’s impact on the people of Jersey. - as usual, polite and friendly staff - audio guide might be more helpful for the tapestry room bc it can get congested with people trying to read and use the touchscreens

Nice maritime museum charting Jerseys history. More interested in the WW2 elements though but there's enough to keep you occupied for a while. Some interactive items for kids too. Tapestry very good. Small gift shop and toilets on site.

Very informative. We liked the multi level layout and variety of exhibits. The young gentleman on the entrance was very polite.

An interesting and in many parts interactive museum that tells you all about Jersey' relationship to the sea. The Occupation Tapestries are amazing. History comes to life through skilled craftsmanship. An absolute MUST
