What visitors say
Absolutely enthralling collection associated with local history. Well laid out in separate rooms for each theme on air, sea and local history. Well worth the entry (£5) and could easily spend a few hours delving into detail. Even connections of local events around 1900's to the the Suffragette movement. Warm welcome by volunteers who made the visit more engaging; plus a cafe (sit inside or out) for a break of tea/coffee and cake. Afterwards, wander 200m down the the point and watch the huge container ships on dockside.

What a little gem this museum is, detailing various local topics and facts surrounding the port. Staff all very friendly and egar to talk and explain about any items or information you are unsure or would like more detail about. Lots of wartime memorabilia and a super 80s room that has lots of OMG do you remember those moments.. Also the cafe was a real find, lots of lovely home made cakes and a decent choice of gluten free toasted sandwiches and cakes too.. Allow a good hour to look around properly. Point to note, please use the public pay and display carpark do not directly out the front of the museum, my mistake..

Small museum by the beach front and next to Felixstowe port. Good place to visit with family, kids enjoyed it as it had fun activities for them.Entry price is very reasonable. Parking is readily available

We came across this museum almost by accident - it should advertise itself more because It is a well planned and interesting museum with pleasant and knowledgeable volunteers - you should come away having learnt something new. I especially enjoyed the 80's exhibition which was delivered with an unexpected flair.
