I learnt about communications and our pioneers. Good wet weather option with underground bunkers and near to beach if sun does make an appearance. · via Google [Terry Mason](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117286574172064642228/reviews) ★★★★★ The communication museum very interesting place to visit, I have visited the museum several times very informative place. There is a small coffee shop or tea and bits to eat. Lots of info on how it all started and a. Under ground bunkeralso very interesting. The bunker has escape stairs, which you can climb 4 long stair cases quite steep and you must wear hard hat. It's not for the faint hearted, I took the clime on and on reaching the third stairs my legs were getting tired but made it to the top. Tere is ample parking with pay machines, they are in the process of changing them, and yes you still have to pay to enter the museum. You can also go down to the beach where the coms cables enter the sea. The road to the museum or Minac theatre is very bendy and narrow, watch for the sign post after leaving Penzance A30. Well worth a visit. · via Google [Agata W](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113420457731640630381/reviews) ★★★★★ Very good musem, nicely located.
