What visitors say
A fascinating museum that brings Southampton’s maritime history to life. SeaCity Museum is engaging and well-presented, especially the Titanic exhibits, definitely worth a visit if you're nearby. It's not as immersive as the one in Ireland but still it felt so heavy to witness the history. And its not only about Titanic but medieval history too! 🚢⚱️

Wow, what an amazing museum, there's so much to see with lots of interactive bits which is great for kids. The museum is divided into 3 sections, 2 upstairs and one down. One of these is the bit about the Titanic. I was impressed how good this was, in my opinion almost better than the Belfast one. Lot's to see and not too much information to be overwhelming. You can spend a good part of the day here and there's an activity trail for kids. The cafe is great and serves delicious sandwiches and pannis which are freshly made. The hot chocolate is also delicious and the staff are so friendly.

Good museum. I'd say a bit expensive for what it promises but fantastic visit for a morning. Not much Titanic memorabilia (most of it it's from the Olympic) but it tells the human side of the tragedy like nowhere else, especially in the investigations section. Lots of interactive parts too (bad day as it was first Saturday in mid term break so full of children). Part with history of the city is very interesting too, sadly not a huge collection (hopefully bigger in the future?) I definitely recommend visiting it, but I'd have hoped for a bit more, otherwise 5 stars. Also, souvenir shop is ridiculously priced...nearly £5 for a magnet?...
