This was an awesome experience. They do give Student discounts if you can show your student card. You get to freely explore the 3 different levels of the discovery ship. The museum before the ship is full of cool movies and learning experiences. Highly recommend this!
This is an excellent museum all about RRS Discovery the history of the exhibition with plenty of items to look at and of course the actual ship to board and explore. The cafe also serves nice food.
Amazing ship, can't begin to imagine the hardships the crew went through but lots of detail on board explained living circumstances at the time. Highly recommend a visit, we went round it twice and would still go back.
Fascinating look around the Discovery (ship) and a somewhat challengingly large plate of Haggis Nacho's in the café.
The Discovery Centre is worth looking around and we enjoyed the informative multi media show that is held inside the dome at the op of the building.
Then over to the V&A. We'd heard a few negative reports of this and so were pleasantly surprised that it was not too bad. And as a bonus, from inside, the building provides some lovely view of its self, both its interior and exterior.
There is not a heap of stuff to see but there were some very interesting items. And they were not pulling the con trick of charging to see things, once they've obeyed their legal obligation by allowing free entry (into the building) as per the V&A London
I really enjoyed wandering around the museum and Discovery itself. Fascinating, full of information, friendly staff great day out. The ship is something else - 2 years living on that with little heat and a load of unkempt blokes eating seals!
Discovery Point interprets the history of the RRS Discovery, with displays focusing on the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904 led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. The collections on display primarily relate to the history of the ship and the men who served on her, and they vary from navigational instruments and scientific specimens collected on the ship's expeditions to personal objects that vividly represent daily life for polar explorers of the period.
Moored at Discovery Point you will find Scott's ship RRS Discovery, where you will follow in the footsteps of him and his crew, see how they lived, what they ate, and witness their hardships and their triumphs.
A great day out for all the family.
A wonderful museum and a tribute to people, endeavour, ingenuity, courage and determination. Beautifully laid out, you are led through a story before touching the history that is the ship. A wonderful setting staffed by truly motivated people.
It was awesome. The ticket gives.ypu access for 12 months from the date of purchase, so I will definitely back soon.
What a brilliant place this is! Started up in the Dome for a brief film experience. The exhibition was really informative and quite cold so wrap up warm!
Spent about 2 hours here, but could have stayed longer. The ship is incredible and brings the expeditions to life. A little pricy, but when you read that it takes £2 million per year to keep Discovery going, it changes how you view this. Worth the visit.
Outstanding visit, ticked off my bucket list and I was not disappointed. A must visit place, even if not interested in Capt Scott or Antartic exploration.
