Description
With breathtaking views from the 29m tower, one of only three natural underwater viewing locations in the world, hands-on interactives, audio visual immersive experiences, talks, special exhibitions and the opportunity to get out onto the water and discover the marine life around our coastline, this new generation of Museum has something for everyone.
The best way to get there? By boat. Use the Park & Float and sail to the Museum in a classic ferry - there is no better way to arrive than on water (June – September)
