Plenty of learnings and fun interactions & a lovely playground for kids if you are considering a family visit. There is a big and medium sized cafe also, one at the entrance and the other on the first floor. This is of course a great place for adults to visit as well. Don’t miss the beautiful turner painting near the exit!
A fabulous few hours spent at the Maritime Museum.
Free entry (the exhibits also currently free) donations welcome.
(We parked at Greenwich park (max 4hrs) and only a short walk through the gorgeous park!)
Cafe and bathroom facilities.
Lifts so wheelchair accessible.

One could easily spend a full day here, learning all about the maritime world. It offers a vast array of information on many subtopics like cartography, engineering, diving, polar expeditions, submarines, sailing.. There is even a ship simulation and a map creator to teach you in a more practical way. Incredibly enriching and definitely worth a visit
Amazing museum, would highly recommend it for anyone with young children. There are lots of fun and interactive activities to keep the children entertained and the layout makes it easy to navigate. We would definitely visit again!
Great museum to spend some educational and entertaining time with children.
There is an interesting playground just beside the museum where you go outside through museum shop and cafe. There are nice long enough slides for even bigger kids to have fun.
It's pity that kids play area on the ground floor gets booked quickly during holiday terms and weekends. And it costs £3 for 45 minutes which is free during weekdays and not holiday time.
There are toilets, lifts and cafés.
I love the fact that there is a praying room for those who have daily prayers can perform whilst enjoying the time in the museum for the whole day.

A museum that's become a staple of the famous stable of museums in London, National Maritime Museum details Britain's seafaring past, from the many historical naval excursions to the heroic exploits of Lord Horatio Nelson, to the dark chapters of its role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The museum caters to the curiosity of both adults and children alike - with plenty of areas designed with the little ones in mind and café areas for refreshment and a breather. I have always been fascinated by the sea and though there are many shades to Britain's past when it comes to its role at sea, the museum opens a fascinating window into a world that shaped this island since its seafaring heydays.
An excellent experience with so much to see and do. The exhibits are wonderful, and some of the A/V information is excellent.
The museum is free too. You could easily spend several hours here.
There is also an excellent cafe area which is worth a visit.
