Cumberland Prehistoric Museum

A very kid friendly, tactile display taking you through a fairly eclectic mix of maritime history. We were only having a quick look around it's free but sure you could spend half a day there going into more detail if you wish. The grounds it's set in are also stunning and the view up the hill to the observatory a paid experience itself back onto London are stunning.

A great place for people with an interest in boats and naval architecture. It's a free museum set up in wonderful gardens of the queen's house and Greenwich line. It pays tribute to London's leading place in maritime history. The Pacific, Atlantic and trade sections have great presentations on the geopolitics of the early maritime trade. Did not feel crowded at all. Nice restrooms and a cafe on the first floor.

Absolutely amazing place, in the heart of Greenwich, for a fan of sea and history. I visited on my own, but I can say it is definitely a place for the whole family,as there's plenty of fun stuff for younger and older kids. Took me 3 hours to go through every floor and I'm definitely going back for more. Every display worth a while, so much to enjoy and to learn. Café and a restaurant offers nice selection of food and drink. Plenty of toilets on each floor, so no worries in that department. Couldn't recommend more!

It is a very big and interesting museum, we didn’t have enough time to see the whole exhibition but enjoyed it very much. I bought a book on the collection from the gift store for a very reasonable price. The building it self and the parks surrounding are very beautiful. People of all ages would enjoy this museum.

I am a bit disappointed with the historical exhibition which is modest. It is definitely a good place for families, there are many multimedia solutions. In the afternoon Good Friday it was very loud and chaotic. The museum is free so there is nothing to be picky about but I was expecting something more.Visited onPublic holidayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes

Very good place to spend a Sunday with friends and family. A lot of great things to learn and discover. The only poor thing is the shop, nothing much to buy and I couldn't find any magnets. Rest of our experience was great.

The info on Lord Nelson was interesting, there wasn't much on Wellington. Shackleton I also think should have had a bigger section devoted. I was looking for info on John Harrison regarding his maritime watches and how Greenwich became the centre of World time, but disappointingly there wasn't much. Free to enter so worthwhile for all to come and learn about how important the British Navy was at maintaining the Empire.

Not too crowded even in Saturday afternoon, a lot of knowledge about maritime history provided. After visiting the museum, all families can have a picnic outside in the Greenwich park. It is an amazing experience to have on weekend

One of the top destination in Greenwich, The National Maritime Museum is the largest museum of its kind in the world to learn about maritime history. It is very friendly for kids, many engagement activities here for family and children. Don't forget to take a photo of the Ship in a Bottle in front of the museum, discover tales of polar exploration, and learn more about the indigenous communities that live in the Arctic and Antarctic, find your favourite figurehead which are carved wooden sculptures that traditionally sat on the prows of sailing ships, learn about the British hero Nelson and his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar 1805.

Greenwich is just beautiful. Only 15-20 minute train journey from central London. Museum is free you can donate. You can easily spend a few hours there. So much to see Pacific section, Polar section, etc.. My favourite place in London.
