Your chance to get up close and personal with some of the Royal Navy’s most famous ships!
The Historic Dockyard is the only place in the world where you can learn this much about the Royal Navy – from the Tudor days of Henry VIII to the latest naval technology!
Walk the decks HMS Victory and see the spot where Lord Nelson died during the battle of Trafalgar. Take a tour of Britain’s first iron-hulled warship. These are just a few of the fun things to do at the Dockyard’s exciting attractions!
Portsmouth
Portsmouth Museum
A treasure trove of exhibits from every aspect of Pompey’s past, from literature to footie.
Portsmouth Museum’s fairy-tale castle turrets and pointed roofs protect the town’s precious collections of art and historical artefacts.
While looking at the museum’s paintings and fossils is cool, it’s not at as much fun as solving a mystery, so if you fancy yourself as a young Sherlock Holmes, make a beeline for the Conan Doyle gallery. The museum also has an awesome social history collection full of household items from the 17th century to the present day.
Portsmouth
Emirates Spinnaker Tower
At 170 metres tall, Portsmouth’s iconic viewing tower is taller than the London Eye.
In just 30 seconds, the lift will take you to the Spinnaker’s view decks where, on a clear day, you’ll be able to see for 23 miles in each direction. Of course, if you’re feeling fit, you could take the stairs!
View Deck 1 has glass walls and a glass floor known as the Sky Walk. You can stop for lunch on View Deck 2, where the café is. And finally, there’s the open-air Sky Deck right at the top.
