The battleship is fabulous. It’s a self-guided tour, sometimes a bit confusing, but if you’re diligent about following the arrows, you can’t go wrong. There is so much to see, so many things to read – the snippets and memories from the crew are fascinating, humorous and poignant. You’ll spend at least 2 hours here. Worth every penny. Be aware you need to be fairly mobile, and wear good walking shoes – there are a good number of narrow ladders to go up and down. And ladies – it’s probably a good idea to wear pants when you do this tour, not skirts or dresses.

Very young kids will not get much out of this tour – one probably will only start appreciating it after one has matured some. Okay, a lot.
