The Mary Rose

The Mary Rose is home to the Mary Rose and the thousands of artefacts that were recovered from the Solent. Built between 1509 and 1511, The Mary Rose was one of the first ships able to fire a broadside, and was a firm favourite of King Henry VIII. After a long and successful career, she sank accidentally during an engagement with the French fleet in 1545. Her rediscovery and raising were seminal events in the history of nautical archaeology. After a 34 year conservation project, the Mary Rose is now fully on display within her purpose-built museum. Please note that The Mary Rose is not included in the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard 11 Attraction Ticket. We currently offer a 10% discount to holders of a valid 11 Attraction Ticket upon its presentation at either our Visitor Centre at the main dockyard entrance (Victory Gate), or at our museum. Tickets purchased before 1st April 2018 will still be accepted until their expiration date.

Have visited this museum twice now and each time have been amazed at the restoration and historical background to life onboard in Tudor times that it provides and demonstrates. Attended a brilliant talk about the threat of French invasion at the time.

The Real Escape

The Real Escape is a unique live action “exit game” for groups of between three and six people. Locked in a room, you must solve hidden clues to find a way out. The Real Escape is suitable for friends and family groups, higher education students and as a team-building exercise for businesses. Getting in is easy. Together you can find a way out.

Deciding on the day we fancied doing an escape room we booked Mission 60. We arrived slightly early which was fine and had our video brief. Lockers are available to pop belongings in. Then it was off to the room! We got through probably half of it before we hit trouble. Asking for a couple of hints and being given one or two when it was obvious we were struggling really helped. Typically the clues were so obvious. Proper doh! moments but it meant we didn’t waste time. We managed to escape with exactly 10 minutes to spare. A lot of fun! Thank you :)

Mike at AKM Limos went over and above to ensure my son had a 10th birthday to remember! He arrived in a hummer suited and booted to pick our son up as a surprise, had all his favourite music pre downloaded and even addressed him as Mr Fletcher all day ensuring he felt like a proper VIP. Drove us around portsmouth to all the hot spots and stopped to let him out for photos and even a chip shop for lunch. I would highly recommend AKM limos to anybody looking to add a wow factor to their special day or even just for a trip out. Attention to details was second to none and wouldn’t change any part of their service it was spot on! Thanks again AKM Limos

Also including the National Museum Royal Navy Portsmouth, Action Stations, the Harbour Tours, andd the Jutland Exhibition, there's plenty to see and do. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is a great day out for all the family. Situated within a working Naval Base, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is the only place in the world to see the Royal Navy past, present and future - a must see for anyone visiting the south of England.

Reviewed By Flantheman2334 - Gosport, United Kingdom

Individually, all of the attractions in the dockyard are not particularly cheap. However, if you buy an annual "All in" ticket, then the full price is £31 online. This covers Entry to HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, National Museum of the Royal Navy Portsmouth, Action Stations, HMS M.33, Harbour Tours, Boathouse 4, Dockyard Apprentice, Royal Navy Submarine Museum and Explosion Museum of Naval Firepower !!! And for a year!" Excellent value. The Mary Rose is an additional £18, which makes it by far the most expensive.

Portsmouth Museum

Reviewed By Smasscher - East Sussex, United Kingdom

This is a lovely museum in a lovely building. The exhibits are well laid out, and unlike many other museums, the lighting is good enough that you can actually see them! The gallery on holidaying in the Portsmouth are were interesting and some of them were fun. The Sherlock Holmes exhibition is very good, I never knew there were so many books and how widely the character of Holmes was appreciated around the world. There was an art exhibition on and that was good too. The staff were lovely. The little cafe nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. And it is free entry! Amazing. Although we would have been happy to pay.

HMS Warrior 1860

As you arrive at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, the stunning sleek, black lines of Britain's first iron-hulled, armoured warship, take your breath away. Warrior, launched in 1860, was the pride of Queen Victoria's fleet. Powered by steam and sail, she was the largest, fastest and most powerful ship of her day and had a profound effect on naval architecture. Warrior was, in her time, the ultimate deterrent. Yet within a few years she was obsolete. Restored and back at home in Portsmouth, Warrior now serves as a ship museum, monument, visitor attraction, private venue and more.

I visited with my young daughter and this was our first stop of the day. She really is still today an amazing ship. We spent a great deal of time looking around and found the volunteers on board most helpful and friendly. I highly recommend visiting the gentleman who does the knots at the front of the gun deck, he was brilliant and my daughter loved watching him work. We will certainly be coming back to visit again.
