A hidden gem and a great place to visit. I didn't know there was so many interesting artefacts and historical information. The staff/people are very polite and knowledgable. It's lot bigger than you think so if you go allow an hour or so to go around the centre.

Good value ticket, £31 gets you into everything except the Mary Rose and it’s valid for a year. We saw HMS Warrior, HMS Victory, Boathouse Number 4, had a Harbour tour (saw both HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Elizabeth) and a trip across the water to tour the submarine, HMS Alliance. Even if we never come back that was £31 well spent. The café in Boathouse 7 was a disappointment, poor selection and expensive. Plus they had run out of Earl Grey Tea, That smacks of very poor stock management. Most of the staff were very good, knowledgeable and friendly, with the exception of one lady as you went on board the HMS Victory that didn’t think the weight of metal a warship could fire in a broadside was important! Parking is nearby and reasonably priced, we paid £9 for the day
3. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7,987 reviews
Featuring world famous ships HMS Victory and HMS Warrior 1860. Plus visit HMS Alliance, the only remaining WW2 era British ocean going submarine, and the M33, the sole remaining British veteran of the bloody Dardanelles Campaign of 1915-1916. 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.

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.
