An Absolute Gem Of A "Find" In Great Yarmouth. The Experience Covers The Full History Of The Herring Industry Of Great Yarmouth, With So Much More Included From The Early Bronze Age Through To The Romans (What Did They Ever Do For Us!! LOL). Then Through A Fascinating Exhibition Of Great Yarmouths Connections To The Titanic, Onto The Great War And The Second World War, Culminating In A Star Wars Exhibition. It Is A Vibrant Interactive Experience Certainly Not "Stuffy Or Starchy" In Any Way, Adults And Kids Alike Will Love It. Very Very Friendly, Professional And Knowledgeable Staff. My Wife And I Were There 3 Hours And To Be Honest Given The Time Could have Spent All Day. BRILLIANT!!

Went today for a backstage tour. Ridiculously cheap (£3), lasted well over an hour, very informative and fun. Do go to a future tour. You won't regret it.
