Hi, Most visitors stay at the museum for half a day, but you could easily spend the whole day exploring - with a submarine, navy destroyer, the replica of James Cooks endeavour, 6 permanent galleries and the new Action Stations exhibit with its interactive discovery tables there is plenty to see and do. YOTs café onsite is the perfect spot to stop for lunch when you need to refuel. If you are visiting during the summer school holidays, the Horrible Histories pirate exhibit will be perfect for your kids and there are plenty of extra kids activities on too - all included in the Big Ticket. Hope that helps!
