Voted Cornwall Family Attraction of the Year 2003 by the Good Britain Guide this exciting award winning Museum has achieved wide national acclaim for its architecture, hands-on displays, world-renowned boats and associated video footage, maritime heritage and interactive entertainment.

The Tidal Zone, the only one in Europe and one of only three in world, offers a unique ‘fish-eye’ view of life under the water and enables you to see some of our aquatic visitors! The view from the 29 metre tower is simply breathtaking. Travel through galleries which explain meteorology, navigation, history, tides and more. Enjoy a break in our Waterside cafe with unrivaled views of the one of the world's largest deepest natural harbours before tackling the model boats on the 12m pool - complete with wind tunnel.

Enhance your visit by using the Park & Ride/Float facility located on the outskirts of Falmouth.

Park at our 450 space car park and get the free bus into Falmouth Town or take the 'Falmouth Flyer' and get fast-track entry by 'sailing' down to the Museum - a unique experience not to be missed.
