Attractions in Falmouth


NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUM CORNWALL, FALMOUTH

Voted Cornwall Family Attraction of the Year 2003 by the Good Britain Guide, this exciting award-winning museum at Falmouth 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 breathtaking.

Travel through galleries which explain meteorology, navigation, history, tides and more. Enjoy a break in the Waterside cafe with wonderful views of the one of the world's largest and deepest natural harbours before tackling the model boats on the 12-metre pool, complete with wind tunnel.

Visitors can also use the park and ride/float facility located on the outskirts of Falmouth, or park in the 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.

The National Maritime Museum Cornwall is open daily from 10am to 5pm (closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day).
