Real fun for kids of all ages

Boy swinging through hatch! The Historic Dockyard's stunning 80 acre site provides a great day out for all the family. Children just love visiting our three Historic Warships with the opportunity to look through the periscope of our submarine Ocelot, imagine that they're at sea under sail on the sloop Gannet, and clamber over the Second World War destroyer HMS Cavalier.

Interactive displays in each of the main attractions include opportunities to make rope in the Ropery, fight a 17th century sea battle in the Museum of the Royal Dockyard and follow an external 'brass-rubbing' trail. Indoor and outdoor children's play areas provide plenty of space to let off steam - as do the open areas of the dockyard itself.

Our restaurant, tea shop, picnic areas and shop, together with a plentiful supply of good quality toilets and baby change facilities ensure that the needs of the whole family are well catered for at The Historic Dockyard.
