This was an awesome experience. They do give Student discounts if you can show your student card. You get to freely explore the 3 different levels of the discovery ship. The museum before the ship is full of cool movies and learning experiences. Highly recommend this!
This is an excellent museum all about RRS Discovery the history of the exhibition with plenty of items to look at and of course the actual ship to board and explore. The cafe also serves nice food.
Amazing ship, can't begin to imagine the hardships the crew went through but lots of detail on board explained living circumstances at the time. Highly recommend a visit, we went round it twice and would still go back.
Fascinating look around the Discovery (ship) and a somewhat challengingly large plate of Haggis Nacho's in the café.
The Discovery Centre is worth looking around and we enjoyed the informative multi media show that is held inside the dome at the op of the building.
Then over to the V&A. We'd heard a few negative reports of this and so were pleasantly surprised that it was not too bad. And as a bonus, from inside, the building provides some lovely view of its self, both its interior and exterior.
There is not a heap of stuff to see but there were some very interesting items. And they were not pulling the con trick of charging to see things, once they've obeyed their legal obligation by allowing free entry (into the building) as per the V&A London
I really enjoyed wandering around the museum and Discovery itself. Fascinating, full of information, friendly staff great day out. The ship is something else - 2 years living on that with little heat and a load of unkempt blokes eating seals!
Discovery Point interprets the history of the RRS Discovery, with displays focusing on the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904 led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. The collections on display primarily relate to the history of the ship and the men who served on her, and they vary from navigational instruments and scientific specimens collected on the ship's expeditions to personal objects that vividly represent daily life for polar explorers of the period.
Moored at Discovery Point you will find Scott's ship RRS Discovery, where you will follow in the footsteps of him and his crew, see how they lived, what they ate, and witness their hardships and their triumphs.
A great day out for all the family.
A wonderful museum and a tribute to people, endeavour, ingenuity, courage and determination. Beautifully laid out, you are led through a story before touching the history that is the ship. A wonderful setting staffed by truly motivated people.
It was awesome. The ticket gives.ypu access for 12 months from the date of purchase, so I will definitely back soon.
What a brilliant place this is! Started up in the Dome for a brief film experience. The exhibition was really informative and quite cold so wrap up warm!
Spent about 2 hours here, but could have stayed longer. The ship is incredible and brings the expeditions to life. A little pricy, but when you read that it takes £2 million per year to keep Discovery going, it changes how you view this. Worth the visit.
Outstanding visit, ticked off my bucket list and I was not disappointed. A must visit place, even if not interested in Capt Scott or Antartic exploration.
Exhibition is well worth a visit also tells the story very well,a tour through the ship was excellent, plenty of reading to be done ✔️ .
Me and my wife visited Verdant Works and we got an annual ticket for both places .
World class exhibition.
Phenomenal, you'll need 2hrs here - at least.
Even better than I imagined. I was really rushing and there's a lot to read and watch and was struggling to complete it all in 90 minutes.
Extremely educational for all ages. One of the best exhibitions I've been to. Well done to everyone involved. Unfortunately I never had time to go up into the dome and you'll need to book a slot for this.
This is one of the many reasons to come and visit Dundee.
Very informative & interesting good to see this ship being looked after
![5]( "Recensione")
I arrived in Dundee on the Tuesday morning. As I came out of station, I could see the Discovery Point and what a fine looking building . I was invited to a conference in DISCOVERY POINT the following day. So I walked into the building and spoke to reception and asked for a wee look at the building for the people who have mobility problems. After looking at the shops and all the things that you could do in this building. I left the DISCOVERY POINT feeling very proud of being Scottish. On the following morning I arrived with my colleagues for a 4 hour course .There was coffee and tea and bottles of water. The view from our window looking at the River Tay was brilliant. We stopped for lunch and it was just what the doctor ordered. There was wraps ,sandwiches and cakes. We finished our meeting at 15.45PM. The staff that looked after us were very attentive friendly and professional. I feel like I could spend a week in the DISCOVERY POINT and still want more. I'm 63 and I enjoyed this building because it made me feel welcome.
The exhibition is terrific, very interesting and informative. Amazing to see what these men achieved, with equipment which by today's standard appear cumbersome or inadequate. Even the ship feels a little small and must have been rather cramped with all the equipment, supplies and men. The whole experience provides a real insight to the challenging conditions and heroic nature of the voyage. Staff around the exhibition were informative and helpful. The cafe on site is also good. A really enjoyable and rewarding visit.
This is a really nice piece of living history, giving visitors some insight into what it was like to explore extreme conditions of the Antartic in a big wooden box.
Interesting galleries and displays, the ship itself is in really good condition and has good access to all the important areas which you are free enjoy at your leisure.
It was not very crowded on the day we visited.
What a very interesting place to visit so much history.
Great information from photos, short films and exhibits.
The tour around the ship was great with such a feeling of what it might have been like to sail on such an amazing ship from our history.
Shop was full of interesting souvenirs.
Cafe wasn't open because of refurbishment but they had a pop up cafe outside to sit and relax after a great days tour.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful.
It's an amazing place to go. The tickets are valid for a year so you can revisit it again.
Take in the Gaia exhibit upstairs before wandering through the main museum/ route to the ship. Amazing and moving and puts some perspective on the distances involved. No extra cost. Ask at reception to add to your ticket. Ticket valid for a year so I may return for future exhibitions
Well done guys. Very well put together tour before my boarding experience
