Play at being a submarine commander in our interactive galleries and relax in our great coffee shop overlooking Portsmouth Harbour.

Not very big but very interesting! You can see the first British submarine, HMS Holland, but also two submarines from WW II, HMS X24 and HMS Alliance. You can also find out a lot of information about life on board a submarine, how they are made, their missions and much more. Attention, even if you have already bought a ticket that includes all the objectives in Portsmouth Historic Dockyards and the museums in Gosport, to visit the most interesting exhibit HMS Alliance, you must first enter the museum building, at the ticket office, to make an appointment visit entry is only in small groups, at certain time intervals.
We really enjoyed our visit. I was a bit worried as we have a VERY lively 8 year old. But he took an interest in everything. I think my husband could have spent all day in the submarine looking at all the switches, wires and pipes. It was interesting what life would have been like living inside HMS Alliance. The volunteers were really knowledgeable and put the group at ease. We would definitely return.
Truly a day well spent, the Royal Navy Submarine Museum is fully loaded to entertain, intrigue & fascinate anyone of any age. To be able to take a guided tour of HMS Alliance was a real privilege, the guide on my tour was a submariner who was able to breathe life into that old submarine. HMS Alliance is a star for the museum but there are many gems to wander at here. The best advice I have is, if you can get the "ULTIMATE EXPLORER" ticket which will grant you access to a host of attractions at Portsmouth Harbour like HMS Victory, HMS Warrior & the Mary Rose. The Ultimate Explorer ticket allows you unlimited visits for a whole year. Great Great value
Make sure you get in the queue for the boat to get here early as there are a limited number you can get in one journey. Times are regular though if you miss the first one. I totally enjoyed my trip here. So much to look at. Lots of history. Very friendly staff. I've always wanted to visit here and it didn't disappoint. I recommend the walk around HMS alliance submarine. Like inside any submarine if you're tall mind your head. There are staff inside it to answer any of your questions. There is a cafe inside the main building to grab a drink while you're walking around. Prices are reasonable there. I'm going to give it a very well deserved 5 *
Great trip, not all activities are suitable for disabled people unfortunately as the HMS Alliance is a tight squeeze and not wheel chair accessible. The rest of the exhibits are quite informative and plenty of smaller interactive activities for children. You can pay more to see other naval attractions in Portsmouth which is good for a full day out and they have a ferry onsite at specific times.
Museum included as part of the Navy Museum in Portsmouth. Is not as big or as long as the other exhibitions but it is quite unique, as not many museums let you visit the inside of a submarine. I would highly recommend checking the boat timings for reaching the facilities, as it is in the other shore where most of the parts of the museum are and going by boat is required. The boat trip is included in the ticket and the visit of the submarine takes around 15 to 30 minutes. Highly recommended.
Great historic Submarines to explore. Very exciting to be able to go aboard and experience what it was like inside. The staff were great at providing us with knowledge and answering any questions.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
I would definitely recommend a visit to the submarine! We got the ferry from the main historic side, over to the museum, then only had to wait for the next tour, which is every 20mins or so. With a little introduction talk at the beginning from an experienced man who had worked on one of the submarines, you come away with little nuggets of real understanding, before then heading through the sub with the group, following in a line. I would recommend buying the yearly pass as you can visit as many attractions onsite and as many times as you like in the year - definitely worth the price!
Brilliant experience. This is a must do to see inside an actual submarine. Bare in mind it is very narrow to walk through with very little space to manouver, but that is what a sub is. Well worth a visit. This is also on the Historic Dockyard Ultimate Explorer ticket.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
A gem being able to go on & walk through a ww2 submarine was fantastic & the people explaining life on board are brilliant had us all laughing. Got the yearly ticket so will be backVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
