Hello....they told me that the place was closed and I see that it is like that, I read TEMPORARILY, but it has been like this since the pandemic...I hope they do those renovations and they will open soon...for me, those visits in 2018 are unforgettable. Thank you !!! DE from Argentina.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Fantastic museum with parts of the U boat outside and lots of info inside and a good gift shop. The museum was free to go in with the family ticket we purchased for the return trip on the ferry to get across to Liverpool: the ferry trip was lovely with recorded info playing as you sailed across the Mersey! lots of good photo opportunities : better than trying to park in Liverpool! We parked at Monks ferry and walked to the ferry terminal where the u boat story is and there is also a nice food court area where we had tea later. £40 return trip for 4 if us on the ferry to Liverpool and that included entry to the U boat story. The museums in Liverpool are free so we had a good, cheap day out. dissapointed with amount of litter at Monks ferry... we did litter pick but weren't able to get it all as there was too much and the amount of litter washed up from the river was very depressing
I am actually astounded at the number of poor reviews on here. I have never seen anything like this place; this is one of the most advanced U-Boats ever made, perfectly preserved it filled with silt when it sunk, cut open and put on display for an evidently ungrateful..? public. The indoor section of the museum is particularly fascinating—personal effects of the sailors, military necessities and a million other little things were preserved perfectly under 70 meters of seawater for half a century before being painstakingly raised, preserved and displayed with explanations and context provided. The whole thing is a marvel. The place was deserted when I was there. I spent 90 mins taking it all in, parts of it with mouth-agape. The audio stories from the men who personally served on U-534 were particularly riveting and enlightening. Entry was included in the 10£ ferry tour. I would have paid 10£ happily just for the museum, and I’m a 20-something on a hostel budget. The whole grounds were spotless, which lack of cleanliness seems to be the basis for a lot of these petty 1 star reviews. Who are these philistines who would give an unbelievable historical attraction one star for a bit of rubbish left by ANOTHER SILLY TOURIST JUST LIKE YOU?? For shame.
This small museum tells the story of a German submarine sunk by British forces at the end of WWII and then resurfaced by a Danish organisation. The submarine itself is preserved in parts outside of the museum. The entrance to the museum and the yard with the submarine is included in the ticket for the Mersey boat trip. Well worth it - we'd recommended a visit. Allow yourself an hour to read everything.
an excellent and inivitave way to preserve the raised hull of U534, I had the privilege of visiting U534 at its former home the historical warship museum and I was devastated when the land its was based at was put up for sale and the ships moved, the hull has now been cut into sections with viewing windows at either and end and a museum of sorts displays all the artifacts from inside, all this is based at the mersey ferries birkenhead ferry port and entrance is include with the ferry ticket. there is a nice food hall with multiple food outlets and a very nice outdoor seating area over looking the mersey on side and the submarine on the other.
Very interesting. Considering this uboat was recovered from the ocean ground - it's in really good shape... It even still smells like old diesel. Included when taking the round trip ferry from Liverpool, good value.
Well to be fair, I was naively expecting a bright yellow submarine that I could wonder around inside and experience conditions for life inside a sub. Maybe the 'Fab Four' at the door singing; We all live in a yellow submarine. Sensibly, they have salvaged a sunken WW2 German submarine and are in the painstaking, arduous processes of restoring it. There are several sections of the sub on display and you can see and envisage ghostly evidence of a catastrophic ending, inside the remains of it, from a purpose built viewing platform. The site for the U-boat Story is within Woodside ferry terminal, and what a great site it is. An ace eating and drinking area, both inside and outside on the sundeck terrace. Ordering a pizza is simple and they will page you when it's ready. This area together with inside dining, push the whole experience to four star. You will enjoy it, especially if you arrive on the ferry from the Pier Head, because that ferry ticket allows free entrance to the U-boat Story.
Extremely fascinating and informative. Admission price was included with the ferry ticked. A remarkable and unusual way to display this WWII German U-Boat. Definitely give this a visit.
We visited the submarine a few times whilst they were cutting the sub up. Lovely to see it desplayed so well my grandson loved it
