The bits we didn’t get to see!

We didn’t have enough time to visit everything that is included in the explorer ticket that we purchased (good job it’s valid for a year).

Action Stations: Commando Experience, this includes a laser tag area, ropes course, assault course and climbing wall.

Both the Explosion Museum and RN Submarine Museum are part of the Historic Dockyard but are located in Gosport (across the harbour). To access these, you can take the water taxi.
