The Jersey War Tunnels is a remarkable museum in Jersey that showcases the island's experience during the Nazi occupation between 1940 to 1945. Located in an underground complex built by Germans during World War II, this museum offers interactive displays, wartime footage and sound effects that walk visitors through the British government's decision not to defend Channel Islands, local privations, slave labor used to construct these tunnels, deportations of British-born families to Germany and Jersey's eventual liberation.
A truly remarkable, moving and incredible experience and well presented and preserved tribute to the slave labour that cut this labyrinth of tunnels that include recreations of WW2 occupation of Jersey and the other channel Islands by Nazis. A good sized car park with a well stocked cafe and souvenir shop. Buying entry tickets in advanc advised but not apparently essential.
Derek Williams — Google review
It does an excellent job of giving visitors access to the tunnels and setting out the story of the occupation and the liberation.
However, whilst there's a lot of information I can't help feeling some more inventive displays and some interactive exhibits would lift it to a new level.
Keith ?Cito? Barry — Google review
We liked how the museum is structured, it's a stroll through several rooms lined along a long chronological corridor. It takes about an hour or more, depending on how much time you have for details. The entrance ticket is interesting; it's a sort of identity document of someone you have to identify within the informational panels of the museum. It's a good history lesson for both kids and adults.

What an experience. Peacefully located out of the way in Jersey, this was our first visit to the War Tunnels. Atmospheric, educational and some excellent museum style exhibits. Smart, well looked after, with a lovely coffee and croissant after. The shop was well stocked and managed to get some toys for the children. Definitely worth a visit.
Justinbartha 73 — Google review
Not as impressive as hoped, and we were looking forward to it.
Long slow queue to buy tickets - if you get them in advance you're straight in via the fast track.
Too much text and pictures on boards etc - not enough artifacts you can touch. Every section of tunnel the same. There are some rooms modelled and set up. The most interesting was the unfinished sections. More old motorbikes than you can point a stick at.
Most of the info on the display boards can be found on line I would suggest.
I'm a bit on the fence about £15pp entry fee - but it is a must do when in Jersey I guess.
Oh - NO toilets once inside, prepare for 2-3 hrs.
Wheelchairs are fine, Can hire mobility scooter if required.

Heel interessant en gaaf om te zien. Zeker als je in bent voor wat geschiedenis. Wel een jasje aan als je de tunnels ingaat het is er nogal fris.
Mijn dochter van 12 vond het zeer interessant.
Ligt in de mooie omgeving van Jersey, een prachtige route om naartoe te rijden.

Very interesting and cool to see. Especially if you're in for some history. Do wear a jacket when you enter the tunnels, it is quite chilly.
My 12 year old daughter found it very interesting.
Located in the beautiful area of Jersey, a beautiful route to drive.

If you come to Jersey and don't visit the Jersey War Tunnels you are missing out on a truly engaging and informative experience. It really gives you a feel for what it was like in Jersey during the German occupation. A must visit. Wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Recommend allowing 1:30 - 2hrs to complete the experience.

It's over 10 years since we last visited this attraction and the displays have improved significantly. Anyone interested in the German occupation of Jersey in WW2 will learn a lot about the experiences of the resident population and their occupiers.

Once I booked my short break away to Jersey, this place was a must visit. It's got a rich history and was great to see inside, and get a glimpse of what it must of been like back then. There's a great wide-screen digital display in there which gives us some great information. Took me about 90min to go around the place. Defo recommend if in Jersey.

Very well made. Loved the details of the exhibition. Take your time to read the stories and information behind the tunnels. Definitely worth the time.
Give the Jersey Wonder a try in the cafe afterwards 👍🏻
Alan Mogensen — Google review
One of the things that you should definitely do when you visit jersey. They give it a nice little touch by giving you the identity card of one of the residents that lived in Jersey during the war and their story behind it. The tunnels are all well maintained and guided audio gives you every bit of information you'd need. All in all a fantastic experience for all ages alike. They've got a nice cafe around the reception as well. Recommend this.
Krishna S — Google review
We found this place emotional and very interesting. It holds a lot of history and so much meaning for the people of Jersey. There were one or two things that had no information attached but assumption tended to make sense of it. Entry was expensive. There is a sign to say the tunnels can get very cold so bring something as at times it’s needed. Didn’t go to the cafe but used the toilets and they were spotless.
Maliblue Roo — Google review
I learnt quite a lot during my visit to The War Tunnels, however they need to take a serious look at the speakers as it is difficult to hear with the fans going. Also the soldier snoring could be heard in Guernsey!!! Way too loud. I think it's really quite expensive for what it is, needs a few quid spending on it and some toilets down there!! Think children would be very bored so it's a grown up thing! Also wrap up as it is absolutely freezing!!
Lisa Meadwell — Google review
Without doubt one of the best preserved tunnels and well presented history of the World War II in Jersey Island.
The facilities are great too. There’s a coffee/snacks shop, car park and toilet facilities at the visitors centre.
Entry tickets are a bit expensive at £17 for an adult, £16 for age 16 plus with an ID and £11 for children 5-15.

Unbelievable place. So very thought provoking and a true insight into the reality of living under occupation. Great mix of modern technology to tell the story along with genuine artifacts from the time period. A 100% must see if you visit the island. You won't regret it.
Steve Picot — Google review
The history of Jersey's occupation and the upheaval it caused for lives across the island was laid out in a balanced and informative way. I only gave three stars because the entry fee was a little steep. Aside from one clear and snappy visual projection, the other exhibits were pretty wordy. The audio guide was not as informative as I expected. Overall, the facilities were clean and it was easy to find my way around.
Stuart R — Google review
Fascinating insight to a very difficult time in Jersey's history. The tour explores all the aspects to war time jersey and the role the tunnels played in that. Worth a visit and if booked ahead of time means going straight in rather than waiting in the queue at the ticket office.

Elizabeth Castle is a historical fortress situated on two interconnected islets in St Aubin's Bay, guarding the entrance to the harbor. It was originally established as a 6th-century hermitage and later transformed into an abbey before being rebuilt by Elizabeth I as a 16th-century castle. The fortress played significant roles in both the Civil War and World War II. Visitors can explore various areas like battlements, bunkers, Upper Ward, Hermitage Rock and two museums.
Brilliant day out and worth the £16 inc. ferry/bus (amphibious bus) travel.
Such a massive site, 25 acres I think the lady said when we arrived. Took us approx 4hrs to totally investigate all Nook's and Crannies.
Lovely tea shop on the island with some great coffee and tea, scones and jam.
The hut to book your ferry ride and castle entrance ticket is just opposite the The grand Jersey Hotel on the main promenade. Don't make the mistake we did and follow Google maps to the ferry terminal 😂
Matthew Silk — Google review
Great ride to and from castle in amphibious craft, theme staff & safety video were fun. Welcome and guidance at castle great & your made interesting & fun. Self guide app also excellent. Views from top are amazing. Watch out for the tide if walking! Check on weather as boat will not go when windy. Kiosk attendant very helpful.
Susan Susan — Google review
Elizabeth Castle was one of the castles in Jersey that was used by the British to defend its sovereignty from the French in during the war. I learnt a lot from the trip. Our guide was funny and extremely welcoming. Based on the weather, I’d advise you get on the ferry to get to the castle. There’s a ride every 30minutes to the castle. Just make sure you’re ready to relax and enjoy yourself.
Highly recommended.
Oluwayomi Oni — Google review
An amazing castle with so much history and a must see in St Helier. Best to get a ferry and tour which takes approx 3 hours to complete but the guides are very helpful and knowledgeable especially Juliette who took us around. Stunning views throughout although was very windy when we went in April. We were also able to see a live demonstration of a Musket being fired! The ticket office to book a tour is located a short walk down the main promenade from Liberation Square (don't go to the main ferry station). You can also walk across the causeway when the tide is out from the ticket office.
Christopher Dias — Google review
If you are visiting Jersey, this is a must-do place to visit. It’s a fantastic castle, steeped in history, with multiple layers over the ages. There is a lot to see here. You can also walk to the castle, get the amphibious vehicles are so much fun or do both.
You can walk around most of the castle and the views from the pier behind the castle are worth the walk. There are some rock formations here that are really unique and colourful. It also gives you the perspective from the original foundations to the WWII turret sat on top.
This is somewhere I would highly recommend.
Andy Smith — Google review
Elizabeth Castle is a remarkably well preserved large castle estate with many well preserved buildings. The castle can be reached in foot across a raised causeway or by amphibious bus that crosses regularly whether to tide is out or the causeway is totally flooded. The museum and audio visual presentation are worth finding and the climb to the highest tower is rewarded by great views of the coastline and the nearby capital of Jersey, St Helier. Check the tide tables before crossing the causeway on foot as the tide is fierce and rises fast. The ticket office for the amphibious bus and castle is opposite the Jersey Grand Hotel.

Splendid visit on the lovely day we went. Ferry worked well. Airlines could learn from their safety video! The gunners tdlk/display was great. Good humour and gentle ribbing of visitors in character. Well done that man! To be fair, my wife found it too long standing, but I was very happy.

Great trip across to Elizabeth Castle. Amphibious bus to cross (or a stroll before the tide comes in). The staff were all amazing and the cannon and musket displays are a must!! Plenty to see (under restoration at the moment) but that didn't spoil the trip. Good facilities in the castle grounds (small cafe, shop and toilets)
Michelle Harwood — Google review
Lived every castle I visited. This was keeping the highlights for the outside grounds. Not so much in side to access. There is a parade about midday and cannon fire demonstration at around 1:00pm check times with the staff upon arrival. Other great point to mention is if you time it correctly you can walk across to the Castle from just around the corner from the St Hellier Liberty bus station. Amazing views of the St Hellier Bay from the top of the castle. Dont worry if you stay out a little longer and the tide comes back in there is an amphibious craft for a small cost that the kids will love.

Went here Saturday morning while on hoildays. Me and my brother got a 4 for 3 heritage Pass. We got the boat/truck over as the tide was in. The castle is well with a visit if your in Jersey. Lots of history if you like that. We also stoped and had tea and a cream scone in the tea shop that was on site. The tide was out when we left and walked the Causeway back which is about 15 mins walk. Well worth a trip
robert english — Google review
Lovely walk on a nice day over to the castle at low tide and we came back on the amphibious truck which was fun.
Castle was great to have a walk around and there are some lovely views of the island. Several events held during the day with staff playing roles of various sailors and guards which was interesting - the cannon firing certainly makes you jump!
Lots of walking and steps, but coffee shop with lovely garden for a break.
Well worth a visit.

Great amphibious crossing which is fun in its self. Knowledgeable staff and fantastic reenactment by King Charles 2nd. He bought the whole afternoon to life . A nice walk out on the breakwater
We went back again for a water amphibious crossing and became involved with a living history experience with "Gilly" the master of arms . He bought such an interesting insight to the days proceedings.
Andrea Bailey — Google review
Quite a brilliant place to visit, we got the ferry in (buying our tickets to the castle with it) and walked the way back to shore, which only took about 10 minutes. We booked just as we were getting the ferry, yet on busier days/ times I'd advise booking in advance. I'd advise going to the castle a couple hours before the tide goes in if you'd like to walk across, it took us about 3 hours (ish) to explore the majority of the castle. The staff were great, there to help and as you enter the land they will tell you a few of the best paths to walk around the whole castle & the walls. You can go down to the beach yet the gates close at 4.30 so be weary of that (a member of staff will walk down to the pier to remind people just before they lock up). This is an immersive experience with 'cast members' dressing as soldiers from the 1700s, who are there to give you a mini history lesson which is detailed and incredibly insightful on whatever you need about the castle. There are demonstrations and activities throughout the day. Overall definitely worth a visit!
Sasha — Google review
Great trip to this beautiful castle with such a mixed history. Make sure to get there for midday display from very charismatic guide who remains in character throughout musket and Canon display. Chance to get involved. Much bigger than it looks and quite a fair bit of walking to get around it all. Amphibious bus leaves every 10mins but limited spaces so plan in advance if you want to catch displays.
Jersey Zoo, previously known as Durrell Wildlife Park, is the first zoo in the world that is solely dedicated to conservation projects. Founded by naturalist Gerald Durrell in 1959, it is part of a larger conservation effort that reinvests profits back into the field. The aim of this park is to conserve and breed endangered species and reintroduce them into their natural habitats while also training future conservationists.
Amazing place and their conservation initiatives are doing fab stuff. The zoo is well spaced out and the enclosures are really well proportioned. Definitely worth a trip.

It's a lovely zoo, and has been for a long time. Although you won't find larger animals like hippos, rhinos, elephants, giraffes etc, there are loads of equally fascinating animals to learn about and observe.
The atmosphere is more natural than any other zoo I've been to, and it's just a really good way to spend a day with family.
Prices are fairly high to get in, and food inside is also fairly expensive but the quality is very good. We didn't feel that we were being overcharged for what we had.
Highly recommended for families as a fun and memorable day out.

Wonderful place to visit, marvellous conservation projects- you MUST visit the Bat House. My only criticism is the signage around the park, which is "aspirational" rather than accurate and occasionally missing all together. We missed one talk because it was unsigned and had to ask about another. Please fix this for a truly great experience.

If your feeling fit and love animals Jersey zoo is great.The main entrance has the usual toys,café etc and then your in.A lot of meandering pathways going in all directions leads you to somewhere special.A good variety of animals,all shapes and sizes are here. Don't expect to see tigers and elephants though.Monkeys , orangutans,birds and reptiles seem to be the thing. A lot of openness and decking lead you closer into the animals enclosure and the sparsity of animals mean you have to really look for them.I think maybe a free map of the zoo would help.Obviously a sunny day helps too but you do have a couple of great cafes serving food and drink for you to take shade .You certainly know youve walked around the place by the end of the day.

Fabulous time at Jersey Zoo. It is set out very well and easily accessed by bus from St Helier.
The gorillas and orangutans were a treat to just sit and watch them. Butterfly House and turtles were amongst some unusual creatures we've not seen before. Very educational conservation zoo with helpful volunteers at hand to answer any questions in addition to timed talks throughout the day.

First visit here, went with wife and 6 year old son.
Had a great time, spent around 5 hours here. Loads of animals. For us the gorilla's and orangutans were amazing. Loved the bufferfly house and other small monkeys. Was amazed we spent so long here.
There are 2 cafes although we took our own picnic. Loads of benches dotted around to use.
Overall lots to see and do and would recommend.
David Littlecott — Google review
Absolutely loved this zoo. It is well thought out and carefully designed to make the most of existing resources while producing an environment that attempts to provide the essential elements of an animal's original environment. If your future is to be a zoo animal you would want this to be your zoo. The animals look healthy and well cared for. There is an emphasis on animals from places such as Mauritius, Madagascar and Asia so don't be disappointed that you will not see zebra, giraffes, elephants or lions. But they do have gorillas and various monkeys that you do not see in most places. And many critically endangered critters for which they are running breeding programs. Humans are also well catered for being able to see animals well. There is a reason that this is one of Jersey's top attractions. My partner is a zoo addict so we have seen a few zoos. This one is world class and in my top 3. Well done!
Donna Schakelaar — Google review
The most perfect place. We come here every year and it just gets better. Especially now they have sloths and the butterfly house.

Phenomenal!
Not like other zoo's as such, this has a much more let's look after the animals than just look at the animals. This makes the whole nature of the visit much more pleasurable and it's always good to learn how we can look after them. They whole place is such a beautiful setting with flora and fauna to suit, it all has that relaxed Jersey vibe. Only went with staying a few hours in mind but arrived at 10:30 and didn't leave till closing.
Loved it! Now my favourite zoo

I rarely visit zoos as we prefer seeing animals in their natural environment. But this zoo is like no other - the founder Gerald Durrell has housed rare species that you cannot see in the other zoos. We saw capybara, golden poison frogs, orang-utans, gibbons, tamarins, sloths, rare birds, big butterflies, a gorilla, gelada. Be sure to visit the venue during the feeding time for a chance to see the animals more active (see photo attached). Entrance fee is £19.00, no need to book in advance.

Visited on a Saturday and loved it. Incredible story behind the Zoo. Plenty to see and do. Cafeteria was lovely and had great choices in food and drinks. £12 entrance fee per adult. Didn’t rain so had plenty of time to stroll around. Bat smell was overwhelming so skipped them. Amazing place with great staff.

Visited on a warm & sunny day - perhaps too warm for some of the larger animals, who tended to stay indoors resting. The rest still good to visit. The cafe is OK but during our visit, too many young children (under school age) running about in and around the play area uncontrolled, screaming for no good reason, as none were in danger but seemingly the parents or guardians impervious to the noisy disturbances. Best to go later in the day.

The Musée Christian Dior is located in the charming seaside childhood home of the renowned fashion designer. The villa, known as "The Rhumbs," boasts a stunning cliff garden created by Dior's mother. The museum not only pays homage to Dior but also hosts captivating fashion exhibitions.

We didn't go in the house as there was an exhibition of hats, but had there been Christian Dior clothes would have definitely visited. Loved the gardens and Salon de Thè

Beautiful gardens with spectacular views surround this 19th century home, where Christian Dior spent the first 6 years of his life. The gardens are freely accessible, and the museum is free for kids under 12. It’s a lovely place for the whole family. Make sure to take the stairs to the beach, for a peaceful and relaxing moment that is priceless. The museum store is a must for those looking for unique gifts.

"Les Rhumbs"
Christian Dior's childhood home stands on the cliff facing the Channel Islands in Granville, Normandy, not far from Mont St Michel.
Villa Les Rhumbs was built by the shipowner Beust in the late nineteenth century and was named after the old marine term "Rhumb", designating a wind rose divided into 32 rhumbs, a symbol which appears as a mosaic floor ornament in one of the house's entrances.
Christian Dior's parents bought this grand house with its winter garden located in a park in 1905.
Christian Dior was particularly fond of this place. He wrote in his autobiography "Christian Dior et moi": "I have most tender and amazed memories... of my childhood home. I would even say that my life and my style owe almost everything to its site and architecture."
In 1932, shortly after Christian Dior's mother Madeleine had died, the father, who was an industrial, got ruined by the crisis and the property had to be sold. The villa was purchased by the town of Granville and the garden was open to the public from 1938.
In 1997, the villa became the "Christian Dior Museum," unique "Musée de France" labeled museum dedicated to a couturier

A complete gem of a museum, petite Dior shop, new exhibition annually, sublime gardens, a lovey outdoor Salon de Thé, we recommend you make reservations for both online prior to arrival. Tucked out if the way and a destination that drive only. Entry to wander the gardens is free. Not to be missed for lovers of French Fashion and exquisite gardens.

À absolute favorite destination to take our over seas guests. The stunning 1909s English style garden ate free to visit. A new exhibition each year curated by the The Dior Foundation. Book ticket to annual exhibition online and book the rose garden Salon de Thé for lunch or afternoon tea.

Smaller than expected but a special place. Beautiful building, unfortunately the museum was closed. We were too early for the roses which would have made the experience much better, as it is a rose garden. Spectacular views!
Really lovely zoo with lots of animals to see and plenty of different viewing angles around the many enclosures. Lovely and helpful staff who clearly know what they’re talking about - we watched the lion feeding time and the keeper gave a great talk! The zoo includes a good restaurant with hearty food at reasonable prices and a snack bar that’s open in July and August. We visited as a family of 4 adults on Easter Monday - it was very quiet but I imagine that was due to the rainy weather as I’d think it would be very popular in summer with sunnier days! Would definitely recommend a trip!

Went here while holidaying in France and we were glad we did. The park is very clean and all the animals are well kept and looked after. The park is split into two areas, yellow and blue. Yellow you will find the more exotic animals while the blue you will find your more domesticated animal. Both area's are great to wander round and both are easy even if you find it difficult to walk. Plenty of area's to sit and view the different animals. The price is 18.50euros per adult, a family ticket you are looking at 45euros which is for 2 adults and 2 children. Children under 3 go free, there is a cafe where you can get a drink and a snack or you can opted for a full blown meal in the restaurant. While we were there we never saw a zoo keeper, which I don't know is a good or bad thing as the animals all seemed very contented and all were on display. If you are in the area I would highly recommend a visit as you will enjoy your time here.

This was a wonderful zoo and over haloween we had the added treat of the zoo being decorated with fun haloween decorations and face painting! The zoo wasn't too big so was good to walk around with children but there was no interactive sessions but there was a goat pen to stroke and feed the goats. We enjoyed the haloween hunt to find the ingredients for a potion and the reward was some tasty sweets. A great day out with the family!

A very pleasant safari park you can walk round,without feeling you are intruding too much on the animals
The Caen Memorial Center is an excellent starting point for those wishing to visit the Normandy beaches. This museum provides a comprehensive overview of the Battle of Normandy and its impact on people's lives. It begins by examining the origins of war and moves through the uneasy Cold War years, providing historical context for World War II. The exhibits focus on military personnel from both Allied and German armies, with personal accounts and letters providing intimate glimpses into their lives.
You can easily spend 3 hours at this museum and still have lots to see. It really gives you a solid idea of what WWII was in the region. I recommend it.

Very nice museum to visit. Lots of items and detailed history of world War 2. It took me about 2 hours to finish the tour of the museum. Would highly recommend to anyone that love history. Bathrooms were very clean and the snack bar was reasonably priced.

One of the best museums I've ever been to. A short and concise presentation of the events leading up to World War 2, interesting and very vivid photos and videos from the battlefields, a heart-wrenching section that described the persecution of the Jews. A museum that leaves you speechless and sick to your stomach because of all the horrors that happened back then.
The presentation of D-day events is also excellent, offering an excellent base for visiting these beaches in Normandy.
Thank you for this outstanding exhibition - in memory and an important reminder!🕊️

This is one of the most detailed war museums I have ever visited, on par with the Imperial War Museum in London. There are several sections: World War Two, D-Day, the Cold War, General Richter's War Bunker and two cinemas showing short films about the Battle of Normandy and the history of Europe 1900-1991. The Second World War section is enormous, with lots of small display cases and plenty of information. I would say that this museum isn't filled with many actual objects. Mostly, there are photographs, films and extracts from books and letters complemented by the information on the walls. The information is in French, with around 60% translated into English and 40% into German. The WWII area is split into smaller sections, following the war chronologically. There is a very sobering Holocaust section. Some of the footage and information should have a content warning, and could be distressing for children too. The bunker is sparse but interesting and the two films worth watching. I didn't visit the Cold War section because I'd already been wandering around the other sections for four hours!

There is plenty of parking and toilets on all levels.

The cafe was open up stairs with plenty of food and drink to choose from.
Make sure you go out the back and see the bunker then the American garden.

In this part of Normandy, it seems like there's a D-Day museum in every town, but this seems like the one not to miss. The largest exhibit tells the story of WW2. I knew a lot about the war already, but these exhibits were excellent, and it was interesting to see it from a French point of view.
Other exhibits tell the story of the landings and the battle for Normandy, the Cold War, and a bunker on site that was a German HQ. There was also a special post-war art exhibit when I visited.
Mark Gilbert — Google review
Really powerful place to visit if you are seeing some of the D-day places. Its incredibly detailed in documenting the lead up to WW2 as well as all parts of it including live footage of the D-day landings. Also a whole section on the Cold War and a 360 experience of 20th century world and major events- an important testament to what the world went through
David Crowe — Google review
We came here not sure what to expect.
It was a fascinating museum, covered all aspects of the build up to the second world war through to the cold war.
We spent about 4/5 hours here. The translations were good in both English and German. All the information on the walls was translated, only some of the info cards in exhibits were not.
The food was also reasonably priced and of good quality.
There is a bunker experience which was also interesting, although with young children who might be scared of the dark maybe a little intimidating.
We took a 4 month old and it was well equipped, a good baby changing room as well as very buggy accessible (there were a few reviews saying your weren't allowed to bring a buggy, but that wasn't the case).
I could come back and spend another 4/5 hours reading more, but I was aware of the audience I had brought with me so didn't push my luck.
Luke Woodward — Google review
While the staff was very kind and helpful and the subject matter extremely important, I was not impressed by this museum. The building itself is very beautiful and very large but there isn’t much to see on the inside. Most of what you do see consists of printed images, signs, and mini films.
For 19€ the entrance I expected more. Because of Covid, the bunker, the restaurant, and the gardens were closed and yet still we still had to pay full price.
I do not recommend the audio guide (4€50!) there’s so much to read and watch that it’s too much.

It is a fantastic museum if you're interested in the second world war including the events of D-day. The entire timeline is clearly explained. It's incredibly moving and sobering (I found it difficult to walk through the section related to the concentration camps). We spent almost 5 hours walking through it all.

Overall a fairly good museum but on balance it has more photo and video than actual exhibits.
Visited on a hot day and the first part of the museum was really warm. The rest of the museum seemed to have air conditioning and was comfortable. Maybe that was because it covered the Cold War!!

Medieval castle & grounds featuring interactive tours & an annual fair with costumed actors.
One of the best historic experiences ever. Good balance between info and interaction. The tablets with augmented reality are really adding but also the projected images of former inhabitants are well done. The visit of the premises outside the keep is impressive as such. We had a great time during the 2.5 hours we spent in the castle

The castle looks incredible, it's in really good condition and is in an imposing location. The display boards and interactive tour using augmented reality via tablets (which including a little treasure hunt) were absolutely brilliant, an engaging way to learn the history of the castle. I hope other castles can follow a similar approach.

Without doubt the best historical experience I have been to. The buildings have been sympathetically restored and presented.

Good free parking outside.

Birthplace of William the Conquerer, the castle offers commanding views of the surrounding area (unsurprisingly). After major refurbishment, the museum housed in the keeps offers much to see. You can use the digital pad to view how it looked, which would be ideal to keep young ones engaged. Plenty of steps in the keep mind you, as one would expect. You can visit the courtyard (inner walls) without a ticket.

This is an experience unlike in almost any other castle, and I've visited many. You get a tablet which, after scanning markers around the place, uses extended reality to show you how the surroundings looked like almost a thousand years ago. You can turn and move around with it, and it tracks your movements like in a VR computer game. The app is very well done with a lot of extra content, hidden things to find, and easter eggs. With this and all the displays, movies, and information t
You get a good feeling of how the place changed over the centuries. Of course, you get the history of William the Conquerer, who was born and raised there, and a lot more. Available at least in French and English. It's definitely worth a visit. Kids really enjoy the multimedia content as well. Helpful staff, plenty of free parking outside of the castle (also for campervans). Recommended.

The Memorial Pegasus is a war museum in Normandy that honors the British 6th Airborne Division's role during the invasion of Normandy. The museum features a variety of exhibits, including the original Pegasus Bridge with visible battle scars, which visitors can walk along. Admission fees are $8 for adults and $5 for children.
I was looking forward to visiting here for a long time and it didn't disappoint.
Easy to find just along the road from the working bridge easy walking distance.
There's a reasonable size car park with no fees.
We were there in September so it wasn't very busy so when in the museum part it was good to just take our time and have a good look at the exhibits which were very informative,also the video in the middle of the museum was very good we'll worth the time to have a look.
Out on the outside of the exhibition the original bridge was set up with other part's concerning tanks,guns and the like.
All in all if you are visiting the Normandy beaches the Pegasus bridge is a must.

So much information about the courage and tenacity of the British army in attacking this bridge, to see so many actual uniforms and medals of the troops involved.
The fact that arms and equipment are still being found around the area is witness to the scale of the fighting.
Not to be missed, see the reality not the film.
Denis COOMBES — Google review
Most definitely worth a visit. The taking of the Pegasus Bridge was an amazing operation, the first step on DDay for getting troops established in France. Arriving in gliders these soldiers set off a chain of events that ultimately freed France of 5 years of Getman invasion. The museum dedicates itself to the bravery and loss of men (particularly British and Canadian - but not exclusively) who secured the bridge. A huge section of which now stands in the grounds. There's a replica glider, vehicles and various war relics outside. Toilets, carpark (no height barrier) & gift shop. English and French speaking guides. 2 minutes walk across to the present bridge and monuments where the gliders landed. €9 entry.

Really interesting museum with a digital tour in your own language (if available). There are a lot of items to see, in and outside.

Pegasus Memorial Museum is located between Caen and the sea. In the early hours of D-Day on 6th June 1944 the bridge spanning the canal was captured by paratroopers of the British 6th Airborne Division. There is a great deal to see in the museum and a visit is a must.

Few people still know about this holy place and for many it is still undiscovered ( I had a small trip from Paris to Lisieux by Train for one day) . This building is about a hundred years old and Pope John Paul II visited it for the first time. The type of building is a combination of modernity and traditional architecture with granite stones and paintings, as well as a large dome with the ability to reflect sound in the centre of building, At the top of the hill, beautiful and quiet and easy to access (on foot or by car) with parking and a boutique.
(I still don't know why different types of stars are used in the exterior design of the building)

This is a large building dedicated to St. Teresa of Lisieux. There is a lot to see on the site beside the church itself. Inside the church is beautifully decorated with mosaics of many saints and holy images. Because of the size it wasn't crowded or noisy inside despite the number of visitors.

Zoo de Cerza is a wildlife park that offers an exciting experience for visitors. It features a variety of animals including big cats, rhinos, kangaroos, and reptiles. The park also provides lodge accommodation for those who want to extend their stay. Visitors can enjoy up-close encounters with the animals and even have the opportunity to feed some of them. The park has well-maintained walkways and new features that enhance the overall experience.
Fantastic Zoo. Penalty to see and do. It is great how close you can get to the animal. Would definitely recommend a visit

Had a nice time at the Safari park. The day was cold and blustery and some of the animals were sheltering from the wind so didn't make an appearance. However we really enjoyed seeing those that braved the weather. The park was clean and accessible and there has obviously been a lot of work building new features, such as walkways, and maintaining existing ones. I recommend a visit, but maybe on a warmer day. Our highlight of the day was definitely the Gibbons' acrobatics! 🙂

Absolutely wonderful healthy looking happy animals with incredible huge habitats. The two walking routes allow you to see everything in an orderly way (save at least 3.5 hours for the two) and the walks were not strenuous (my 3 year old coped fine). The giraffes come right up within 20cm of you, the tigers also come very close and it’s honestly the best zoo I’ve ever been to. All the animals in Cerza have been bred in captivity but have fantastic homes with a lot of space to be away from the public when they want to be.

Absolutely fantastic place. We spent all day here with 2 young kids. Under 3's are free and adults are only 23 euros each. There's 2 different routes with lots to see on each and you get much closer to the animals than any other zoo I've been to. The red route is definitely easier to navigate than the yellow one. There's also a train which takes you round different parts of the park you don't see while walking which is included in the price . If you're in the area then definitely make the trip you won't be disappointed.

Probably the best zoo/animal park I've been to. Huge enclosures for animals, but then pathways are well designed so you can see them. My advice with small children: walk the yellow path first (about 2 hrs), then see the red path on the "train", it covers a similar area.
Dino Scaramanga — Google review
A nice open zoo with large area’s for the animals. The red path is a bit more difficult and steep to walk with a stroller but certainly doable. The safari train is loud and only shows a few animals there not visible from the path.
The burgers with fries I wouldn’t recommend, the fries were flat and the bun a bit soggy.

The best zoo I have been so far. It is huge, you can spend an entire day here without getting bored. It’s also surrounded by the nature, not like those in the city, so it brings more atmosphere to the zoo. You can find any animal here and get close contact with them. The entry price is worth it, for all of the fun it can give you here!

Great experience at Cerza zoo. We never though it was possible to make a safari in Normandie
Very positively surprised: a lot of animals in a very large park. A lot to see, the little train is always appreciated by the kids and everything is clean and well organized.
Recommended!

If you are in the area or even passing by, this zoo is well worth the visit. The price of the ticket is relatively cheap for all the extras on offer - train rides, feeding animals and a petting area for the kids. We were lucky enough to have had the chance to hand feed the giraffes which in some zoo’s can cost hundreds. An amazing place and look forward to visiting again next year.

Have visited many Safaris in UK in the last 20 years but this one stands out by many factors. I must say, never been to so many amazing animals that close. So much variety of animals. Foot safari is so amazing and exceptionally well facilitated by making high level platforms, bridges, viewing areas and walking routes.
Just amazing. Full marks

Incredible safari park! It's beautiful to see how well the animals are doing. No apathetic behaviour, just animals living in semi freedom. All other zoo's should look at this one to see how they should build their park and care for the animals. There was one big irritation factor, wasps everywhere. Really annoying. But that is not something you can control in summer in France.
The Museum of Impressionism Giverny is a renowned art institution dedicated to the history of Impressionism. Open from March to November, it offers an extensive collection and captivating exhibitions. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2019, the museum showcases remarkable artworks donated to its collections. One such exhibition, "Reflets dune collection," allowed visitors to explore these treasures until August 2020.
A beautiful art collection surrounded by a stunning garden with a fantastic restaurant wrapped in windows. With an unforgettable outlook onto the gardens. Not to be missed if visiting Giverny. At the restaurant, try a kir cider cocktail as an aperitif before a meal. The French onion soup and the mussels cooked in white wine and shallots were both superb.

I would highly recommend starting the tour here at the museum before Monet’s house and garden. It is such an artist heaven. With the exhibition there is plenty background info to help ground your visit to the rest of sights. You will appreciate monet’s waterlily pond ans his lush garden so much more. Tucked in Giverny, the secluded scenery is perfect in spring time. Flowers and bushes are lush and vibrant. The amazing feel of walking through the Japanese bridge in Monet’s paintings draped with aromatic flowers is hard to describe in words. You will just have to be there to experience.
The place does get crowded with tourist groups, so early the day seems to be better.
Happy travel

If we saw 2 actually impressionist paintings there it is too much. There was only a temporary exhibition and it was quite small, in about 20 minutes we were finished with this museum. Not worth the money.

Soooo happy to visit here finally. The flower power exhibition is brilliant. We thought there may have been a permanent exhibition but there wasn't. I was so pleased to see the beautifully curated works of art, and learned a lot about new artists. Really good.

It is just O.K. Their permanent art is a bit underwhelming. Maybe some temporary exhibitions - like Renoir one - can make an impression better. But, there are way better museums for that price or even free ones.

We went in the winter when it was closed. So not it's best season. Still a nice stop. Restaurant was tasty but simple food.
The Fondation Claude Monet in Giverny is a captivating destination that showcases the house, gardens, and studio of renowned artist Claude Monet. This artistic haven offers visitors a romantic and unexpected journey through its ornate gardens, Japanese prints, and the artist's studio-sitting room. In addition to this iconic site, Giverny also houses the Musee des Impressionnismes Giverny, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019.
There can be no doubt that this is a most beautiful place to visit, but I'd definitely recommend-
*Book tickets in advance
*Go outside of school/public holidays
*Plan your visit for when the water lilies are in bloom!
We went on Easter Sunday and it was VERY busy (fortunately I'd bought tickets in advance) and sadly the lake was bare- BUT it did not detract from the wonderful time we had.
The village of Giverny is well worth a stroll around too if you can take in so much beauty in one day!
Kirsty Keetch — Google review
A very special place to visit to see the work of this great painter. The garden is well laid out and signposted. Lots of photo opportunities as well as time to reflect on the beauty of the planting. The house is a bonus to see how Monet lived, his work, the amazing views of the garden from the house. Timed tickets. Spend about 3 hours. The gift shop is good value and there is something for everyone in terms of price options. Places to eat and drink in the village. Parking is well organised. Couldn’t give 5 stars as staff made us wait an hour in the sun due to staffing issues with no regard to the bill elderly members of the group.

This was my second time to Giverny. (The first was 30 years ago.) No surprise, the gardens were beautiful, the pond was beautiful, the flowers up close were beautiful BUT - and this is a big BUT - the crowds were too much, in both the house and the gardens. It was honestly stressful to try to walk along the paths because there were so many people crammed onto the grounds. I’m used to going to gardens to be reflective and to enjoy the experience. The crowds made it unpleasant (And this was a Monday. Imagine what it would be like on the weekend!) That’s why I gave the Monet house three stars instead of five.
I have no desire to go back, no matter how pretty my pictures turned out. I actually felt anxiety amidst the crowds.
I’d like to make a recommendation to the Foundation, if that doesn’t seem to pompous: please only allow a certain number of people on the grounds every day. Charge a little more to make up for what you might lose in ticket sales. But please reduce the number of people – and regulate (stagger) the times so that the there are not thousands of people, trying to navigate a place that is supposed to be tranquil and contemplative. (In my photos, I waited for people to pass – so you can’t see the crowds - but trust me, they were there!)

Beautiful, one of a kind place. It makes one wonder if Monet was more of a gardener than a painter. Once on site, it was easy to see where he got his inspiration. Beware, get there early as it gets overwhelmingly crowded.

We drove easily from Paris to Giverny and parked on the free Verger’s parking lot. 13:30 was perfect for us to visit the house and the gardens.
Worth the drive and the wait (line) to discover beautiful paintings of him especially when you can get up close !

The house and the gardens were absolutely a delight to watch. I went in June and I believe it's the perfect time to visit, because it was already spring and just the start of summer, hence it was full of blossomed flowers and not very crowded.

The house and garden where Monet spent his final years and painted some of his most famous pieces such as the water lilies or the bridge. An interesting visit and a good source of inspiration for artists. The village of Giverny itself is also quite cute despite the "tourist effect"

VERY NEAT FOR A MONET FAN. This was a great detour on our way to Normandy. Parking is challenging though if you wait king enough someone leaves. When we came there was also a market (Sunday morning) so that made parking even more difficult. We did not have advance tickets and only waited in line for 5 mins to purchase. The gardens and ponds are amazing. The flowers are incredible. The house is really neat as It has his first studio with replica paintings. The feel of the gardens shows how one of the great impressionists could be motivated to paint. It was beautiful.

Highlight of my recent Paris trip! Quite straightforward reaching this place (by train and then shuttle bus; signs are very clear once you reach Vernon). My recommendation is plan the trip yourself but buy entry tickets in advance. Spent about 3 hours here. Loved browsing the shop too. Even though it was crowded - I came in summer, there are little pockets of quiet where you can sit around and just soak in the atmosphere of this beauty of a place.

Possible the most beautiful garden in the world! I dreamt of this place for years before visiting. After finding a book about Monet’s garden several years earlier this place had been in my bucket list until I finally had the time to visit during a trip to Paris in 2023. I travelled from Paris as part of a coach tour and spent the entire day in Giverny. It was a rainy day, but did not take away from the magic of the experience. 8 full time staff tend the garden and the tulip beds are certainly a highlight. Although the water lilies were not in bloom during my visit, the lily pond was still amazing to behold. The Japanese bridges hold so much history and are iconic scenes. I brought my watercolours to paint while attending.
Would definitely recommend taking a day to visit by train or tour coach.

Wonderful and moving experience. The home is charming and loaded with art (not Monet's but special nevertheless), photos, and furnishings to recreate how Monet lived in a key mature part of his artistic life and after achieving rare "success while still living". Although the gardens have been replaced, they did so with the greatest effort to make it exactly as it was. The garden is absolutely lovely as well as the pond where waterlilies and other masterpieces were painted. The village is lovely as well. Great experience.

Wonderful gardens but so very busy! Line at 30 min after opening was 2.5h long. Even longer when we were leaving. I'm thinking, get there an hour before opening (09:30 for our visit).
Japanese garden is certainly the highlight. Very beautiful.

Stunning and worth visiting early in the day. Visit through Monet's house before the gardens to avoid the crowds.
The e-ticket was poorly signposted if you catch the shuttle bus from Vernon Gare, it's actually the Group-entry gate near the underwater, rather than the main entrance up near the gift-shop.

Beautiful gardens. Visited in August 2023. Many flowers in bloom. Visited the house. Couldn't really take your time in the house due to the number of visitors. Arrived for opening 9.30am. Well worth the time here

If you love art and nature/garden, you should visit this place during Spring!
To get there, you could take the TER (train) and then you will get a shuttle bus from the station to the location. Once you reach there, you will have to walk for like 5 minutes to reach the garden.
If you are hungry or want to take something quick, there are a few restaurants and takeaway places outside of the garden. Keep in mind that if the ticket is single entry, you cannot exit the place and come back, in case you gets hungry! ;)
So the place, I really loved the garden, which was peaceful and beautiful at the same time. I spent quite sometime in the garden before entering to the Monet’s house. The house is filled with his and many other artists works, which are amazing.
Also, do lots of forget to go to the other side of the garden where you could find small water canal and a pond.
I spent almost 2-3 hours there and then grabbed a small sandwich from one of the takeaway shops after exiting from the place.
Also, one more suggestion, try to go in the morning time slot, something near 10:30 a.m. for a better experience.
I will highly recommend you to visit this amazing place at least one time!

This place is absolutely magical! If you are anywhere near here - within 100 miles - then go!!! Book online before going just in case there’s a queue or it is full. There is so much to see and explore and just get lost in the gardens. We went in summer and it was simply amazing. There were some crowds but it didn’t feel crowded at all. Park at the lot just opposite - plenty of spaces. Could have spent the whole day there but settled for 4 hours in the afternoon.

It was a very beautiful place.
I visited in mid-October and it was wonderful.
It was not crowded and I didn't have to wait in line, so it was comfortable.
I think it might be crowded in spring, but I would like to visit in each season.
I am truly grateful for preserving and sharing such a wonderful place.

The Fondation Monet is a must-visit for any fan of Impressionist art. The house and gardens are beautifully preserved, and it is easy to see why Monet was inspired by them. The gardens are especially stunning in the spring and summer, when the flowers are in bloom. I would recommend visiting early in the day to avoid the crowds.
The staff at the Fondation Monet are friendly and helpful. They were happy to answer our questions about Monet and his work. We also enjoyed the guided tour, which gave us a deeper understanding of the gardens.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience at the Fondation Monet. It is a truly special place that everyone should visit at least once

Worth the visit. Its a small place (house and garden) but the flowers and the paintings in the house are so, so beautiful. You probably will spend maybe 3 hours max. Can have a lot of visitors, so need to be patient when taking pics. Also, the shop at the end is super interesting! Couldn't resist to buy something!!
Dover Castle is one of Englands oldest and most imposing castles, located on a hilltop above the shortest seacrossing between Britain and Europe. It has served as the countrys first line of defence for centuries, while also housing secret wartime tunnels and an underground hospital. The Battlements Walk offers views of the castle from atop its walls, while the Roman Lighthouse is one of only a few extant lighthouses in England.
As a member of English Heritage, entrance here was free. There is ample car parking space as well. Staff here were all really lovely and kind, also very knowledgeable. My four kids, aged between 6 and 12, had a really good time, so much to see including a wonderful tour of the underground tunnel system. Lots of amazing history, great views and the main tower was very well kept. If you are a member of English Heritage, I would definitely recommend this place. My youngest was also studying about castle life at school and it really helped him understand castle life and he enjoyed telling his class about his trip. Big thumbs up to all the staff for being so helpful and kind.

An amazing place to visit and one of England's top castles for sure. The castle complex is huge with the keep offering impressive views of the whole town of Dover and to the French coastline. Easily 3+ hours of things to see. One of the most impressive I found were the Roman lighthouse and medieval church which underline the significance of the site. Also has very interesting WW2 history with a fascinating tour of the tunnels in which the Dunkirk evacuation was planned.
Henry Gayfer (Harry) — Google review
You can easily spend a whole day here - the castle grounds are massive and there’s a lot to see. The tower can be done quite quickly as there’s actually not much to see inside and the interior is very dated but worth it to climb to the top and see the great views.
Definitely recommend doing the war tunnel tour - very interesting and very well put together.

Great place for kids. Castle itself is not wheelchair or pushchair friendly and there are lots of steps in the castle to get to rooms and top of the castle. They have got handrails. The rest of the grounds have paths. The tunnels are pushchair and wheelcahir friendly as long as your prepared to push them back up the hills. Had great story telling show for the kids in the castle. Stunning views from the tip of the castle. Staff super friendly.

Dive into history and the gorgeous sites here in Dover. There is ample parking and walkways that are nice if you are pushing a pram. My "big kid" really enjoyed the tunnel tour while my 9 & 16yr old enjoyed exploring the medieval castle and grounds. We spent easily 2.5hrs but could have spent longer here. If you are an English Heritage member, there is also a cottage on the castle grounds that you can rent. Prices are on the website.

This is simple one of the best Castle I've visited, vastly huge and impressive a full day is required. The war tunnels are a must the Dunkirk exhibition is truly emotional.

One of best castle to visit in England - wonderful kept and fully of history. The tunnels are great - but I recommend making them the first things you do as the queues can get rather long. Defiantly allow yourself a whole day there to see everything - we arrived when it opened and lefts just before closing and I'm still not sure if we saw everything. Loads of parking and great for kids.

So many pivotal pieces of history happened here. You can spend an entire day exploring the premises, walking around and learning. Incredibly views, wonderful staff. A great day out for all ages.

I recently visited Dover Castle, managed by the National Trust in England, and it was an incredible experience. The highlight for me was the immersive journey into history at the war rooms, where you could almost feel the past come to life.
The breathtaking views from the castle are simply awe-inspiring. The white cliffs of Dover, the English Channel, and the serene landscape create a picture-perfect setting that's not to be missed.
However, I must mention that the parking situation was a bit inconvenient. Despite parking being available, we were directed to park outside the castle, which required at least a 20-minute walk, and this was quite challenging with young kids and a buggy. The gravelly and hilly path added to the difficulty.
On the positive side, the history within the castle walls is incredibly rich, and the maintenance of the site is top-notch. The tickets were reasonably priced for the value you receive, making it accessible to a wide range of visitors.
Be prepared for a lot of walking as exploring the castle and its surroundings can easily take 4 to 6 hours. I would highly recommend carrying water and snacks to keep energy levels up as you delve into this historic gem. Despite the parking hiccup, Dover Castle is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those seeking stunning views of the English coastline.

A massive place, so allow I’d say half a day of not all of it to visit. Tunnels are fab and views from the top of the tower are great. Cafe serves half decent food but overpriced as always at these places. Picnic is probably a better option if there a few of you.
Negative points for me is the bad signage and the lack of information boards to tell you what things are. Also the amount of distance you have to walk just to get to a toilet! Also the rudeness of some of the staff here is a disgrace! The woman in the shop next to the war tunnels has a bad attitude and would not show my daughter where the magnets were when asked! I wasn’t allowed in the shop due to not having my mask and she couldn’t even be polite about that! Also, if you’re going to enforce mask wearing then at least tell your staff to put their masks right over their face instead of just under their noses. One rule for all not just for us!! I’m not an anti masker, I forgot it.
Other then the negatives, I would visit again and allow myself more time to explore.

I was expecting just a castle but it actually has quite a bit more which surprised me. I found the tunnels in the cliffs more interesting than the castle as it's a bit different . We spent about three and a half hours there and missed a few things to see. The kids seemed to really enjoy it.

Amazing day. Kids loved it, loads to see. Would advise anyone who wants to go in the tunnels to get there early and do it straight away as wait times can build up. Summer holidays they have things for the kids to do on the green in front of the castle. Get the map in the ticket office it will help to make sure you see everything. There is a cafe and tea room but also plenty of picnic benches and grass if you take a packed lunch.

What a fascinating place! I used my mobility walker and it was a bit of a challenge in some areas, but there is a courtesy disabled electric bus going constantly around the site which will pick you up and drop you off where you want to go. The staff are so friendly and helpful and very knowledgeable about the castle. The views over the Port of Dover are amazing. The Naafi Restaurant was nice although a bit pricey for a family to dine there. A meal of a small portion of macaroni cheese and a portion of garlic bread was priced about £9. I had a little bottle of juice and a bottle of spring water and it cost £5.75. I subsequently found that complimentary tap water is available. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was an excellent disabled toilet with an adult hoist. Complimentary Mobility Scooters are also available on a first come first serve basis. If you need assistance to visit the castle, you can get a complimentary ticket with your adult ticket for your carer. We had a fantastic experience visiting and there is so much to see and do that to do it justice it would take another visit!

One word Stunning! I know if you heard it but never came along here you will feel the same even if you’re British or not. From the very beginning with a tiny bridge it starts your special journey. Castle, chapel, view or war tunnels it’s truly stunning. Be careful about to spare enough time because it’s big enough and tunnel tours are not self made tour. If you’re an English heritage member it’s free entrance. If you’re not become one.
PS. I would expect a better museum admission because of that many things would be more original or similar as it is not look like a toy specially inside the castle if it’s not main purpose of the design.
In tunnels you don’t even see the video specially at the second part.

Huge site, with lots to see. As a dog owner, dogs have very limited access on the site. I'm fine with this, but it's not clear why English Heritage policy varies so much. We have visited similar sites as members and have been able to access much more. Biggest issue wasn't able to get any drinks because dogs not allowed in cafes and no outdoor vendor at all. It would be a benefit to consider a kiosk type arrangement somewhere.
Lots of kids activities laid on for Easter, queues for the tunnels and hospital, but well managed and didn't wait long (dogs also not allowed into these).
Would benefit from Audio guides. Lots of history but not that well explained, so some areas information overload and some with no information at all. Some new displays evident which were much better.

Very large grounds with lots to explore. The castle itself has been kept in a way that represents how it would of been many years ago. The 2000 year old lighthouse is a fantastic piece of architecture that has really stood the test of time. Lots of modern fitments still in place including gun posts when it was protected in WW1/2. Great views from the top looking down across Dover. Plenty of parking, restaurant and lots of toilets to use, staff are very friendly and helpful. A great day out for everyone.

Excellent and very well preserved example of castle building. Make sure to save plenty ty of time to experience the WWII tunnels and stories.

Beautiful large castle with lots of grounds to walk around, a really interesting walk around the interior with halls to visit and a route up to the roof as well as fascinating wartime tunnels with a really fantastic tour and videos. A couple of gift shops too with the usual stuff and a lovely cafe with proper cooked food too (although obviously quite expensive). Overall an excellent day out and you could easily spend a full day here so make sure you have plenty of time!
The White Cliffs of Dover are a stunning natural phenomenon, where towering chalk cliffs stretch for 8 miles along the coastline, reaching heights of up to 350 feet. This breathtaking vista offers panoramic views and is an ideal location to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine in England. The area features multiple paths with varying levels of difficulty, allowing visitors to tailor their hike accordingly. There are also resting spots scattered throughout the landscape, providing ample opportunities to catch one's breath or take in the scenery.
White cliffs of Dover is a beautiful place. Beautiful views and in the distance can see France (which was exciting) a lovely walk around. Great spot for scenic photos too .

The cliffs are breathtakingly beautiful and on a good sunny day, the walking trail along the cliffs is lovely. Car parking can get filled up fast, so better to do the planning around it.

The best way to see the cliffs is with The English Bus tour—we were taken to a ground level location for breathtaking views of them. I have never seen such WHITE cliffs in my life. The very narrow roads, got quite windy and “narrow”. We were there in mid July as well. A definite must! The beach area was local for sure and there was even a little refreshments area setup too.

Nice view, perfect for hiking or walking. It would be better if we could see the sea. It was foggy so we could not have the best view but still quite nice to go.

The White Cliffs of Dover, with their brilliant white chalk formations, offer a breathtaking coastal spectacle. Their sheer beauty and historical significance make them a must-visit destination. Whether gazing at the sea or exploring wartime tunnels, the cliffs leave an indelible impression of nature's grandeur and England's resilience.

Chill and beautiful place. It’s about 40 minutes to an hour walk or so for the entire view point. The beginning of the view point is this cafe, walks is about 45 minutes to the train station. Therefore save 90-2 hours if you are walking from Dover privey to the end of the cliff.

Stunning! Well worth the visit. People are friendly. Loved seeing the "welcome to England" signs. Lovely watching the ships and ferries. The parking and pedestrian walking areas to the cliffs could be better though especially since its paid parking. Wear appropriate gear and shoes and bring plenty of water as it is a real hike if you want to walk the full extent.

Beautiful views of Dover. So relaxing couple of hours of walking. They are benches around so its a perfect spot for a mini picnic or a stop for a rest.

This is an all-time favourite place to come to with my family. The stunning coastal views, seasonal flowers, the stark white cliffs, the sea and sky is mesmerising indeed.
I've been here a few times and I never tire of the scenery. Its so refreshing, the walk is exhilarating.
Its an easy walk for the non experienced walkers, just make sure you have the right footwear and clothing.
Depending on the weather it can get quite muddy and messy.
Toilets, cafe and boot/shoes/cleaning area available just before you start your trek.
Car parking facilities very easy and accommodating for wheelchair and disabled persons.

Stunning view and relaxing walk. There are safe walking trails along the cliff. Wood chairs give resting places for you to catch a good view of the sea with ships/ ferries. Had multiple parking slots (need to pay £5 for the stay). Restaurant and the toilets were closed on the day we went.

Stunning views and parking can be a little hectic at the weekends as most of the larger vehicles don't know where to go, but the 40 minute walk to the lighthouse is gorgeous. Well worth a visit.
James — Google review
Breathtaking! You have to be there to really take it all in. Amazing views in a serene setting. There’s miles of trails to explore, there’s a nice little cafe at the entrance too. A must visit. Free to walk but parking is £5.
Gautam Andotra — Google review
A must hike! Beautiful view from the cliffs to the ocean, from other parts toy can see the white rock formations. Really pretty and easy to walk since the paths are well marked. You can choose different trails depending how far you want to go. There’s a bunker in the way that was closed to visitors, but interesting to see from outside. The other end is the lighthouse, the coffee shop was closed; so check their opening times and days if your goal is to go eat there.
Free parking.
Their cafe in the entrance is very convenient, there’s also clean bathrooms there.
The water hose and brushes made a lot of sense when you walk back from the cliff because you can get very muddy.

Magnificent! I’ve seen it in photos, videos, etc. for so many years. Finally made it here and it’s totally worth driving 1.5 hours to come here. The sunny weather does helped. Would love to come back again for photos taking. We didn’t get to the lighthouse which is a shame. Will definitely go next time!

Mentioned on
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Le Touquet, located on the Opal Coast, is a chic and glamorous town known for its historic motocross race and vibrant villas. The area is lined with grand Norman-style houses and pine-shaded avenues leading to the exclusive beach-resort of Le Touquet-Paris-Plage. The expansive beach boasts soft, clear sand and plenty of space to roam and bask in the sun. Visitors can also explore quaint restaurants, cafes, shops, and a market offering various goods.
Lovely place to spend time. Lovely drive and cool water. The sunset looked great and mesmerizing. Recommend to visit this beach. There is setup for kids to play around. City is super close as well.

Unique premise and atmosphere here. Very grand buildings on outskirts and in surrounding forests, becoming more modern towards the seafront. Beautifully manicured areas outside of impressive hotels and apartment blocks. Rue Saint Jean is main pedestrian thoroughfare to the beach area with designer shops inland, giving way to bars and boutiques towards the seafront. Different every time we come, but always fantastic. The beach is very large and clean, with sunbeds and parasols available in season, with an adventure complex and various eateries and bars.

Beautiful beach! Especially the side with the dunes and the park/ forest. Town center is very cute. The only downside is finding a table in a restaurant. Make sure you make a reservation before heading to town. They have very specific times for the kitchen.

Beautiful soft and deep sand that went on for miles and miles. Very spacious. We were there early morning and basically had the beach to ourselves. We found some free parking on the residential streets a few roads down from the pay and display streets and only walked about 10 mins from car to beach. Lovely quaint restaurant/cafes and shops. And also a market selling clothes, crystals bags and food etc. Was a lovely day trip. Would recommend.

I'll never travel to Bruges without this trip planner again
Rue Saint-Jean is a charming, narrow street paved with brick and lined with upscale clothing stores, bars, cafes, and restaurants. The street is adorned with market stalls offering a delightful shopping experience. Visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of French architecture while mingling with the locals and experiencing the vibrant French culture. After indulging in some retail therapy at the market stalls, one can unwind at one of the memorable cafes or bars that line this picturesque street.
The Centre national de la Mer in Boulogne-sur-Mer houses a large aquarium with sharks, sea lions and penguins, as well as a tropical lagoon full of colorful coral. This is a great attraction for children who can see some of the more exotic fish species at the aquarium. The historic sites and port of Boulogne-sur-Mer are also worth a visit while in Boulogne.
A truly wonderful day out. During our 6 hour visit we saw everything there was too sea 😉 and enjoyed every minute of it. We have many highlights to share with our family and friends. The auditorium is like the biggest and best TV you will ever see - truly stunning. Could have spent all day there alone, just watching.
My wife is slightly disabled, and being able (for free) to have use of a wheelchair (secured with your ID) made the day possible. And with at least 97% accessible with a wheelchair we missed nothing (other 3% you could still see, just not quite as close). Lifts (with notifications giving priority to wheelchair users) are plentiful and like everything else clean, and to a very high standard - and even some nice surprise.
Food, maybe is the only negative, we had a crepe for lunch and a coffee (no problems with that), as we planned a restaurant meal that evening, but the other offerings did seem excessively expensive and not that good.
In conclusion for a day out of memories, under €30 entry it is well worth a visit.
Ian Steel — Google review
It's a nice aquarium but a but expensive for what it was. We where done in 2 hours. Drove especially from Luxembourg for it which didn't seem to be worth it. Only nice if you are already in the area. Tickets should be maybe only 15 euro per person not 24.
Anusha Mian — Google review
This is a really big aquarium, with a huge central "pool" and then smaller aquariums all around. Lots of floors all having different topics about marine life. Very educational and fun, great family outing. Was quite crowded, but rightfully so. If you so fancy, the sand beach is right outside to build sand castles after (or swim in the sea).
Simon Willems — Google review
Fantastic experience. My view on jellyfish completely changed :) So beautiful... So much to see. Beautiful aquarium. Take it slow and pay lots of attention to what you can find in the aquarium. There is so much going on. Every fish sort had its own behavior. Unique. Never saw something like this before wrt aquariums.
Joost Maltha — Google review
Summary - a pretty damn good aquarium with lots to see and do for kids and adults. It makes The Deep (an aquarium in Hull) seem tiny!
We only went here as it was raining but we were certainly glad we did. The first point to note is that the ‘official’ car park has a height restriction so is no good for camper vans.
The place itself has two main exhibitions plus a penguin exhibition. The first one has a huge tank with sharks, sting rays and lots of lots of fish. This also has a tunnel through it was is good. There are lots and lots of smaller tanks and exhibits.
The second one is based on the coast and, again, has loads of small tanks and exhibitions. However the main attraction are the seals and you can only see these through a wall in their tank. This means that you can see them swim under water.
The third area is the penguins and these are in a relatively small area. However we were tired by this point so didn’t stay long.
There is the obligatory cafe (warning - expensive) and gift shop (reasonably priced).
In all we spent 4 hours there which ain’t bad for the €70 or so it cost. Well worth it.
James C — Google review
Lots of fish, as we walked the fish tanks never stopped! Recommend the large main tank with the manta ray, very cool and curious! The seals were very cool also!
Good crepes and hot chocolates
Zinc Rich — Google review
Nausicaa is truly an experience to take your kids once, to prepare them for the future and climate change. Even though the tariff is high, and yes some reviews do feel it is a glorified sea tank. However given the context we live in this project is remarkable and opens your eyes to the synergies between man and sea in a setting so interactive for kids and adult. Special packages can be introduced to make this accessible to all.
Ruchita Sharma — Google review
I have always wanted to go since I was a kid and we finally managed to get there. Absolutely amazing place, if you love an aquarium trip then you will love this place! Only advice I can offer is give yourself plenty of time to get around it as it's huge!
Stevie Bates — Google review
A great experience, lovely staff and an overall value for money visit. The variety is great too. They have penguins, seals and a large number of sealife including sharks and stingrays. I went with a school trip that I helped organise and can only say that I will be doing this in future! Visit if you can, you won't be disappointed.

Great family day out. We spent 5 hours there with 3 kids and they were all entertained. The first part of the exhibition is very digital and tech heavy and there didn't seem to be many fish, but it greatly improved as we moved on to a different exhibition. Food options seemed limited, but the crepes were fresh and tasty.
Laura — Google review
We made a special visit to go as birthday present for our son. You can buy an additional day ticket for only €5 which is excellent value. We spent the second day seeing things we were too tired to appreciate the first day!
This is the best aquarium I’ve ever been to and highly recommend it. The welfare of the animals is paramount and it is obvious how well cared for they are.
The cafe is mediocre and quite expensive but functional and has the best view over the beach.
Best part is the huge deep water tank based on a site off Columbia in Pacific. The giant manta ray is particularly impressive.
Only downside was trying to buy an ice cream at the end and the staff member laughed with her colleagues at my poor French. I left customer feedback for that to raise training need but it meant that I left on a down note after 2 brilliant visits.
Please visit and enjoy but I can’t recommend the ice creams!

Lovely day out for all the family. Went for a day trip from the UK. Used the eurotunnel to get from Folkestone to Calais. From there, it's a straight forward 30 minute drive to Nausicaa. Spent a good 5-6 hours there and then drove back. The aquarium itself is fantastic and the staff helpful and friendly. Would definitely do this again.
Stephanie John-Baptiste — Google review
Very friendly personnel and also very helpful. The aquarium itself is quite big and split up in 2 main parts. It took us 4 hours and 30 to get through it all, at a slow though, which is not bad I think. The place is very clean and modern and there was not a lot of people so it was very comfortable, being a Saturday this was a little bit surprising. The big tank is amazing and is definitely a show stopper. Be sure to check out the giant manta, it's amazing. Parking is located on either side of the facility and is a Qparking. Be mindful however that the beach side parking 'la plage' didn't have Maestro working, so you were only able to pay there with cash, Visa, or Mastercard.

I didn't really think that this place lived up to the expectations. I would visit if I lived in the town, but wouldn't say its worth a long trip to see. The large centre aquarium is quite amazing but there were a lot of areas that just have screens and tv's. Personally, if I go to an aquarium I don't want to see screens... I want to see the real thing! Knocked off some stars for this reason, otherwise there's a wide variety of fish and cool things to see!
E M — Google review
It was an ok experience. I expected more than just one big fish tank and tiny sea lion and penguin areas. I feel bad about the animals, though, because they look very crammed. The penguins and sea lions enclosures, especially, looked so tiny! Loads of space for people to walk but not enough for the animals.
There were restaurants and a smoking area. I'd advise against using the loo if you can hold it because there are some shocking things to see, apparently. My husband went and came back traumatised 🤣

We spent around 2 hours here, one Sunday. It is an incredible place to visit. Definitely take your time to read all the interesting material that is on offer. The Aquarium is huge and very impressive, with a large array of fish & rare creatures. I would recommend this for all visitors in the area!

T Leung — Google review
Really cool and big aquarium with lots of animals to see. We spent 2h here and that was perfect! We visited on a very sunny and warm Sunday 2.5h before the closing so the aquarium was very empty and that made the experience even better! The sea lions show was stunning! And my favourite thing was the biggest aquarium. That one just leaves you speechless.
The only downside is that the ticket prices are quite expensive and I definitely wouldn’t want to visit on a rainy day as there are most likely be too many screaming children around. Additionally, there isn’t much interesting information about the animals.
Eva Meglič — Google review
Absolutely impressive. Huge aquarium/sea life center. I have visited many sea life centres in the world but this one definitely stands out. It has 3 distinct exhibitions: mankind & shores, journey on the high seas and in the eye of the climate. It’s a real deep dive into the ocean world, the aquaria are all super nice, the information is complete and the tone of the exhibition is informational, encouraging and positive. Instead of feeling depressed about the current state of the planet (which can be the case after visiting earth-related exhibitions) you walk out of this place with an informed, positive and motivated mindset, all thanks to the ‘both sides of the story’ perspective of the exhibition.
Due to its recency (it was completed in 2018) it feels very up to date.
The giant aquarium is super impressive (holding a 4m span manta ray), it has a great restaurant, and never felt extremely busy although we went on a holiday and there were many people inside. Throughout all 3 exhibitions nice and calm music helps set the tone, it’s very nice. We visited with 2 kids aged 10 and 12, and they absolutely loved it. Walked in at 11am, finished the tours at 4.30pm with a 1 hour lunch break. Very good value for money, highly recommended!!

A great family day out while staying in the area. The huge tank where the bulk of the sea-life live can be seen from several places, including from above. We spent around 3 hours there. Parking in the nearby Q-Park Nausicaa is discounted if you're visiting the aquarium.
Ben Clarkson — Google review
An excellent attraction with a huge array of marine life.
There are lockers that accept one euro or one pound coins. But they get used up quickly so try to arrive early.
The giant mantaray is the highlight but there are various outstanding examples of marine life from sharks to seals, jellyfish, and much more.
Be warned, there are two main sections, so you might want to arrive early and do one side before lunch at the excellent onsite restaurant. Overall, it takes around 3 - 4hrs to get round unless you want to rush through!
The aquarium is also an educational resource, and has a lot on conservation and the changing world.
gavin white — Google review
Aquarium Nausicaa offers a large collection of marine life, making it a worthwhile visit for nature enthusiasts. The exhibits are well-presented (French and English) and provide educational insights into the ocean's ecosystems and the importance of conservation efforts. However, it's worth noting that the admission fee is relatively high. Parking options are available in nearby garages, but on weekends, the area can get quite crowded, which is to be expected.
Overall, Aquarium Nausicaa provides an immersive journey into the underwater world, despite some considerations regarding pricing and weekend crowds.
Nikita — Google review
Incredible aquarium. Easily the best one I've been to in France, and even rivals some I've been to in the US. The large tank which houses the stingrays and sharks and whatnot was definitely the highlight of the aquarium, I could have stayed there for hours just watching. Overall the aquarium was a great experience, lots to see and would definitely go back. Went on a Monday and there was hardly anybody there, with no wait line to get in.

A great garden with something for everyone, families, older people. The gardens have different themes, all interesting. Stairs and ramps, a bit steep in places. We visited on a super summer day but plenty of shade and picnic areas.You can even buy a plant in the shop. There is a place to grab a bite to eat or drink and a gift /plant shop .
Richard Jenkins (RickJ) — Google review
The gardens are really pretty, however the whole visit was made unpleasant by the very loud tractor cutting the grass. I couldn't wait to leave. I assume it could be done after the gardens close or in a less noisy fashion.
The entrance isn't cheap and I would not have gone, if you would have known that it would be and hour of intense noise, so if you can ask if it is grass cutting time before paying and entering.

Cité Europe is a popular shopping center located in Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais. The city gained prominence due to the Channel Tunnel, which serves as its entry point. Tourists can explore various shops within the city, catering to the daily influx of tunnel users. Additionally, visitors can savor classic French cuisine at the on-site restaurant and bar. For those seeking an authentic experience, the Centre Ville offers a more genuine taste of local culture.
To be honest, for me it's one of the nicest and cleanest mall in France. It's a large one with a wide variety of shops to have a great shopping experience 🛍️ ☺️. I would say the most common international brands have a store in this Mall. From Zara to Primark.
I really enjoyed my experience there with so many choices. The parking is easy to access and park. it's a nice place to have dinner or lunch 🍽️ with different type of restaurants.
Nice job!! U would highly recommend this mall.

I really look forward to visiting again soon

This amazing hypermarket is dominated by the Carrefour Supermarket but there's also an excellent range of shops and restaurants.

Cité Europe, 1001 Bd du Kent, Coquelles, France (+33 3 21 46 47 48) A vast Supermarket which opens everyday (10 am - 8 pm) except Sundays with huge selection of wine from cheap to expensive one. There are more than 140 boutiques and an incomparable "Gourmet City" with great restaurants catering for diverse tastes. It is also worth visiting Carrefour Cité Europe, one of the largest hypermarkets in the region and an international shopping centre, an essential tourist stop for those crossing The Channel.

To be fair this pretty good with a good selection of eating places, although if visiting a country know for its gastronomy eating here may be "sacrilegious". The selection of retail shops is good too, parking is very easy, and access for disabled people is also very good. Staff friendly and helpful!
Good location if arriving from Channel Tunnel, be aware there is a police speed trap on the A16 as you leave! It cost me and that was only a few weeks ago!

Same as always..not much charge. The supermarket looked overstocked but not that many customers. Guess the weather( snow)melting was not safe for driving, Most people may have stayed indoors.

We cross to Calais by foot and overall the experience was simple and enjoyable. You need to consider the check in, as it needs to be completed 90 min before the departure time. Once in Calais it was Sunday and there's no taxis/buses and you will have to walk

We took the boat to Dover via P&O Ferries, and from here to our accommodation in Robertsbridge. P&O Ferries is very good and we also had some delicious fish and chips here. I would recommend it to everyone.
On board there are several things to do, like a play area for kids, a supermarket and even a casino. There's also plenty of dining options and the food is of a high quality. Changing money is quick and easy on board.
We had a nice view over the sea and our car was safely parked downstairs. We didn't worry about anything, and we certainly didn't need to. It felt very safe on board!

We took the Pride of Kent back and forth from Dover. Both in calais and Dover, there was a bit of a wait at the border (40min wait). Boarding was nice and easy. The ferry on itself is a bit old and was not exactly clean. The club lounge does offer a bit of quietness but toilets were really dirty (overall I would take that upgrade again).

We travelled on the P&O Pioneer ferry, which is one of the new ferries with beautiful interior. The pet lounge on the Pioneer is really big with lots of seating and a very nice outside area with seating, too. There was free tea, coffee, water and coke in the Pet Lounge and of course lots of bowls for water and food for dogs. Most seats also have a plug and charging point for mobiles and a hook under the table for dog leads.
Our dog definitely seemed to enjoy the crossing and far better than having to leave your dog in the car for the whole journey. You do have to book the pet lounge in advance for an extra cost, which I think is around £12, but considering the offer of free drinks it is very good value for money.

When our Eurostar train from Paris to London was cancelled, made our way north to Calais and took the ferry from Calais to Dover. All ferries were booked up but we managed to get on the foot passenger waitlist, and were able to get on a ferry with the help of some wonderful staff at the Calais port (big shout out to Virginie - she was amazingly helpful). Once aboard, the ferry experience was great - huge ship, with several restaurants, bars, gambling areas, duty free shopping. Was very impressed with the quality of the travel experience.

Despite presenting our official document issued by the responsible authority in Brazil, it was refused by your staff.This refusal resulted in additional expenses for us, as we had to spend an extra €250 to cross via the Eurotunnel. Upon arrival, all reception personnel at the pet checkpoint confirmed that our document was indeed correct and valid.Such a lack of competence and knowledge among your staff not only inconvenienced us but also led to unnecessary financial burdens. We expect better service and competence in document verification procedures to avoid such issues in the future.I urge you to address this matter promptly and ensure that your staff are adequately trained and equipped to handle document verification procedures effectively.

The staff were lovely, not a lot of seating available for waiting, coach was good, the actual ferry was not as comfortable as the one I arrived on but very clean, well organised. Good boarding and disembarking.

I highly recommend P&O Ferries than DFDS. I recently took a ferry from Dover to Calais and was impressed with the service and amenities. There are always long queues for security check and immigration checkpoints so I recommend you to get there earlier. Once on board, I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious seating areas and the variety of dining options available. The food was tasty and reasonably priced, and there were plenty of options for all dietary preferences. The ferry itself was clean and well-maintained, and there were plenty of restrooms available. The crossing was smooth and comfortable, and I arrived in Calais feeling relaxed and refreshed. Overall, I highly recommend P&O Ferries for anyone looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable way to cross the English Channel.

Over the new cross channel ferries. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The prices were very reasonable and for Club Class, I went in Club class and you can have unlimited things to eat and drink, including wine and champagne and tea and coffee. For breakfast you can have cooked breakfast and crossiants or cereal and tea and coffee. For dinner you can have a cooked dinner like beef casserole and roasted vegetables and potatoes, and also quiche and salad. The lounge is lovely with comfy chairs and tables and also an outside deck with sun loungers.
The crossing didn't take long, about an hour and a half and you have to get there an hour and half before you sail, to get through customs.

Very efficient and fast moving terminal. Prices are the best around, we checked!
Multimedia, museum of WWII & French occupation, plus 3D planetarium in huge, 1940s rocket bunker.
One of the larger nazi bunkers in the world. It was constructed in only 10 months, but never became operational. After the allied forces destroyed most of it, some of it has been preserved and turned into this museum dedicated to the development of the V2 bomb. Interesting to visit for those who like rocket science and space and who want to learn more about the history of it.

Great historical WOII site. A V2 launching site built in a couple of months. From life in the area during occupation, through to horrible images of forced labor in the German rocket factories by prisoners in concentration/death camps.
Luckily, you can easily skip the parts unsuited for sensitive children.
Michiel Kerstens — Google review
This is amazing place to visit. The WW2 buildings are both amazing (size, scale, speed of construction) and horrifying in equals measures. The museums are good and certainly tell the history well.
So why not 5 stars? Well the planetarium is good and the 3D affects amazing. However the movie we saw was advertised as being in English as well as French. They give you headphone for the English which is fine. What is not fine is that only 15 minutes of the 45 minutes is in English and the rest is in French. If they had told me that upfront I would have saved my money (and I did ask).
In summary the WW2 building and muse
is amazing. The planetarium is also amazing….as long as you can speak French.

This centre is amazing, the French have done a fantastic job on this architecture of destruction. It's set on a few levels with a built in elevator that makes getting around easy. They have a doodlebug V1 full size a V2 full size, dicriptive videos and curators dotted about to answer any questions. The site is well worth a visit especially if your following the WWII scenes as we as a group are, and we were not disappointed with our findings. There was still the untouched damage that was left by the Brits in the bombing runs that cascaded down. Definitely a visiting center that shouldn't be missed. If you enjoyed this review then please give me a like. Many thanks Marcus 👍

A museum I recommend. Reasons: 3 distinctive parts: 1). La Coupole: who/what/where/why - 2). Peenemunde (for those who have not visited the site in Germany you receive a nice recap - 3). The NASA era after the war.

This is a real hidden gem in the French countryside. We arrived not quite knowing what to expect but we're pleasantly surprised.! You can quite easily spend a full day there and they allow overnight stops with a motorhome, free of charge too..
The 360 Planétarium shows different films thouout the day say you do need to plan your day there..
I would suggest that some of the museum in not for small children.
A really Informative day out and I highly recommend it. Cafe area and shop are very well stocked. Overall, great value for money.

Wonderful memorial and museum. V1 and V2 missiles on display as well as footage from the occupation. Thoughtfully laid out and hugely interesting. Shocked at how war criminals were pardoned after the conflict and set to work in American and Russian space programs.
Didn't have time (ferry to catch) to do the planetarium so can't comment on that but it did look cool.

Wow awesome find on the way to Lille. So much history and not for the feint hearted . Our kids who are eight years old liked the rockets didn’t understand the war history. Plenty of footage that runs for 20+ minutes all around the bunker - dozen or so videos is my guess. We had to miss so much history cause they were bored. Graphic photos and footage but the cafe at the end helped. Didn’t see the 3D cinema but looked great. We purchased the family pass plus 1 child. 28EU and well worth it.

Very interesting museum for all ages with some films, displays and original items to guide you through the museums. Not really under 5 yo friendly apart for the rockets and car hanging and the film / display on concentration camps are definitely not for them but they can sit next to the film projection and not see anything. I was warned by the friendly staff beforehand which was very helpful.
Highly recommend visiting this WWII memory site.

Very nice maintained WWII site. Most of the explanation was available in multiple languages.
The audio guide is good, but has some errors. The gift shop and cafetaria is good too. We saw the show of the falling stars, that's a pitty it was only available in French.
Had a great day and learned a lot about terrible weapons. Seems like humanity didn't learn a thing from the past
Plopsaland De Panne is a popular family amusement park located on the Belgian coast near the French border. It offers a wide range of attractions, from thrilling roller coasters to rides suitable for toddlers. The park features excellent themes and top-class coaster selections, including House of Anubis. Visitors can also enjoy Plopsaqua, a favorite among kids. Additionally, there's a hotel with delicious food and included dinner stays available for booking.
A Wonderful Day Out
Well worth the long distance travel from the UK, such an amazing park with lots of rides to keep you entertained.
Excellent themes around the park, all family friendly.
Top class selection of coasters including House of Anubis and the Excellent, frankly insane ride to happiness, absolutely my number one having managed 8 rides in total during my visit.
Food and drink is all reasonable priced, except for water which per litre is literally more expensive than beer? not that i am complaining. Hot dog and Drink came to under 10.00 euro, so fairly standard park pricing.
Staff are all super friendly, positive and really add to the guest experience.
Tickets are best purchased offline, using the bid and buy feature which provides a fairly decent discount on purchases, although it does appear to be genuinely random.
Lockers are available on site for varying costs depending on the size that you require.

Very fun place especially for little kids. Lots of additional playgrounds, fountains to play in, small, fun rides. No long lines or none at all when visiting on Wednesday off season. We'd come back in back to De Panne... Buy your tickets online and Google a discount t rate. There are promotions going on all the time

The price of drinks was insane! Doesn't feel as nice as our last visit a couple of years ago, so much emphasis on sponsors now! Heidi is an amazing ride though!! Great for young kids. Ride to happiness was painfully slow to get on to and uncomfortable to ride. The park is very clean though.

Wonderful theme park built around the many Belgian cartoon characters famous from TV such as Plop,Maya the bee and others.
Plenty of rides to choose from also for toddlers.
Don't miss the musical shows ,usually performed in Dutch and French simultaneously.
Parking is 15 euro.
Note:arm yourself with patience, waiting lines can be a bit lengthy.
Sufficient sanitary opportunities around with quality paper towels instead of those annoying heaters.

We enjoyed this park, a great variety of rides for both adults and kids. We were lucky and lines weren't long for the rides on the day we visited, this made our experience very positive. But I can imagine when lines are long it can be very frustrating and completely changes the experience. Food and drinks are ridiculously expensive and disproportionately priced, in some cases more expensive than in Disneyland. One coffee and an ice cream €12. Ironically large beer on tap was only €6.

Visited during the off-season, and truly appreciated how the major coasters operated 2 or more trains making the queue even much shorter. The staff were very warm and hospitable - always serving with a smile. Park was conveniently located near the coastal tram stop, making it easy for tourists to visit via public transport from the major cities of Belgium. Went to Belgium just for The Ride to Happiness extreme spinning coaster and it totally exceeded my expectations! That coaster lived up to its name - it was a beast, and every re-ride was a completely different experience. Highly recommended for coaster enthusiasts out there!

Spent 2 days here, I believe it’s better than summer busy days, the line is not very long. The food and drinks are really expensive, better to bring some food and drinks if you want to stay a long day here. We spent more than €900 for the hotel and entrance fee , I think it’s totally ok, the hotel room is really interesting and very attractive to children. But I don’t want to pay €5,5 for a cola, it cost more than a fancy restaurant. it’s wicked to ask people pay so much higher to meet their basic need, it is not just.

The food price is freaking expensive ( way too overpriced ) compared to Phantasialand in Germany.
The best thing about the park is that there weren't huge queues to play games.
We were able to play almost all games before 16h00.
Exept for one that was closed due to the wind.
All in all good experience ,Recommended.
For the food better bring it with you.

Very nice amusement park, clean and spacious. We were there on Friday ( in April), it was not full, and some roller-coasters we could enter without waiting time.
However, for the biggest one ( Ride to Happiness) we were waiting about 30-40 min in the first half of the day. In the evening waiting time reduced to about 15-20 minutes. Our children ( aged between 8 and 12) were totally happy. However, the entrance price is incredibly high for a family. We were lucky and got a discount using Groupon ;)
Small notice: The park is almost on the sea side, and the wind was quite cold. So my advise is to have a little bit warmer clothes, than you would wear normally at such weather.

The In Flanders Fields Museum in Ypres, Belgium is a museum that covers the history of World War I in the Flanders region. The museum provides a comprehensive look at the war, from the details of campaigns to everyday lives of soldiers to impact on locals who were displaced. The museum encourages visitors to reflect on the major historical events and personal stories of individuals.
Beautiful church, was nice to learn the history of this town. Very sad but very informative; a true testimony to the war and the tragedy that befell the city and the victims of this war.
Cecilia Orozco — Google review
This is an excellent museum and well worth the price (you can get a joint ticket with the Ypres museum but this one is better).
It’s all about WW1 and is excellent. The tech is amazing with wristbands used as a access card for various displays. It works very well.
You can also pay an extra Euro 2 for an audio tour (we didn’t) and the same to go up the belfry which is really good.
If you’re interested in WW1 then go here before you is the tours of the battlefields and cemeteries as you’ll bet a better understanding of the absolute horror of what went on in the area.
It’s really worth the money (there is also an absolutely amazing ice cream and waffle shop across the road from the entrance!). Note that the museum cafe is very expensive. Best eat elsewhere off the main square.

A wealth of information and genuine exhibits from the WWI era. Wireless touch points scattered throughout the displays enable visitors to receive more detail in a selection of languages. This enables visitors to explore beyond the basic information texts explaining exhibits. There is also a cafe. Also access to the clock tower and outside on the roof to admire the impressive views.

An absolutely fabulous museum. So well done - we spent two and a half hours here and could have spent more but we had a ferry to catch. Absolutely go for the audio tour - so much information and it brought the exhibits to life. Going up to the bell tower was a great extra too - amazing 360 degree views across the roofs of Ypres.
Nicki Barker — Google review
A must visit if you're ever visiting Ypres, there is a small charge with a discount for those of us over 60. I totally recommend getting the audio assistance (only an extra €2) this will give you a commentary in English at each of the exhibits throughout as you go. You can also pay a little extra to go up to visit the Belfry (231 steps up) this is best for the reasonably fit BUT TOTALLY worth the effort.
I have visited the Museum & Belfry a good number of times, seen something new, & learned more on each visit. 'Lest We Forget' has become a saying we all know, the In Flanders Fields Museum really helps to truly explain the sayings importance.

This place was a must-see. The museum itself was very interesting. The entrance of the gallery offers a well-written descriptions of situation in the years before 1914 (belle époque). We paid for access to the bells and views of the city, which was entirely worth it. We also were given wrist bands so that the exhibitions would be tailored to a particular identity. Unfortunately I did not take much advantage of it but would if I had more time.

This is the best museum I have ever visited in my life, now 81 years so far. It uses audio visual media with remarkable success. Fact, drama and emotion combine for a powerful experience. Expect to be moved. I wish all politicians took the time to visit and learn. Very worthwhile.

Wow! An extraordinarily good museum about the First World War! The exhibition uses many different media such as videos, audio tours, and classic showcases in order to get the information across. This is especially practical while travelling with kids, because it never gets boring. I also love how the museum contains historical artifacts from various countries, so that everybody can find something in their native language. I would advise paying the two euros to go to the tower, the view truly is astonishing! I spent two and a half hours here and I was not disappointed. Huge recommendation!

I loved this museum. I spent around two hours inside and the audiotour was excellent for an additional €2; it enriched the whole experience.
There were three levels of detail to the tour- children’s (marked with poppies), the basic tour (shorter spiels) and then a greater depth version. Whatbi loved is that I could pick and choose based on what I’m interested in, I.e. learn more about the weapons, artists and trench life but could skip the actor’s monologues.
We also paid the extra €2 each to climb to the top of the tower. There were ~250 steps but the view was worth it.
The museum wasn’t too busy, though it was a Monday morning. The cafe wasn’t open and the gift shop was okay- prices weren’t too bad compared to other museums.
A great morning out!

This is a must to add to your itinerary. This museum has great displays with so much information and videos of actors telling real peoples stories, they were very moving and sombering. There are audio guides for different language options.

The gift shop was great and staff were friendly.

Contemporary approach to a very sobering topic. The building itself was beautiful and my children (11) loved the interactivity learning about the lives of different soldiers on the screens. We followed the visit by a short drive out to Tyne Cot cemetery which was beautiful and a sight to behold.

A must see museum that shows the true horror that soldiers and civilians endured in the 1st world war. Including life in the trenches, free time, equipment, uniforms (of all involved) and medical care. Lots of awful statistics too. Very emotion and moving at times. Be good for the younger generation to learn all about the war and what happened. 10 euro entrance fee and we here here 3 half hours so good value for money. We paid extra 2 euro to go up bell tower. Their was also another exhibition at the end all about the military cemeteries. I took no photos as it did not seem right, just some from the bell tower. It was housed in a beautiful building that is undergoing renovations.

Located inside the Cloth Hall this is an excellent museum with many interesting exhibits. It takes you through the war from start to finish.
The Menin Gate is a British war memorial located in the town of Ypres, Belgium. The gate is inscribed with the names of 54,896 military personnel who have lost their lives in battle here during World War I and II. It serves as a place of remembrance for those who have died, and it is also the location of a daily Last Post ceremony.
Excellent a sobering experience to see so many names from so many continents called to war.
There were pipers who marched though this evening and we listened to the last post. A truly humbling time on a beautiful sunny evening.

Important!
The site is undergoing maintenance for all of 2023 so the gate is covered with scaffolding.
The site is astounding and worth a visit if you're in the city.
Every evening they pay tribute to those named here and lay wreaths to the fallen with buglers performing the last post. This tends to get very busy so be sure to arrive early.

Was such a great atmosphere! The evening last post ceremony was incredible and something I will never ever forget. Would definitely recommend watching the ceremony as it's amazing to witness. The only reason for the 4/5 instead of 5/5 stars was because unfortunately when we visited there was scaffolding up but that can't be helped-hoping to visit again when the scaffolding is gone!

A very sobering experience. To see the 50,000+ names makes them people and not just part of a statistic. The remembrance ceremony at 20.00hrs each day is very well done, is somber, and they do ask people not to applaud.

Such an evocative place.
So, many names of those who have no known grave and from so many different nations.
It is a sobering experience just to see so many names, ranks, regiments.
On the right hand side (if approaching from town) and just before you go under the gate there is a slope, if you walk up there you can find the Indian and the Ghurka memorials. There is also a fabulous scale model of the Menin Gate with Braille panels for those with a visual impairment.
You won't be disappointed and if in the area it is a must see monument to those who gave their tomorrow's for our today's.

I already visited the Menin Gate many times in my life and when I did yesterday 26.09.23 I found the Gate currently being restored which of course was a shame. However, I fully understand the necessity of doing so and look forward to see the Gate again in its full beauty.
The Poppies wreath is to be found in front of the Gate about 50 mtrs further down the road.

The Atlantikwall Raversyde is a seaside compound that consists of German bunkers, tunnels and observation posts from both World War I and II. Visitors can enjoy informative audio tours while exploring the site's outdoor exhibits which are displayed in four different languages (Dutch, English, French, German). The staff members are friendly and passionate about their work, ensuring that each visitor has an enjoyable experience.
Awesome place to visit. The weather was really nice so that was a great bonus since half the tour was outside. Everything was taken care of very well with a very informative audio tour. The tour itself was about 1.30h/2h max if you really take your time. There was lots of information on display in all 4 languages (NL/ENG/FR/DE). Overall the staff members were also very friendly and passionate about every visitor. There was certainly no lack of smiles and friendliness, helpfulness and joy. Hats off to the staff for maintaining this site so well. A must see if the pictures spark interest!

Zoo de Lille is a compact and lush animal park that houses various birds, mammals, and reptiles in themed sections. Situated near the charming city of Lille in northern France, this modern art museum boasts an impressive collection of paintings by renowned artists like Miro, Klee, Leger, Cezanne, Braque, van Dongen, Picasso, Modigliani, Masson, and others.
Always a pleasant time. I really like the fact that they have a lot of birds on display in very nice enclosures.

Nice zoo with not too much variety of animals. Feel like they have more birds but I am not too into them. It would be perfect for a day out with the children, as I saw mostly family with babies and toddlers there. Without the Lille city pass, it's only 4.5e for adult fee, which was worth it.

A nice city zoo that is smaller than the landscaping would make you think. There were several areas under renovation on the day of our visit, but a nice way to spend an afternoon in Lille. There is no beer in the bar area, but not a major issue, I am assured the pineapple ice cream is amazing, there was none to share...
Gerry O'Mahony — Google review
Small zoo with reasonable pricing and lots of animals to see! We particularly enjoyed the red pandas and the giant tortoises :) The enclosures had good information on the signs in English and in French, and the layout of the zoo was easy to understand even without a map. We liked how a lot of the habitats had more than one animal in!
Only four stars as some of the enclosures felt very small (arctic foxes and fennec foxes in particular) and some felt a little unclean - stagnant dirty water surrounding the monkeys, for example. Of course, the monkeys don't swim in it, but it wasn't particularly pleasant to walk past as a guest.
We still had a good time though, and we'll be coming back!

A great little zoo with a wide variety of animals for its size. There is a small shop for refreshments half way round. We spend 4 hours here but you only really need 2/2.5 to see everything leisurely. The entrance fee was very cheap €6 each and we didn’t have to queue although when we left a long queue had formed so I suggest going earlier in the day. The animals seemed to have ample space and well looked after.

Check the map to see all sorts of animals available in the Zoo.
Your visit should last at least 1 hour and a half so you can see all the sites.
For the tickets we paid 6 euros for adults and 4 euros of you have kids.
Recommended for families, kids and groups

Lovely little zoo located near the centre of Lille, in an island where the citadel is. We bought our tickets at the door. The highlights for us were the Rhinos and the monkeys.

Good for a quick trip to see some great animals in an afternoon or morning. Food and drink reasonably priced. Facilities were clean. Entry price was reasonable. A little bit difficult to find at first in the middle of a park- it would be useful for more signs to direct you to the entrance.

I visited on a weekday, but even though it was during summer holidays, the zoo was relatively empty. I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, though, and it was relaxing to stroll through leisurely. I enjoyed the wide variety of animals they had, and I was also glad because enclosures seemed large enough and organically designed.
I was unaware before I visited, but this zoo also has my favorite animal, the Manul/Pallas cat!! It pretty much made my day

The animals there looked safe and like they actually take good care of them.
Except the fact that the kids are actually disturbing them with loud noises and trying to get the animals' attention, this is a good place to visit.

I absolutely recommend it.
There are some animals up close!
One important fact is the animals look good. The tiny ones such reptiles and little birds have small spaces.
You can enter a habitat with large birds, and the the primates part is lovely, I recommend you wait and see the charming way of Gibbons walk 🐒 ✨

Very nice zoo for families. Most Important: they have a selection of animals we have not Met anywhere else. That’s probably the best reason to go there. 15€ for a family of 4 is very ok. Takes you about 1.5 hours to cover everthing.

What a great zoo. At €6 it's a steal. The ground beef bird was sensational, what a character. And don't get me started on the Superb Starling. Unmissable. It certainly lives up to it's name. We saw the biggest ducks I've ever seen. The gibbons were very active. A great day out for brachiation fans.

It's a small zoo. But well maintained and price is reasonable.
Close to the zoo there is also good playground with some extras for the kids.
Parking is big. We paid 6 euro for around 4 hours.

The heart of Lille! Great place to walk around and feel the city's vibe. There is always something going on here, and big events such as the Xmas Ferris Wheel and the Video mapping Festival are held here.

Amazing place to visit during Christmas season.
Beautiful vibes, nice decorations, yummy food and games for adults and kids.
Moreover, the architecture of the buildings is spectacular.
I highly recommend this place.

Real nice lights, Christmas ambiente, music and a lot of people enjoying the coming festive days. Better go to the stairs of the theater for a better view and photo.

The very heart of Lille and does not disappoint. The eclectic mix of building styles actually makes the Grand Place unique and interesting. I had a lovely meal at President brasserie on the Grand Place who accepts solo diners.

Very beautiful, the beggars can be annoying, don't give them anything and pay attention to your bag cause they can have one sneak behind you to steal stuff from your bags. Otherwise enjoy this place.

Lille’s biggest square where you can find the goddess statue, the vielle bourse, the theatre alongside different restaurants. This place is vivid and full of people.

Grand Place
General Charles de Gaulle Square is historically the central square of the city of Lille and houses the largest market in the area.
Nice architecture, with many beautiful buildings around it. Cobbled streets that lead you to discover the magic that is hidden in the adjacent streets and the smallest alleys.

Stop promoting this as a tourist transportation! It's a regular tram, very crowded and uncomfortable. Yes, it takes you from one place to another, but don't hope for nice view or something interesting to see.
Andreea Preda — Google review
(Translated by Google) It's really scandalous how full the trams are, really overcrowded...You can't get on or off...and 1 tram every 15 minutes, really not possible...What if something happens on such an overcrowded tram? ??

(Translated by Google) It is not responsible that there are so many people on the tram, it is also dangerous, people have already fallen, also because the tram abruptly left, it's a pity I don't like the tram
