Excellent day out. The building is well signposted and accessible. The facilities are clean, well lit and smell pleasant. The staff are all helpful and knowledgeable about the animals. The ticket is well worth the money, as they're also annual passes as standard.

Easy way to spend a couple of hours with the family. Can seem expensive but you get return visit for a year free. For the summer holidays we expected more child related activities to be on the go and fun zones.

This place is pretty cool. The whole site is set up really well so as you walk around nobody is in your way,you can take your time reading and watching all to see. We did go on a Saturday and was very full of families with children but was still enough room to experience everything. We thought the entry fee was a bit high at first but then realized it was for a whole year entry but even without a full years entry we thought it was worth the cost. It is also a non profit project helping our seas and wildlife so was happy to help out a good cause.

Visited with my 3 children from 5 to 15 yrs and there was something for all of them. They all thoroughly enjoyed their visit. It was fairly busy but we had not problems getting a seat in the cafe for lunch.

Haven't been to the deep in a few years. It's still a wonderful place to visit. We could have sat and watched the penguins for hours. We got there as soon as it opened, plenty of parking but was pretty full when we left.

The deep is a gem on the coast. You will need to take a day to go around here as there are 100s of different interactive exhibitions to go along side the tanks. It's amazing to have a museum like this outside of London honestly and it really is a great reason to visit Hull. I highly recommend this museum 5 stars.

Really cool experience that our kids (3 and 1) both really enjoyed. We both enjoyed it as the parents too! Lots of very interesting fish to see as well as lots of information/educational displays. The cafe wasn't great, but the experience itself is very good. The entry fee also includes any number of returns within a year.

Amazing aquarium. Friendly staff, great service. I was really pleased with fish exhibits. The Deep is disabled friendly, everything is accessible for wheelchair users. We spent there one and half hours and that is the time you’ll need to go around it. When you buy ticket you can come back within 12 month for free. I really enjoyed the visit and definitely would recommend going to the Deep if you are in Hull. This is probably the best aquarium I’ve been in UK, London aquarium is nothing compare to The Deep.

Was really informative and basically like a museum for the history of the planet and evolution. There were not as many creatures as some aquariums but it was still a great day out. The best part for the children was an interactive sand play area which was really clever. The queue was really long and it was quite loud but still well worth the trip and good value for money.

We come to the deep often as we live locally. It's fun for both the kids and adults and it's enclosed enough to let my 2 year old have a little freedom to explore. Today we were pleasantly surprised to find some (free!!) Sensory activities going on at the halfway cafe. These weren't very well advertised, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any future events as there was SO MUCH for my 2 year old to do in a relaxing environment with really friendly staff. It was the perfect spot to breastfeed my 7 week old also, while my 2 year old was entertained. Would recommend to anyone with little ones from newborn up to teens!

Really good day out. We spent about 2.5 hours here. We thought it was just an aquarium but found the exhibits really informative with lots of information, more like a museum. I love that our tickets mean we can come back again and again for free for a whole year. Lots of interactivity for little ones and ramps made it really accessible. Lots of food options in the restaurant and a well stocked gift shop.

Had a fantastic day with the kids for a day out. Everyone fully enjoyed seeing and learning. Nice little pit stop halfway through, which can bring your own food or use the café. Nice to know we can go for free over the next 12 months with our purchase tickets from today.

Great day out!! Lots of great tanks with sharks, turtles,.fish. The penguins were my favourite part. There is also a cafe & gift shop. When you buy a ticket it's valid for 12 months..we don't live nearby but it's good for locals

Excellent quality aquarium positioned on the Humber just down from the bridge. Good size car park but you do have to pay £3 even with a full price ticket. Lots to see and interactive with inside, nicely laid out with plenty of space, clean tanks and happy looking fish! The main tank is pretty amazing and they make the most of it with plentiful ways to view it including a glass bubble elevator ride at the end! Good cafe with hot and cold food plus a brilliant, well stocked gift shop on the exit. We stayed 3 hours including a quick cafe stop. Highly recommended.

Was shocked at how much I paid to get in but apparently I can visit as often as I like for a year! Fantastic place, plenty to learn and many species to see. Main attraction are the sharks which don’t disappoint. The tunnel is very short but the view is great. Plenty to do for children of all ages. Gift shop full of toys at average prices. I didn’t try the cafe but it looked good. Would definitely recommend a visit. Without food I would say 3 hours was enough for me but with smaller children I would give it 4 - 5 hours. Beware, parking isn’t free! Foolishly I didn’t notice 😳😩

Great place to bring the children and adults alike...... Daughter loved all the interaction. Cafe was reasonably priced with great staff. The portion sizes are large and the home made pie to die for.

Absolutely fantastic place to visit. Lots to see and do, easily fills a full day, and your tickets will last for a full year after purchase. Outstanding value for money. Also works with Tesco club card points and there is a small student discount.

Visited with my toddler who enjoyed looking at the fish but it's not very big so we weren't there very long. Took us an hour and a half, and that included lunch at the cafe. It's clean and well looked after, but not as many tanks as I thought there would be. It is more of an educational day out aimed at school children than anything. Plenty parking although spaces are tight and there's no parent and toddler bays so quite tricky if it's busy. Wheelchair and pram friendly inside. Cafe is nice with lots of food choices.

Loved it. Even my teenage son was vaguely interested, which is no mean feat. The ticket lasts for the year so plan to go back despite a long drive. Not particularly cheap entry, but everything is well kept and some beautiful sites. If you take your time maybe up to 3 hours. Would recommend stairs at the end and the lift if you want, the stairs you take at your own pace, I spent half an hour at the varying heights. Cafe on site. Parking is about 4 quid

We loved seeing the penguins and the sword fish in the viewing tunnel best. We enjoyed the interactive displays, especially the microscopes and 'paint a fish' virtual displays. Staff on reception were very friendly and helpful and there was no queue at all to get in. We pre-booked our time slot online. It took around 1hr 45 minutes to go around, and we took our time reading the info boards. We felt for the price paid there were some missed opportunities which would have made the experience so much better. Some kind of audio tour via an accompanying app would have been great - we found it quite difficult to hear the spoken exhibits due to the noise of school groups and other kids who were understandably excited. There was also no map (that we saw or were offered) which would have helped orientate us. There also could be more staff interaction and some talks or guided experiences. I suspect much staff time was taken up with the school parties on the day of our visit, however, this should be taken into account to ensure all visitors have a good experience. We were disappointed to find the bubble lift was not working. This meant visitors with pushchairs had to carry them up multiple flights of stairs if they were to see the views on each level of the tube. Finally, when we reached the cafe at the end it was very busy but the entire upstairs extra seating was closed so we ended up taking our food back to the car to eat. Nice that each ticket is an annual pass so we may visit again and update the review.

So good we went back twice ! Went late on the first day which meant fewer people there and the creatures were on top form - especially the sharks and penguins! Went back for free the following day and saw.more creatures but some of the livelier ones from the previous visit were now sleepy! Good service - easy entry - nice cafe facilities. Will visit again!

We had a great time here, it wasn't as busy as I was expecting, no queue to get in (Monday 10am), we had no problems reading and viewing animal information displays. Really impressed with all the exhibits, I thought the entrance fee was good considering all the work they do and the running costs they have to endure. The cafe was excellent, great food and a nice cup of coffee, would definitely come back again

Wonderful experience and my toddler loved it. Great for all ages, a bit busy but not too bad. Only thing I would say is that the picnic area wasn't until halfway round but we didn't realise that and it would have been useful to have signs for our hungry toddler.

Visited today, I bought the tickets online however you still had to wait in line, so it wasn't a time saving exercise. Only needed to queue for about 3 minutes so not bad at all. We booked a slot for 12pm allowing entry between 12 and 12:30, we arrived at 11:45 and there was no problem with entry, we weren't asked to wait, just got straight in once we were served. Personally I feel it is a but pricey at £21 however, perks are the ticket is an automatic annual pass, so for this who live nearby it could be a bonus. The place as a whole is pretty impressive, sharks, stingrays, penguins, turtles to name a few impressive animals. Plenty to do with the kids, loads of educational interaction activities to keep them busy. I would 100% recommend.

Had a great time, we took our 3 year old and 4 months old. Plenty of parking as we got there as it opened. Got served straight away for the tickets. Our little girl loved it and can't wait to go back again in a month or two.

The Deep's aquarium in Hull is truly unbeatable. I never tire of visiting and seeing the charming penguins, with the axolotl holding a special place in my heart as my favorite contender. Exploring the wonders of the underwater world, from majestic swordfish to delicate creatures like the axolotl, is always a delight. Learning about their history and the efforts to protect them from extinction adds a deeper level of appreciation to the experience. One of the best parts is the great pricing, allowing you to revisit as many times as you like within the year. It's a fantastic value for such an enriching and enjoyable experience, making each visit feel like a new adventure.

Free admission. We really enjoyed taking a step back in time and looking at the transport history. I particularly enjoyed the street set ups while my partner was interested in the cars and bicycles. Located next door to two other very different museums so overall made a fun afternoon out

A lovely place to spend some family time together. My daughter absolutely enjoyed the visit. As we had grandparents with us, she kept asking them if that was the way things looked like when they were little. It was so interesting to listen to their conversation. The museum is brilliant and helps you kind of go back in time. Our favourite thing there was an old fashioned ice cream van.

Excellent place, very interesting, there's plenty for the kids and the best thing is it's free. There's even a ride that shows you how bumpy the carriages were.We paid £1 per hour for a carpark just down the road. There's no cafe but there's a gift shop. Would definitely recommend 👌

Really great your young and old. This museum is filled to the rafters with old cars, trains, trams. Really worth going here for a few hours. The staff are really nice and know there stuff and it's really clean and tidy. 5 stars really worth a trip to it!

Well worth a visit. I'm well into vintage vehicles and old shops. Being able to see what people used to buy and how much things cost. Not all of it is as interesting but it depends what floats your boat. Anyway it's free entry so you've got nothing to lose. Like I say it's well worth a visit.

Brilliant place to visit. Friendly staff, clean and lots to look at and learn. One thing to remember before you go, is to bring some change. There’s a few interactive games and an old car ride, which you need change for. We really enjoyed it and will definitely revisit. Thank you for a great, informative and interesting day.

Very interesting museum with lot of antique trains, carriages, bikes and historic facts. Enjoyed all family

Excellent place for a visit, can't believe I've never been before. Lots to see for lovers of all things to do with the old travel scene. Old cars, buses, trams, bikes, road signs etc etc. Old style shops to visit, wonderfully laid out street scenes from the days of horse and carriages. There's a mini arcade with retro gaming machines to play at 20p a go. Accessibility is guaranteed with stairs, lifts or ramps so pushchairs and wheelchair users are catered for. Great place for photos too.

Fabulous FREE museum! We were out for the day with family and found this place. A wonderful museum in the fruit market area of Hull. Its Free entry and you don’t have to book tickets before you arrive, but I imagine it gets really busy during school holidays or weekends. We really enjoyed the exhibits, chatting about the different eras and history of displays. It’s not a huge museum, but it has an easy flow one way system and certainly worth a visit. Enjoyed even more if you like cars and trains etc. There were lots of places to interact and take pictures.

A brilliant museum, which I would really recommend. Great exhibits, free entry and child friendly. Make sure you check out the upstairs section.

A very different experience this one, particularly enjoyed the old shops, and seeing if I recognised from 70 years ago that are still going today. From horse-drawn carriages to buses this museum has examples of them all. Recommended

This was a fantastic museum for seeing vintage transport, displaying buses and cars in their colourful old liveries! Trains and trams add to this collection, allowing some walk-ons and there is even a simulator that is super cheap. Bike exhibits demonstrate how they changed over time and information is provided on the development, old machinery lets the ins and outs of workings be seen by visitors too. A signal box is even available as a walk-in and rooms have settings replicating the olden days; signs also have been preserved to do this!

Great museum in old Hull town area. Loads to see and do well worth a visit. Bonus to my surprise no addmision charge so get the kids down here.

Great museum, and loads to see and explore with the kids. Only issue is parking is terrible. Even for disabled. We had to stop in the road and asked the lovely man to let us in. As they have bollards up stopping you from parking there if you are disabled. We will go again now that we know how it works.

What a fantastic thing to find in Hull. We only had time to go around one of the museums, but it was fantastic. Also did I mention it was free. We took my Mum and she thoroughly enjoyed going round the old star shops and looking at some of the retro arcade type attractions. This museum is based in the Hull museum quarter and we will definitely be back

Brilliant museum, well worth a visit. Plenty to see, full of interesting exhibits, and well laid out. It'll bring back a lot of memories. Free to visit, too.

A fantastic little museum located in the old town. Free entry, with no need to book in advance. The museum layout is over two floors, with a old victorian street theme, kids loved going in and out of the shops. There is also a vintage arcade room (bring some 20p ), vintage cinema and a mini car ride. We spent about 1. 30 here total. No car park.

Brilliant museum, and free to enter, You could easily spend half a day there and not be bored. Magnificent display of transport through the ages, and various displays of old street shops and how people used to live, some of it I could remember from my younger days.

Such a lovely park! I can't believe how tame the squirrels are! My son managed to get one on his hand. The lake area is beautiful and the amount of wetland birds is just wonderful.

This is an extra special park. It’s soo big, has quite a numerous sections to engage one, historic and fun filled. I came here around winter now, can only imagine what it would look like in summer. From the water parts to the animals to the park activities, I can only imagine why it took me so long to find this place. I took a walk to clear my head, but rather than just getting my head cleared off, I was able to make mental notes of things to take from this place. I so love it. It has three sections that allows dog in a part, but on leash, another with dogs free, and the third with dogs restricted. There are some parts you pay a token to to enjoy access to the place but it’s overall worth it.

Lovely place last time I was in East Park was 1968, the splash is still in operation needless to say got soaked again at 61. Small fun fair rides great play parks and Swan boat rides zoo, after you've finished all the above get yourself a peaceful walk through the park.

My favourite park to visit. Can go see animals, play in the water park. The normal play area is brilliant. All free of charge.. can do extra things like go on pedal boats, have a ride on the land train and the splash boat built in 1929 and recently been refurbished is definitely worth a ride

We were attending the BIG MALARKEY FESTIVAL there. Everything was well organised and people were talented and friendly. I was accompanied by my son's school. We've all enjoyed so much although it was raining 😉

What a great day. The park is big. It's filled with things to do and see. There's an adult outside gym. An area specialy designated for star gazing. A cafe. There is also a splash boat, which is great fun. The boating lake looks fun but was closed when we visited. The animal sanctuary is a must see. I absolutely loved it. There is more to see and do. Go and see for yourselves.

Looks a great looking park with plenty of things to see and do. We we're there primarily for the Hull Parkrun that takes place here every Saturday at 9am. After the run we had a little wander around and said its definitely worth a visit again in the spring / summer time when we can spend more time in the area. Well worth a visit.

This park is huge and has a lot to offer all the family. Special animals zoo, play park. Open fields, water chute, Swan rides, cafe and toilets. The kids and adults will love the donkey rides,ice cream, hide-and-seek seek through the old fortress and the massive free water park in summer. Best park in the world. Great way to spend a day. So many more to do than on this list

Fab park ith so much to do, especially with kids. There are squirrels that feed out of your hand (take monkey nuts), great play park, lovely walks, a small animal zoo, lots to explore. For a small charge there is a fantastic water chute and pedalos on the lake. The splash park is free also and easy to book tickets for...but it is cold so definitely needs a warm day!!! Lovely place for an afternoon out and have a pucnic. Free parking and clean well.kept grounds.

Nice very large public park in east Hull off Holderness Road. access for cars now via Woodford sports centre carpark. Excellent for dog walking. It is not so long ago that several million pounds was spent here, mostly from the lottery. It is a little frayed at the edges now but still many magnificent sights. There is also a small area of animals some public toilets and a nice cafe in the centre. There are several art instillations which are eye catching. There was a part of the old citadel walls here but that has been moved back to closer to its original position on Victoria dock development. All in All a nice park for all the family just needs litter picking and tidying up. Even on this second visit when it's raining it is such a pleasant relaxing place.

Lovely park, great playground for kids, outdoor gym. disappointed boats and rides not open, I know only April but it was school holidays 🤷🏻‍♀️Animals, mostly hidden away only saw a few birds and goats. Cafe good and reasonably priced.

I have visited that place today with my partner and our daughter and we were very happy. East Park is a massive park with plenty of attractions. There is a little lake with possibility to use Swan boats. Bouncy castles. And splash boat. Tokens cost 2 pound per person but you can get family options which cost you 20 pound for 30 tokens, so saves 10 pound. Park to big for one visit. Highly recommended for kids, families and for walking only. Animals section closed at 3:45pm. Park is open till 8:30 pm. A lot of parking places around. Slash area is very nice on sunny days. Just need to be booked online before arriving. Still free, sessions are 2h30m long.

A fantastic park we visited on a Sunday at the beginning of March. It is next to a leisure centre. There is a great animal education centre, duck pond and duck feeding dispenser. It was really cold, but still enjoyed the animals and loved the parrot keep saying hello when people had given up trying to get it to talk and walking away and giving up lol. I love that Hull has so many parks with animal centres/aviaries. This is the first time we visited this one though

East Park is a great day out. Picnic area, ducks, playground and animal area. We're regular visitors, highly recommended.

Large collection of scrimshaw work, and whaling memorabilia from the days when Hull was one of the world's major wailing ports. There are some fantastic ships models, and the silver cod trophy which was awarded every year to the ship with the largest catch. 1 one of the most popular items on display amongst children is the polar bear which was brought back on a ship on a whaling expedition.

Beautiful building. Closed for reconstruction

It's been a number of years since I last visited and enjoyed it just as much. Really good insite to the city's past Martine history. There is two floors of interesting exhibit.

We found it really interesting and our little boy loved looking at all the exhibits 😊

A quaint but one-of-the-kind museum set in UK's cultural city. An ode to the city's whaling past, this museum is one of the unexpected gems that I've come across during my travels. This museum is located centrally in Hull and hard to miss. It has two floors packed with myriad objects- from gunny sacks used for packing flour, accurate models of maritime vessels, paintings, Whaling harpoons, a blubber pot and more interesting things. It is well curated and makes for an interesting hour or two to learn about this city's vibrant past. Don't miss it if you are visiting Hull.

Great history & education of many working ships, from fishing, war , docks , pirates, etc ,this museum used to be the old docks offices before they redirected the rivers . Volunteers there are very knowledgeable of area & great to chat too.

one of the places you must visit while you are in Hull. It is located just within the city centre. and situated in a very nice building. Free entry and it’s pack of information about the maritime history. Definitely recommended for everyone.

Very informative place to bring young kids and students and it's all free to visit.

Had a bit of free time.So went wandering around the old town. Most of the buildings have traces of their past still visible and most have been sensibly re-purposed 😀😀It was time well spent and hardly any traffic. The photos are not the best but hope you like them and give you the idea to visit

This is an absolutely great place. Really underrated. Loads of great museums (streetlife and Wilberforce recommended) and some interesting back streets with coffee shops and eateries. Can't believe we waited this long to visit such a cool place.

Very nice place to visit. Lots of shops,great Marina and loads of history.

Hull has a wonderful asset, had great fun exploring the old town and also enjoyed a few drinks in some of the pubs.

This is a very popular area with tourists-little cobbled back lanes, access to the river and over to the Deep, the Museum Quarter… it has become a popular location for filming with the streets transformed to war time Britain.

Historical Hull very well preserved and surrounded by most of the city’s main attractions

Hull's old town is a small area of the city bordering the river Hull. It's where the city grew up in the Middle Ages along High Street with warehouses and merchants homes. Because of the old buildings and cobbled Streets it is often used for TV and movie sets. There are a lot of old historic pubs in this part of the town. It is also known as the museum quarter, with the street life Museum willberforce house and the Hull and east riding Museum all next to each other and free to enter.

That is great place, to get fru Hull, no even better place than this one over hull. Many beatyfull places in old town. Many pubs and bars. So many museums and the best of hull Marina, I will be come back here any time I'm able to do it . 5 stars thank you 😊 ✨️ 🙏 💛 💖 💓 😊

Hull's historic old town is a fascinating mix of architectural styles, quirky pubs, old narrow cobbled streets, the old fruit market, and a lovely 'boardwalk' trail alongside the River Hull, the Arctic Corsair (though at the time of writing the ship's been moved for restoration work and to a new home), The Deep aquarium, and skirting the old town and around to the marina.

Great area to visit that could easily be missed. Some lovely properties and olde world pubs and the usual trendy ones too. We had food and drink in The Lion and Key, and it is so traditional and serves good food. A great visit to Hull. The main city centre is great too for those who love to shop.

Great old place to visit, plenty of pubs, and museums to see.

There are some very cool pubs and bars around here that are worth visiting. Visit at the right time and you'll catch alot of fun activities for the kids and family. Plenty of museums and galleries here too. A very cool historical part of the city. One of the nicest old towns I've seen in the UK.

Ferens Art Gallery in Hull city centre is a must-see for art lovers! The collection is diverse and impressive, with works by both local and international artists. The gallery is well-maintained and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I particularly enjoyed the temporary exhibitions, which are always thought-provoking and well-curated. I also appreciated the free admission, which makes it accessible to everyone. Overall, a fantastic cultural experience in the heart of Hull. Highly recommend visiting!

Can easily spend a hour in this art gallery. There was an Egyptian section available when I visited. A cafe and gift shop are available when you walk all the way straight while inside the building, so you can always buy some souvenirs for yourself or take a break.

Hull's Ferens Art Gallery is a perfect example of what an art gallery should be! Fully accessible, the exhibits focus on women's invisible labor, the shackles and lies of patriarchy, the struggles of sexual minorities and transgender people, exposing the true moral of "The Song of the Sirens," which is "what would happen to patriarchal societies if women were more empowered and had the courage to speak out," with an additional question at the end for everyone to reflect on. It is recommended that art museums around the world follow suit!

A lovely art gallery with the finest collections from old to modern art, various exhibitions, all well curated. Children friendly. A must visit if in Hull, free entry.

2/7/22 Primarily came to see the Lego exhibition here, which was mind blowing. Also explored the rest of the gallery. It’s not a large gallery with only 12 rooms and a central hall but nevertheless has some beautiful pieces of art dating from the Renaissance period to the present day. The building itself is also a nice building dating from the 20s and feels as if you are in a building in New York from that period. There is also a shop and cafe but unfortunately on my visit the cafe service was a bit dodgy but the food was good.

The most inclusive gallery I have ever been to. Renaissance and Northern Europe art and open spaces for adults and children to submit their work curated equally carefully , a brilliant area explaining line, tone, shape etc. And it's free!

A really good art gallery, which is well worth a visit. Good collections of artworks representing all the major artistic periods from the Renaissance to Modern. The individual galleries are well laid out, with comfortable seating to rest and contemplate. It's free to visit, too.

Not large gallery, but very nice various artworks from classical to temporary. We spend about hour and half there and we really enjoyed in rainy day.

Short but sweet. A nice variety of art in a beautiful building, without feeling overwhelming with gallery after gallery after gallery. The lego exhibition was a nice touch with some interactive works that could be fun for the kids. If I ever find myself in Hull again, I'll probably stop by for a short visit.

What a lovely art gallery which has some truly remarkable and fascinating art work, everything is laid out well and the art work is in brilliant condition. Staff here are very friendly and helpful, with a huge smile on their face. Definitely worth visiting here, and it's completely free to enter which is a major bonus.

The British Museum’s Touring Egyptian Exhibition is a must see at the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull. With something for all ages, this fascinating exhibit explores the discovery of Rosetta Stone and the tomb of Tutankhamun.

Lovely place to pop into! Mainly portrait paintings to appreciate. Many galleries take you through different artworks, from late medieval to contemporary. European pieces ranging from Italian, Dutch, and French. Local and international artists. Central location. Perfect for families or solo. Kid-friendly. Free entry. Donations are encouraged. Exhibitions with art for sale, worth a browse. Instagram Links: Art Gallery @FerensArtGallery Reviewed by @cesamargaux

A great gallery, my family and I have been visiting for years. It's lovely and spacious and always has a nice atmosphere. Staff and volunteers are always really friendly. There are different exhibitions frequently alongside the 'regulars' that we know and love, some beautiful pieces!

Ferens Art Gallery is free admission and sited quite centrally, less than a 10 minute walk from the station and close to main shopping areas, City Hall, the ruins of Beverley Gate and also the Maritime Museum. Like any Art Gallery it is full of traditional art work from near and far; my preference however is always to look at the various temporary exhibitions. On my visit today I enjoyed the Tomorrow exhibition and especially the Young Artist Open exhibition which I visit every year. There is so much young local talent in that one space! These exhibitions finish on 1st October so watch their social media for details of what’s coming up, including a Canelletto exhibition. Good toilet facilities and an excellent cafe plus gift shop. Well worth a visit! Update: Popped in today as I knew there was a new exhibition in place: Are we there yet? Very colourful and fascinating; children will love this!

Well worth a visit with plenty of exhibits. We went in today to see the Canaletto paintings, one owned by the Ferens and the other loaned from the King's collection - amazing works of art, especially the later one as the detail is incredible. There's excellent food and refreshments in the cafe too with genuinely friendly and helpful staff.

A free Gallery with ever-changing exhibitions and brilliant permanent collection. Be sure to look out for the LGBTQ+ trail too. If you're ever stuck for something to do on a visit to Hull, pop in here. Such a asset to the city.

We had a lovely visit here when in Hull for the day. My husband had a lovely chat with one of the men on the front desk as he had years before lived in Hull for 10 years. The art was incredible but after asking if we could take pics we decided not to because of copyright issues. We had a coffee and cake at the cafe in there. ( the cappuccino cake was delicious! ) There's also a small gift shop. A very pleasing few hours especially as it was raining.

My mate and I were invited to sit on a panel , to debate Hull on the change. We were on at 18. 30 Thursday the 25 th of January. We had a great night with an audience of 80 people. There was a singer guitarist and later a dancer on. We had nibbles and a drink. A nother look around the beautiful museum and gallery. There was some beautiful paintings on display. One loaned by our king worth millions of pounds. Two more on show were also loaned to the Ferens art gallery were worth millions also.We particularly liked even loved the maritime 🎨 paintings of the old sailing ⚓ ships because we were fishermen, many years ago. We were invited by the head of the museum two weeks previously and we had a drink and a scone in the fabulous restaurant in there, and we we're waited on by the lovely ladies who also served us. Then we were shown around and what a massive place it is. There were statues old and new and the beautiful young lady who also chaired Our debate, was an artist also called Lucy. She escorted us round with Dom her boss of the museum. She showed us a self portrait and a picture 🖼️ on display which she had done. A very talented young lady. We had about 4 or 5 hours with them, the time flew , but they had to go to a meeting unfortunately. We could have viewed the 💕 lovely 😍 exhibits all day. I for one are going back again , it's well worth it and it's free. So please go if you get the chance. Marks out of ten? A definite ten.

Very informative & some recordings led by the Black folks along with mentions of Black abolitionists. What felt weird for me was the ceremonial mask that was offered to anyone (predominantly kids) to be played with.It was what made it a 3-4 for me. I’ve added a pic of it here. Another thing is little information on Hull’s involvement in the trade of goods made by the enslaved. It was a business & there is definitely more information like the actual numbers of these products. The anti-slavery medallions/coins were very interesting but I was again left with more questions. I think this section could be easily extended. Certain items were romanticising slavery & I didn’t feel like there was enough criticism of that

Part of Hull's museum quarter, Wilberforce House is the birthplace of William Wilberforce MP, who championed the anti-slavery and abolitionist cause in Britain in the late 18th century. The museum tells the history of the house itself and the Wilberforce family, from the building of the house to the life and times of William Wilberforce himself, a history of African slavery through to the abolition of the slave trade in Britain.

William Wilberforce was a politican representative for Yorkshire, he was also a leader in the moment to abolish the slave trade in the British Colonies. In this house museum, the ground floor is a showcase about William Wilberforce's personal life, whilst the first floor is an exhibition about slavery, including 2 videos.

I dont think it's a place that I loved . It was educational a reminder of past history which was sad and how times have not changed that much.. It made you stop & think 🎈

Wilberforce house tells the story of early slavery and one man's crusade to stop it .It will make you think about the pain and suffering they went through for fortune and profit thought provoking.

What an amazing museum this is. Packed with information and interesting artifacts. Very enlightening with so much background on the slave trade, politics, and life at the time William Wilberforce lived. There was so much more to see than I expected. So glad I visited.

It was a nice and lovely experience to visit the Wilberforce House Museum. It gave an indepth knowledge of what slavery looked like and the pains they suffered. It completely was a free entry. I had a nice time.

I think its more of what the man stood for and achieved than seeing chains and whips, that are displayed alongside his normal everyday life objects. We left here and went through the garden to the next door transport museum.

Wilberforce house is a grade one listed former merchants house in High Street backing on to the river Hull. This stunning building is home to the William Wilberforce Museum. A fascinating collection of Artifacts and showing the life of William Wilberforce, one of Hull's most famous sons. There is a lot to see in this museum, the building itself is fascinating and there is a lovely garden backing on to the river. In the pavement outside there are some of the fish and a crab which are part of the hull fish Trail. The museum is free to enter. Highly recommended.

I visited this museum many times as a child. The exhibits were very interesting to see, and also the waxwork of William Wilberforce in his original study.

This is one of the most thought provoking and evocative museums ever visited. The museum situated in the 'Old Town' area and Museums Quarter area of Hull and also owned by Hull Council details about William Wilberforce and the abolition of the Slave Trade. There are exhibitions about the life of William Wilberforce, the Slave Trade and also the Abolition of the Slave Trade and Wilberforce's involvement in the Aboliiton of the Slave Trade. All of the exhibitions are told in informative and thought provoking especially the exhibition about the Slave Trade detailing the origins of the Slave Trade, how they were transported to America from Africa on the boats and the horrendous conditions they lived on the boats and how they were brutally treated on the Plantations. The Great thing the exhibitions do is to make us think carefully and reflect on the horrific nature of the Slave Trade and the brutal treatment the slaves endured and how can learn from it as a society and also show respect to the different cultures around the world. All of the exhibitions are laid out in an easy to understand fashion and not too information loaded, which is brilliant. You can also see some interesting artefacts which are also equally thought provoking. The museum is also free admission and there are opportunities to provide a donation should you wish to do so. There is no cafe or gift shop on site with a gift shop at the Hull & East Riding of Yorkshire Museum with a range of souvenirs at decent affordable prices. Overall this is a fabulous and thought provoking attraction and learn about the brutality and horrific nature of the Slave Trade and highlights the good work of William Wilberforce did bringing about the Abolition of the Slave Trade.

Well worth a visit. Fascinating history of Wilberforce, campaign to abolish slavery, and great detail on African cultures, and much else besides. And again it's free.

Just home from a brilliant two-night stay at the Holiday Inn Hull Marina. Check-in was smooth, and the room was very comfortable with a nice view of the marina - with only a short, scenic walk to amenities. We had breakfast both mornings - particular shout-out to Louise C who was very accommodating to all guests. The breakfast food itself was high quality and both mornings was well stocked with hot and continental options. One night we also had dinner at the bar; the mushroom risotto was lovely. Will absolutely be back.

Stayed here a couple of times now and always had a lovely stay, the rooms are clean and inviting. the food never disappoints, and the breakfast well all you can eat what can you say. And Lauren is always very helpful and welcoming

Stayed here for one night and really enjoyed it. Only a short walk from the city centre and views of the marina/dock. Very quiet and couldn't here any noise from the city. Staff all very friendly. Very modern rooms and very large. Everything was provided that you may need such as, kettle, towels, toiletries and iron. All you can eat breakfast was very filling and good value, had plenty of vegetarian/gulten free/vegan options. Overall would recommend and definitely will be stopping here again when visiting Hull.

2006 I married my wife here, and when she passed away this month Aug 2022 I knew exactly where I wanted to hold the celebration of life. Afternoon tea served with tea and coffee for all the guests. It was great with the views on to the marina and outside seating. All the staff were lovely and nothing was too much for them. Thank you Holiday Inn

Stayed here many times and never had a bad experience , welcomed on Saturday 22/4/23 @ 15.00 by a lovely lady on reception , beaming smile and very friendly and professional immediately felt relaxed. Bar and food service were excellent value and quality (drinks were cheaper than the pub across the marina) all staff were fantastic and super friendly and genuinely seemed happy in there roles. Only slight criticism is the room we had was looking a little tired and dated and is ready for a refurb ,that said it was clean and comfortable and everything worked fine. Another fantastic stay in a great location.

Great location for being in hull. Decent room and good service received from the staff. Had dinner in the restaurant and was lucky to get it just before the kitchen closed at 9:30pm. Had 2 cocktails which were nice. The room was decent and had everything you needed.

Visited the hotel for the afternoon tea for two today. The food was beautifully fresh and we enjoyed everything provided. The coffee and tea was unlimited and the service from Brian and Lauren was perfect... There wasn't many people there when we arrived for 1pm so if you were looking for a buzz then you might be disappointed. However, for us the quality and service was spot on and no need for a crowd 👏🏻... Heartily recommend and would visit again with pleasure...

Visited for afternoon tea as a treat for a friend. The selection for cakes was lovely but I was a little disappointed by the sandwiches where there was no options to cater for different peoples tastes. I was also disappointed that you only got one drink included with your afternoon tea ... most places you would expect a refill of your tea and coffee in the price. We paid for a prosecco upgrade and that was nice , we were seated In a nice widow seat (heaters were on which given its end of April they didn't need to be! And one of out group was struggling with the heat) but we had a lovely view of the marina and I would say if weather was good you should ask to take tea outside. Additional drinks were not a bad price given your in a city centre hotel. Currently getting to the hotel is tricky given all the work in Hull but once you can follow the diversion it's not too bad. Ample parking just give your reg at reception which made life easy.

Stayed here for work. Staff were good and the hotel was fine. It's a bit dated, but I had no complaints with service, room or food. Great location and I got a good view over the Marina.

Amazing Receptionist services from Paige and Sally Breakfast host made our stay special. The room was spacious although the lighting was poor generally. Very convenient for walking to bars and restaurants alongside the river. Due to current major roadworks it was a bit fiddly to find the entrance to the hotel. There was a wedding on last night which took over the main bar and didnt really leave any space for hotel guests and was quite loud. That said we did enjoy it very much

3-night stay over the weekend. The reception and dining area are well presented but the corridor on my floor and my room looked very, very tired. Bed was somewhat comfortable. Sheets clean. There was the odd "body hair" in the bathroom, otherwise clean. Soundproofing was less than mediocre. There was a locked door in the room that connected to next door, you pretty much could hear all conversations happening there and seems for 2 nights of my stay it was occupied by a family with a baby that stayed up until around 1am. Supposedly there are two lifts for guests, but one of them was out of use throughout, and on my last overnight stay the other one broke down as well, unfixed even when I was returning the room. Not great. There's a range of choices for the hotel breakfast, fills the stomach but it's nothing to write home about. There's hot chocolate on the menu though wasn't actually available. Staff mostly friendly and helpful. Location wise, it's just a short walk from the city centre via a footbridge. Beware there's a £10 / night charge for parking on site - if you don't mind a 7 minutes' walk there're other options at less than 1/3 of the cost.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The room was well kept, well presented, and the view from the room was lovely. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely lady that was quite new, but her customer service skills, mannerisms, friendliness, and smile were excellent. She was a really good employee. A great visit from start to finish. Thank you to all the staff at Holiday Inn, Hull Marina.

I love this hotel purely because of the impeccable services offered by the hotel team. They made me understand the real meaning of hospitality. I praise their services because they are truly helpful, friendly, efficient and professional in terms of service industry standards. Even though the room is a bit old, the services offered by the hotel team overshadow any disappointments I found in the room. I would suggest anyone not to open the door of the balcony. Or else, some insect friends will come by to say hello to you. The food quality offered at their cafe was nice and in generous portion. Location is exceptionally good. Within walking distance, you may accessible to the most beautiful part of Hull.

One of my favourite hotels in the price range. Super friendly staff and dog friendly. The location is great for the best part of Hull with lovely marina views. Breakfast is first class and served from the early hours. The rooms are not lavish but a decent size and they have all you need including air conditioning, a complimentary mini bar and an extremely comfortable bed. Unfortunately the beds are not huge, we are used to a super king size not a queen size!! The other thing I should say is that I have stayed here many times in the last few years and the standard and friendliness of the staff never change. Highly recommended.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times whilst visiting clients nearby. All the staff are so friendly. The food is always good, and the attention to detail the staff put into dealing with food allergies is second to none! I've stayed in many IHG properties and the staff at this hotel are the best i've come across.

I travelled across the bridge from Cleethorpes with my husband and four friends to celebrate my Birthday . Straight away we were greeted by a very friendly lady on reception who booked us all In very quickly .The rooms were ok very clean and comfortable but a little dated . We dropped our bags and headed straight down to the bar again the staff were very welcoming the room was very clean and comfortable with great views of the Marina .We all commented on how stunning it must be in the summer when the room would be opened up and the terrace on the Marina could be enjoyed. When we returned we had more drinks and coffees in the bar other guests were doing the same and the atmosphere was lovely . When we went up to the room the hotel had left me a Birthday card and a bottle of wine on ice with two glasses 💕. Breakfast in the morning was outstanding for the price and again ALL the staff were so nice nothing was too much trouble and again went well above our expectations and came with a plate to wish me Happy Birthday with tasty treats on 💕 I only know the name of one person that made our trip so successful Lauren 😊 but what a great team you have at the Hull Marina thank you xx

Visited Hull for a business trip, there were some IT issues during the time of my check in on 07/03/2024 and I waited for nearly 40minutes though, the receptionist Habib volunteered to give me complementary drinks and snacks voucher and kept me engaged during that time it was really kind of him to do that. The breakfast was really good thanks to the chef and the service provided by Mis Sally was astonishing. This hotel is packed with a decent team and that’s the reason for its growth. Overall my stay at Holiday Inn Hull Marina was really good.

I have stayed at Holiday inn Hull Marina a couple of times for work and couldn’t be happier. Amazing staff, breakfast, service and rooms and location. Nothing is ever too much for staff. Brian at breakfast is wonderful as all other staff at reception and restaurant. Thanks to the amazing team.

Great hotel, comfy rooms, close enough to the buzzing town and restaurants but far enough away to be quiet. Was up on business and booked a breakfast grab bag as leaving early. Unfortunately it got mislaid. Not a problem though, Sally, the wonderfully friendly waitress said to make a drink and she would sort us something. Within minutes she came back with a bag with bacon butties in that she had got the chef to make for us, and they were great. No fuss, no quibble, Sally just wanted to make sure we, and everyone she meets, get fantastic service and a good meal. Cannot thank her enough, she personifies what great service is. She also remembered us from previous visits and made us feel welcome. Big shout out to the young lad on early shift this weekend as well, sorry I didn’t get your name, but he also remembered me from my last visit and my breakfast bags and welcomed me when I went for my coffee on the second of my early starts asking if I was ready for my pack up, thank you as well, you are also a credit to the team. So yet again another great stay at Holiday Inn Marina, will be back soon.

I managed to book in for completely the wrong day (like you do) but disaster was dodged by Habib and Debora on reception. I got a full refund even though it was through a third party agent and booked straight into a new room there and then, with complimentary breakfast too! What a star! What could have been a messed up weekend has been saved and I'm all set for a night out and visiting the family on mother's day. Great views of the Marina from the room! A shame the sun wasn't out today but you can't have it all ways... Big thank you for your patience and professionalism dealing with stupid customers 😁

Apparently this is a largest parish church in England. When speaking to one the keepers in the church, it was holding Guinness world record. The church is big and free to enter. I personally liked visiting the church as you could feel holy presence. Services are being run regularly, so it’s not just tourist attraction.

A lovely minster. Very welcoming volunteers. Some beautiful windows and architecture. Tearooms and toilets too.

I'm not religious, however, I always find myself fascinated with Hull Minster, the inside in particular. I most recently went here to see the Earth. I loved seeing the Earth but it was also nice seeing the architecture of the building. Hull Minster has an accessible entrance and most areas within the Minster I've been in have a ramp. I love the fact the staff don't push religion at you when you walk in. They let you appreciate the buildings beauty. The shop inside is reasonably priced and looks fab quality. I'm definitely going to go back when I can and buy some things!

This place really is a lovely venue. A classic historical building that is maintained well and utilised in a modern aspect. I have visited this place a few times now as part of the craft and flea handmade market. The volunteer staff within the minster are very helpful and friendly. The water features outside the front of the building are really lovely. Great for young kids to play in with no risk of hurting themselves

One of the historical landmarks of hull. Went around Christmas and we were able to see many types of Christmas trees! It was a nice place to visit

Stunning architecture and ceilings. The organ is pretty impressive too.

A magnificent example of the perpendicular gothic style architecture. Built around the 1280s, it is the largest parish church in England by floor area. Several million pounds has been spent on the minster over the last few years, cleaning the stonework inside & out, essential repairs, a brand new cafe/ tearoom is now connected to the church, but, still, work goes on. Despite Hull being the most bombed city during the 2nd WW, the minster was left unscathed as the Luftwaffe used it as a navigation point when on mission to bomb cities such as Liverpool. Volunteers are on hand & are extremely helpful & knowledgeable. Tower tours are available, (Check online or upon your visit), there is also a small shop. Note' entry is free, but, donations are very welcome. I recommend a visit to this stunning building when visiting Hull.

What a mess, when we visited they had taken all of the pews away to make way for some vinyl event. It completely ruined our experience of wanting to see a historical attraction of Hull. It's also a place of worship, we felt no peace here with modern day pop blasting through the abbey. Massively disappointed.

Hull Minster is a Magnificent building among the old building. We walked past this building for three years and had never been inside. I saw they had an exhibition and event on Facebook; furthermore, I know it played a crucial role in WW2. Today, 14/2/23, we walked past it again then I decided to go in. They have a new cafe attached to the church it looks nice. It is free entry, but you can donate if you wish. They have a small souvenir shop at the corner where you can buy various things such as books, toys or jewellery etc. It is gorgeous architecture, nice and bright. I like the big colourful mosaic window, which shows Jesus’s story and the art of the ceilings. I’m Buddhist, but I appreciate this building. I will be back for the event if I can manage it. P.S. It locates next to the Trinity market, so you can find something to eat quickly.

Beautiful building! I'm not religious but they were really friendly and allowed us to bring the dog in. Don't forget to look up as the ceilings are stunning too. Nice to light a candle for a lost loved one. Free food was available for anyone who needs it and donation system so you can give what you can afford

The most lovely and fascinating time here! I attended a tour of the clock tower and bells led by John and Don, what fantastic and lovely people they are. Worth the £6 fee and much more, I've never learned so much on a tour in the company of a beautiful, hospitable church.

Went for the beer festival. As a venue it was well organised had loads of great beers and enjoyed the whole afternoon.

Happened upon a free lunchtime concert that was great within the minster. It is very atmospheric, well worth a visit. Coffee shop busy.

Plentiful parking areas in the city centre. Hull Minster is a great place to visit. Architecture is impressive, and the stained glass windows are amazing. As most places of worship there is history to it, Hull Minster is no different. Hull Minster volunteers are friendly and welcoming, very informative about the city attractions too.

Really lovely lovely church - spent some time here just having a look around. Surprisingly large on the inside. The toilets are modern and clean and there are nice tidbits of information about. We went for a music event and the acoustics are unbelievably good. I think it's great that they offer events like this in the evening - would be a shame to not use it!

Hull Minster as always been a fantastic place to visit, terrific structure of the building to see from inside and especially going to the brand new cafe that just got built from the side "I believe so" ? Wonderful food, The salad bowl was fantastic.The cafe do take outs, so the Jam Sponge was Spot on when I tried it when I got back home. Recommend to all around the world 🌍 Scott Fowler.

The Hall & Stables at Burton Constable are truly a beautiful place to visit. You can really make a day of walking around the grounds alone, and there are so many quaint spots to sit and take in the house and views of the gardens. The greenhouse behind the Hall is so lovely, the views are unmatched. Many rooms to explore and a perfect place to bring your dog although must be kept on a lead. The staff are very kind, and so helpful. You can buy tickets in advance online or in the gift-shop/cafe as you enter next to the car park.

Went to this place on a Saturday afternoon but we were a bit late for the house. We looked at the outside buildings, stables, courtyard etc and had the best toasties in the friendly cafe. Decided to return to see the house next day which is excellent, and we also had a lovely walk in the extensive grounds. Went to the cafe again too!

Burton Constable is a fabulous property to visit. It is now owned & managed by a private trust, but still associated with the Constable family. The house is impressive, containing 100 rooms, although you can only walk through 32. The furniture, paintings, adornments etc, are very opulent, collected over several centuries. There has been a property here for 700 years. There is a large stable complex, plus an excellent cafe/tea room. Lancelot Capability Brown created a lot of the landscape & architecture. There is a beautiful lake which you can walk around, there are also picnic areas. You can purchase a yearly membership pass, if you do this, you will get back your entry fee. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this impressive property.

What an amazing house to visit, we go to a fair number of houses both National Trust and English Heritage and not finding one in this area we found Burton Constable on home maps which is a fascinating place which seems more real in comparison. Now run by a trust which The Constable family gave the property to in 1992 leaving it pretty much as it was at that time and requesting that it is kept that way after many centuries of family ownership. The staff are friendly and there are lots of stories and details. The 32 rooms were all quite different and interesting there was a children's trail of things to spot in each. Particularly understand the stories that goes along with the beautiful piano.

Fantastic visit. Plenty of space even though it was busy. The café was lovely as always, staff very friendly and the coffee was excellent. The have a go archery was fab, the people were all very helpful and patient.

We enjoyed a walk around the grounds and lake of Burton Constable Hall. More like a walk in the country than formal gardens. Nice coffee shop. Informative notice boards along the walk about the wildlife and the hall. We didn't go into the hall but I understand you can look round a large number of rooms.

A beautiful grand country house with well furnished rooms, a very impressive long gallery and a sweeping staircase framing a wonderful entrance hall complete with an automated replica orange tree. The courtyard contains the skeleton of a sperm whale washed up on the beach in 1825! There are display rooms on the top floor of various curios collected by former owners. The room guides were extremely well informed, enthusiastic and eager and were an absolute delight.

Lovely place to visit, dog friendly except house and they must be on a lead at all times. Dog friendly cafe and small a small shop in the corner of the cafe. Highly recommended 👌

We had the cobwebs and cream tea tour. We started with a self guided tour of the house. Then our very knowledgeable guide took us around the back areas, servants corridors and attics. It was outstanding. You need sensible shoes and knees that can take a lot of stairs! We had upgraded to the full afternoon tea, which was huge and delicious.

I really enjoyed our visit. The house is a capsule in time waiting to be explored. The art of decadence is alive and well as you explore the various rooms. Room guides are informative and only too willing to help. The grounds are designed by Capability Brown so far reaching vistas with trees, lake and plenty of grass.

On the outskirts of hull lies Burton constable Hall a fantastic day out with miles of grounds To explore a great Elizabethan house and Fantastic food at a reasonable price very Kid friendly as well!

Really enjoyed our visit, the guides in the house were super friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The cafe has a good choice of options, the sausage sandwich was excellent. Lots of cobblestones around the stable area might be a problem for those who have mobility issues.

Fantastic stately home, one of the finest examples anywhere in the country. Tickets are relatively cheap compared to other places with access to the house, grounds,stables, parklands and lake. The cafe is excellent with delicious food and very generous portions, can't fault it. The grounds are vast and well worth a walk around but it will take time and the house itself is huge and you can easily take two or three hours walking around it. It's well laid out and the route takes you through much of the downstairs and upstairs through bedrooms and parlor rooms each magnificently decorated. I implore you to talk to the guides that are in most rooms as it's fascinating to listen to them and you'll learn so much. A great day out if you're into Downton Abbey as this place will remind you of that. Thoroughly recommend visiting this home.

This was one of the best free museums we have ever been to. Absolutely fascinating history of man through the ages. Could have spent hours reading through all the information but as we visited with young children had to keep one eye of those all of the time. The museum is very well thought out and much bigger than I expected. I loved the layout of the path going through the different areas that explored the periods of time. So much history and artefacts from the area too which I loved. Absolute must see visit if you are in the area. And a great way to spend a couple of hours with the kids.

Lovely free little museum, that takes you though all the different Time periods, from the bronze age to the roman there is plenty to see and learn. Spent about an hour inside. Lovely gift shop .

A great museum, really enjoyed walking round in June 2021. Found the Museum Quarter whilst walking round and visited Streetlife first, then had a picnic in the Nelson Mandela Garden then visited this museum after lunch.

Packs such a lot in a small space. All really well presented and interesting. Great place

Great museum which shows East Riding of Yorkshire through the ages, from beginning of life with big Mammoth at the entrance through stone, bronze, iron age (with reconstruction of chariot from the chariot burial at Wetwang Slack) to more modern Celtic or Roman cultures up to Medieval period and beyond. Did I mentioned that entrance is free? Definitely worth visiting when you have a free day at Hull.

Free to visit, no booking is needed. The day I visited was having event, everyone dressed in medieval clothing. I could have enjoy some roast meat if I came eariler that day. The exhibition about evolution overlap a bit with The Deep (the aquarium), suggest visiting them in different day. A good place to visit in Hull.

Extensive museum covering the areas past. It is clearly laid out and is informative. The staff are nice! The museum could do with some updating and taking the signage into the 21st century. Overall, it is good for a free museum

Extremely interesting, well set out, grandson loved it Definitely worth a visit its free but donations are excepted

Going through the museum feels like taking a walk through the history of your shire and Humber region as far back as prehistoric times. Amazing

What a fantastic museum! I'm a Hull exile and haven't visited for many years and I was surprised and delighted. Great displays, clear explanations, and the wonderful mosaics! Didn't realise that so much has been discovered in East Yorkshire. I'll be back with my granddaughter

I took my two young nephews here and they loved it. The eight year old was full of telling me what he had done in school as we discovered each area. The three year old LOVED the wooly mammoth. We were fortunate enough to be there on a day that a craft workshop was running. Both boys made their own wooly mammoth model. The museum is great and really interesting. There are some steps but lifts are available for wheelchair users. It could benefit from some seating dotted around for those with mobility issues.

Free museum that is well looked after. The museum is wheelchair accessible in every way. Exhibits are amazing, they are split in to a different era, it looks like you are walking in to an area where it all happened. The museum is average size, you probably will spend there an hour tops. I definitely enjoyed my visit.

Can't believe it is free here! What an amazing museum. I found it so interesting and my 2 year old loved that there was so much that you could touch not just look at. He also enjoyed the dress up corner! A huge special mention to Jodie also, who helped my little boy be brave enough to go past the mammoth which he was intimidated by, I think due to it's size. She was absolutely fabulous - a huge thank you!

Good place to stop after visiting the deep to make a full day out. Made it round in less than an hour. But it definitely could be stretched out into an hour or two.

Loved this museum. Deceptively large. Very informative and great staff. Free to enter, but was very happy to leave a donation. Allow a couple of hours to read all the information provided and absorb the history 👍🏽

Potentially such a great outdoor and indoor museum but sadly, so tired and in desperate need of renovation and modernisation. Can't pay on card for admission - only cash. Toilets are dire with no hot water and displays are falling to pieces. Such a shame as so much fun and fascinating exhibits on our doorstep.

Interesting place, more 1960's in exhibt presentation, non-the-less interesting. Price - fine, see photo Smell - rooms and tunnels smelt damp, mothballs and fusty, I was not able to stay in. Accessibility - not really, steps up to the ramparts to view the Humber and mainly steps down into the tunnels. Ramps for the West Berlin Carriage and the Blackburn Beverly Plane, however access was narrow and the boarding very spongey, I would not want take a wheelchair up either and trust not to fall through or skin knuckles (for those self propelling) getting onto the ramps through the narrow openings. Otherwise, large grass area and paths to wander around. Ramparts - some views of the Humber, but trees are overgrown and block many of the views Toilets - fine, the cubicles need to be a little cleaner. I tried the disabled loo and the outward opening door was heavy to open. Children - grassed adventure play area, nothing interactive. Website - I asked where the tearooms were as mentioned on the Website and was told 'Oh, they went three years ago'. Food - 'The Bar' basic menu, nice, but nothing for veggies. I had chips (cooked in oil in its own dedicated pan), I could have had an egg, one of my my friends did and the staff went outside to collect it from their own hens. The Bar Staff, very nice and helpful. Car Park - free and plenty of space and reasonably accessible Visiting - I think take your pick, my second time there, but would go back if a visitor wanted to go...

Nice place to visit, but nothing special. To be honest the 6.5 pound entrance fee is kind of a ripoff, is not that good, maintained or interesting inside to ask for such a fee. (Max 5 would have been reasonable). Also you can not pay by card, had to search all the car for loose change to be let inside....

Great family day out... lots of war memirials to see... tanks aircraft etc. Check out when the enactments are on... they take right back in time with full costumes ... craft displays etc... there is a very good cafe insude the fort. Well worth a visit.

Great little gem hidden away. They have everything from cannons to aircraft. They only take cash and have an adventure playground for kids. The embankments give great views of the south bank of the Humber.

We had a interesting time looking around the old fort. You got to know about the tudor times to ww11. Some of the steps are very steep so you have to be careful don't wear high heel like I did. I think its worth looking around if you are interested in militaria. It cost £6.50 to get in.

Paid a visit for a battle reenactment and loved it. There is also a small museum structure to the place that has some very interesting information. The cafe does basic but tasty food. Certainly recommended.

This was one of the best free museums we have ever been to. Absolutely fascinating history of man through the ages. Could have spent hours reading through all the information but as we visited with young children had to keep one eye of those all of the time.

I took my two young nephews here and they loved it. The eight year old was full of telling me what he had done in school as we discovered each area. The three year old LOVED the wooly mammoth. We were fortunate enough to be there on a day that a craft workshop was running. Both boys made their own wooly mammoth model. The museum is great and really interesting. There are some steps but lifts are available for wheelchair users. It could benefit from some seating dotted around for those with mobility issues.

Free museum that is well looked after. The museum is wheelchair accessible in every way. Exhibits are amazing, they are split in to a different era, it looks like you are walking in to an area where it all happened. The museum is average size, you probably will spend there an hour tops. I definitely enjoyed my visit.

Can't believe it is free here! What an amazing museum. I found it so interesting and my 2 year old loved that there was so much that you could touch not just look at. He also enjoyed the dress up corner! A huge special mention to Jodie also, who helped my little boy be brave enough to go past the mammoth which he was intimidated by, I think due to it's size. She was absolutely fabulous - a huge thank you!

Good place to stop after visiting the deep to make a full day out. Made it round in less than an hour. But it definitely could be stretched out into an hour or two.

Loved this museum. Deceptively large. Very informative and great staff. Free to enter, but was very happy to leave a donation. Allow a couple of hours to read all the information provided and absorb the history 👍🏽

“Dirty Dancing:” All the cast love this theater for the show. More intimate feeling and closer to the audience. Great acoustic, ample space for changes and wardrobe village. Good site lines to the audience. Audience not to wide or high. Staff here very helpful. Gavin at stage-door told me the theatre opened in 1939. Laurel and Hardy use to play here. Also Chico Marx who tipped all the stage crew the equivalent of their weeks salary! Lots of security getting in and wifi takes at least 24 hrs to setup. (Never worked, but wifi in Hull is all dodgy.😂) Like the audiences here and am looking forward to exploring Hull. Many extraordinary buildings and much history here. I’m loving it.

A lovely theatre, with a bar where food can be bought. Not my first visit but this time we had stall seats for Six the Musical and it was awesome. Comfortable, great acoustics and a fabulous view of the performance, which, by the way, was incredible. Will be visiting again, and again....😍

On the night we visited, was a full house but only to be expected for The Lord of the Dance but the staff (in masks) kept everyone well organised and people moving. First time visiting since renovations completed and would appear a job well done.

Nice theater with friendly staff. Great location with a beautiful park in front of the theater, where you can spend some time while waiting for the show. Alternatively, you can relax in the bar if it's cold outside. The stage and screen are fantastic, although the audio system could be improved.

Went to see Pretty Woman. Great venue. Plenty of leg room. Glad we didn’t arrive much before 7pm as they didn’t open the auditorium doors till 7 and the bar/foyer areas was packed. This eased then.

Great little theatre. Only downside is the queue for bar especially in the intervals. Would be a good idea to have more staff or put a bar upstairs.

Went to go see Titanic The Musical with my family. Acting and singing was amazing. The work of sound and lighting helped set the scenes. Only downside was that food and drinks were a little expensive. £2.30 for a standard bottle of Tango and £3 for the price of a small ice cream tub. Pamphlets are sold at £8, whilst merch shirts are £25. Not bad if you are a big fan of the musicals though

My family and I went to see the pantomime on Xmas Eve. We managed to park up fine which was a surprise. Also, the staff in the bar were super organised and fast. The queue went down really quickly which was great to see these days.

Our family trip to Hull New Theatre's Cinderella was fantastic! The charming Buttons played a huge part in the magic. His impeccable timing and hilarious comedic bits had the whole audience in stitches, stealing the show with every scene. The lead actress dazzled as Cinderella, and the Ugly Sisters provided the perfect dose of outrageous villainy. The entire production was a whirlwind of catchy songs, dazzling costumes, and slapstick humor that kept everyone, young and old, on the edge of their seats. From the ornate lobby to the magical set, the theatre itself added to the fairytale atmosphere. Audience participation was encouraged, with cheers and boos erupting throughout the show. Whether you're a seasoned panto-goer or a first-timer, Cinderella at Hull New Theatre is a surefire recipe for festive fun – highly recommended!

Shrek, The Musical was a delight. Donkey was the star of the show...hilarious. But the rest of the cast were brilliant. The theatre itself lovely and clean...only lacking in the quantity of toilets ! And sadly one large man decided to wear his shrek ears throughout the whole performance !

Absolutely amazing, we have been to see a few things lately, but Wizzard of Oz & Shrek was fantastic, thoroughly loved them, the cast, set changes, the dragon in Shrek..wow she was an amazing singer, but they all was. Hull new theatre is easy to find, parking bit of a nightmare. But the theater is perfect, clean, easy to navigate, the staff are lovely and welcoming, we had food at theatre last time and was really nice Highly recommend

I have visited the theatre on many occasions and have always had a great experience. The staff are always friendly and efficient and any queues are always well managed. I’ve sat in many different seats within the theatre and love sitting in the front half of the stalls. Overall I always love visiting Hull New Theatre and have many more visits planned for the future!

It’s a long time since I’ve been to Hull New Theatre, mainly because I haven’t been organised enough to book seats to some of the amazing shows hosted there. It’s a great big theatre only 10 minutes walk from the Interchange (trains, buses, taxis) and very easy to find. There is a small amount of parking in the square and public car parks lose by. There is a wheelchair friendly entrance which is where all tickets are scanned, followed by a bag search. The staff are friendly and professional. I went to a matinee performance of Heathers and sat in the stalls so had a great view of the stage. During the 30 minute interval ice cream was available. The seats are comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy, although the carpet is rather worn. Very pleased that I’ve been organised enough to book tickets to some upcoming shows.

Great show.. we booked front row seats but was moved for technical reasons. When we got there our original seats were occupied by other people.. 2 of our party of 6 are very short ladies..who couldn't see or enjoy the performance... the so at £40 a ticket no we are not happy

The theater that I finally arrived at after a seven-hour plane ride and then a five-hour train ride was, without a doubt, well worth it!

A different experience... NOT the £85 share a cabin... This was a Birthday present wknd.. Booking VIP... inclusive of steward service... We've been fortunate to do both budget & VIP... would recommend either... Enjoy 😘

Just been on the Pride of Rotterdam mini cruise that incorporated the Rotterdam world harbour cruise. It was literally fantastic. They really looked after us and made fantastic memories for us. Thank you to all your excellent staff.

Well organised mini cruise to Amsterdam at half term. Easy to find Terminal 1 with large multi storey car park (£20 for 2 days). Quick check in and soon on board. Very friendly and helpful staff. Cabin small but adequate. Good music and reasonable price drinks at the bar. A couple of car alarms going off at night but otherwise slept really well. Good breakfast bit slow through passport control, but then straight into coach - 75 mins to Amsterdam. Dropped an easy, straight 20min walk on flat to city centre. Great day in Amsterdam then back on coach for return to boat. Really great food in brasserie restaurant that night.

I've been on several trips via this route; the one I just went on was the least satisfactory. Unfortunately, the food wasn't great compared to what it had been previous times. Not as much selection (could be due to not being full capacity), but I find that paying the same price should mean the same experience. But the staff was amazing and had a great time in Rotterdam

Fab experience from start to finish. Great communication From P&O for the booking. Easy online booking. Easy to parking right beside the ship and not expensive (£10 per day). The check in and passport control was a breeze and so professional. Once in the ship the crew were super helpful and I found my cabin(which was small but clean) easily. The ship is a little dated but looks good and was immaculately clean. The food was pre-booked in the kitchen (all you can eat) for £33 which included evening meal and breakfast was of a good standard and a great choice of options. Three bars (skyline, Irish bar and the showroom) were all really good with entertainment for all ages. The alcohol was slightly expensive but tbh that is expected. But a late nite pizza for €8:99 was really good value. The duty free was modern and much cheaper than the airport so I would not miss the bargains. There is so much more I could say but for £190 for two nights on the ship, all the food, transfers to and from Amsterdam and the entertainment this is a real bargain. I would highly recommend it. Well done P&O

Travelled twice now with P&O and both times had no problems, the second time we upgraded our room and it was definitely worth it for the double bed and TV and of course the mini bar (which was refilled for the trip back 🙂) we upgraded our breakfast but I didn't feel this was worth it to be honest as you can only pick one thing off the menu but if we hadn't upgraded we would have had all you can eat but still the breakfast was nice and for the price during the cheaper season you can't complain and I will be definitely travel with P&O again for a cheeky trip to Amsterdam.

Super easy to navigate through the site all the way to boarding and no issue with me getting there a few hours ahead of schedule, once on board really friendly and helpful staff couldn't have been anymore accommodating if they had tried, drink's in the bar weren't to badly priced either I thought. Rooms are nice and clean too.

Writing this here as I've contacted P&O twice and have yet to receive a reply. I recently travelled on the Pride of Hull service and have several complaints about the cleanliness and maintenance of the dog friendly cabin. Firstly- the door to my cabin does not lock from the inside, I have pointed this out to the staff on board but they are unable to change my room because all the dog cabins are booked so I have no choice but to stay in the room. I understand that doors are locked from the outside but as a lone passengers with all my work equipment and a 2 kilo dog I would have appreciated the extra piece of mind of having a door who’s accessibility I am able to fully control. Secondly- the cabin is not clean. I attach pictures for your reference but find it unfortunate that you are not able to stick to the floor when you walk as I can, it really adds to the ‘ick’ factor. I appreciate that dog cabins experience more wear and tear but basic hygiene and cleanliness can still be maintained, especially in the current global climate. The floor is sticky, there is dog hair from previous dogs, dust and rust in corners, stains on the floor, congealed (?) hair of previous passengers. It’s disgusting. And certainly not worth the money paid. I have travelled with this service before and I’m beyond shocked at the difference in experience this time around. I would like some kind of reply/acknowledgement that the service was well below par, P&O are very quick to reply to emails at the time of booking but the after care in on par level of their cleanliness.

The Pride of Rotterdam is a beautiful ship. Plenty of entertainment, bars, casino and restaurants. In my eyes this is a huge vessel. Part of our mini cruise to Amsterdam. PS the kitchen is all you can eat fir £22.50 and was worth every penny.

Wine served in unmarked and marked glasses. Clearly different amounts and @£10 a glass? Vehicle damaged on car deck by securing chains hitting rear bumper. Info’d crew weren’t on that loaded it and would be reported. Large wagons containers and buses trying to get off so couldn’t hang around. Reporting it will take up a lot of time and effort and probably not worth it but vehicle owners should wait and see their vehicles and those surrounding secured before they leave the HGV deck. On positive side cabin was excellent and steward very good.

Outbound to Rotterdam wasn't good - we had a double-bed Club Cabin situated on deck eight which was very noisy, being closer to the engines and the car deck car alarms. The cabin wasn't anywhere near as comfy or convenient as our deck ten Premier Cabin on the return. The latter had handy low level and main lighting switches between the beds that were missing on the 'posh' one. In addition, the mini-bar was a waste of space with very poor quality wine - The moral is, don't waste your money. On the good side, Hull and Rotterdam ports are easy to access and queue-free, unlike Calais, although the Dutch traffic was a bit fierce. Even though we travelled mid-afternoon from 'sHertogenbosch, we still met standing queues. We can recommend Brielle as an interesting town just 15 minutes from Europort where you can get a coffee and a snack before a traffic-free sprint to the port. A big thumbs up to the Malaysian(?) staff on the ferry who are unstintingly kind, friendly and helpful, unlike the Brits.

Good clean accommodation. Always helpful personel as you get to your accommodation floor. These people work tirelessly to give you a pleasant stay on the crossing. The restaurant serves good well cooked food. I don't think they rotate the meal selection that often. However, you can always find a meal which is tasty. I prefer an cabin with a view. But having said this the internal cabins are still very comfortable.

I take the Ferry for the first time and it was awesome! Basically you park your car and then you can enjoy the journey.. they have restaurants, bars with live music, cinema, play area for children and the rooms are quite small but very functional

Went on the Amsterdam mini cruise, parked in the multistorey at the port £10 per 24 hrs and walked straight into the terminal staff were very helpful. Once on the ship we couldn't be happier everyone on board was happy to help and made us feel welcome. We upgraded to the double superior cabin that had double bed and tea/coffee facilities in the room, it was clean and tidy. In the evening we grabbed a pizza £15 each from the cafe and then had a drink in the show bar that had live entertainment on, the prices are about the same as in town £5 a pint and £9 for a cocktail. Ended spending the evening in the sky lounge listening to the live entertainment a guitarist and singer called Dave. The transfers to and from Amsterdam were perfect. After spending the day in Amsterdam we got back for a night crossing, staff in Netherlands were just as helpful as the UK, we went to the sky lounge for a drink and was pleased to see Dave playing, so spent the evening there relaxing. Great experience from start to finish.

Great option to get from North to Rotterdam. Boarding starts at 4pm and bars cafes and restaurants open from 5 over 3 hours before boat leaves. 2 Cinemas, Casino, Piano lounge, Show lounge with singer live band and disco , in short it's a cruise liner. Food and service good value

Such an easy way to travel to Holland from northern England. Put your feet up, have dinner in the brassiere, go to sleep and the next thing you know you’re in Rotterdam. We traveled with our two spaniels in a dog friendly cabin which was really nice and it was so easy compared to the Chunnel without all the pet centre faff. Everyone was so nice, friendly and very helpful. If you are travelling with your side kick try and book as early as possible as there are only a few dog friendly cabins. 10 out of 10! We will definitely be doing this again

We returned on P&O from Hull to Rotterdam yesterday until this morning. Practical and good to travel instead of flying. And we make it quite often to travel by ferry as we are happy with it. Cabin functional. Beds with mattress to sleep well in. You have Entertainment, pubs + Bars, Kitchen Restaurant and Bistro to choose. Sundecks which was due to good weather to sit there a longer time. Just the wifi is not stable as it is overloaded by so many users during that time of stay on the ferry.

Immaculately clean ship. Food in the brasserie was perfect & precisely what you ask for. All of the staff are very professional, friendly, & well mannered throughout the ship. Cabins are perfect, too. It's super clean, very soundproof & a great nights sleep 😴 💤 I will definitely be doing more trips in the future. 😁
