A great, very enriching, and fun experience. Be sure to plan a break at the museum restaurant and to visit the temporary exhibits and the virtual reality tour on your way back—especially since these aren’t included in the basic ticket price. Although there were plenty of explanations, we appreciated having the audio guide as well.

Overall, it was a great visit—we learned a lot, and the facilities were clean and well-maintained. The only downside was that we couldn't visit the Titanic Bridge because it was closed—there was a ship docked there—and the snack bar was disappointing: the sandwiches were very expensive and the bread wasn't fresh...

Great! But it's best to take your time. Plan on two days. That's better.

Arriving right when it opened was perfect for finding a parking spot and exploring while there weren't many people around.

The fish exhibit is great—it's magnificent. As for the Titanic exhibit, though, the wait for the submarine was way too long! I really liked the movie-themed part with the headset. My friend thinks it's too cartoonish!

Be sure to check out the cruise ship stops.... It's not eco-friendly, but it's impressive to see.... The museum is great.
