  • This heritage centre is located in former railway buildings on the quayside at Cobh. It is literally a 2 minute walk from the station or from a visiting cruise ship as was our case. You can enter...

  • It was a very entertaining visit for me. They had live music on - a choir. It was a bit difficult to listen to the thing on exhibition though. There was also smell of cabbage coming from the kitchen. I guess it only adds to the environment of Irish culture. The on-street parking was free everywhere in town in April 2022.
  • I had low expectations, but was wonderfully surprised on the curating and interaction of this museum. Lots to learn about life in Ireland as well as the Titanic sinking and the Lusitania sinking. If you have time in Cobv and like museums, this is a good one to visit!
  • Really interesting learning about where the Titanic and the other 2 boats were build. The movie is nothing compared to the real thing. In fact the movie as false. A must visit if you want to learn more about the Titanic, Oceaniac and Brittanic. The little gift shop is also intresting. Nice memorabilia to send to loved ones. The Port is home to navy ships and crew ships. Easy access to the train station. But beware the children can be kinda rude around these areas.
  • Highly recommended to see. Super nice and friendly staff. They have lectures in various languages.
  • Great exhibition. Also has access to genealogical records, which is well worth allocating a little more time as this can be a pleasant distraction.
