The self-guided tour through this majestic ship using a cell phone type of equipment given at the door help you navigate the tour. There are staff members along the way to assist and give additional information. Actual relics, a man who actually explored the location of the Titanic under the ocean discusses his adventure to the deep. This museum is very educational. The famous staircase was absolutely beautiful! (Find someone ahead of time to take your picture, as staff are not allowed to take pictures for you). Feeling the water gives you a sense of what was endured by the passengers, crew, and, yes, even 10 dogs that were on the ship that fateful night. Many experiences take you to that night including parts of flooring you can elect to try out to give you the feeling of the pitch of the ship at different stages of its 2.5 hour sinking. Hear recorded accounts from actual survivors, some hands-on things for kids, and a large replica of the titanic in Legos built by a young boy diagnosed with Autism (very impressive). (You can look him up online “the Lego Boy”. The gift shop has many interesting items, very reasonably priced; you can find just about anything you may be looking for in there and it doesn’t break the bank. Highly recommended. I like to read EVERYTHING (lol) so it took me 2 hours. Otherwise, if you use the device to hear the recordings as you move through, you can navigate it in less than 1 hour. I loved getting the Boarding Pass in the beginning of the tour, reading about her, and looking for “my” name on the wall of passengers to determine if “I” survived or perished.
