We loved it! Many of the artifacts here are a result of the museum owner’s own expedition to the Titanic ruins. It is chocked full of information, photos, audio accounts, interactive exhibits, and museum docents dressed the parts. The boarding pass received at the entrance makes the experience more personal - were you a survivor, or not? One of my favorite rooms was the music room. The docent played a song on the piano that passengers heard on the Titanic.
The only complaint I have is certain rooms NOISE levels made it HARD TO HEAR either a speaking docent, an exhibit video, or the audio wand we held to our ears. Some patrons turned the volume up so loud & just carried their audios out from their face - which meant we ALL heard theirs too! Plus, taking babies & small children is not ideal as their short attention span and loudness or restlessness added to the distracting noises. Our 12 & 14 yr olds enjoyed it, but even for them there is much to see & read.
We arrived at opening time on a weekday to try to avoid crowds, but there are just a lot of people. We spent nearly 3 hrs here. Every room has alot to see. Gift shop is at the end. Photography allowed on the 2nd floor only, not the 1st floor.
