The Box

Mix of maritime, art, war, natural history and TV/media exhibits. All free to visit and able to move around accessibly. Room guides were informative and helpful. Loved recording the new in front of a green screen. Delicious food in the café and the shop had quality stuff.

The newish Box museum in Plymouth is a real treat. Wide range of displays well put together and described. Terrific museum shop. Some interactive displays for children and bigger people. Staff were a joy to speak with.. they loved their work.

I went into this place expecting very little. I really enjoyed some parts of it. It is worth a visit given it is free. I left a donation because we all enjoyed it so much. My only criticism is the large number of staff. There are groups of staff just standing around talking. My main issue with this is it ruins the feel of the place. But secondly, this is tax payer funded a six staff standing in a small library talking is probably a little much.

Definitely worth visiting! I was surprised how great the museum is. It's much bigger than it seems at first. It has very interesting and impressive exhibits with modern technology

Excellent and free! Lots to see and do for all ages. Good access and close to main shopping centre

Great free museum. Really interesting items displayed well. Loved Scott’s skis and the insect display. A fantastic afternoon out. The kids really liked it too!

Well it's been updated...but apart from some ships figureheads and a dead elephant there's not that much new. That's not to say as it's not worth seeing, it is, just don't be prepared for a wonder box of newness.The box is however now .uch more wheelchair/ disabled friendly. All flat and excess able with lifts. You do need help with some of the doors ,but there are lots of helpers about. Very nice people, full of knowledge.The only not so good bit is the cafe prices. If you are going to eat the pizza is the best value. The adult all day breakfast at £13 is really sparse for the price. The food it self was well cooked and good ingredients, but 1 sausage, 2bacon 1 egg, some beans half a tomato and 1 piece of toast, really over priced.The waiting staff were lovely and the drinks were good.The last time I went was before the box was built. Would I leave it a few years till the next time?? Probably. Unless something exciting is being exhibited.Certainly worth a first visit.
