Visited on a wet and windy day. Got there at 10:50 and no queues walked straight in. Different story when we came out with long queue. A very warm welcome at the entrance, and time made to chat. Good signage around the cavern, lighting and visual displays added to experience. Maybe a bit dated, but liked the feel and experience. Well organised for Covid with hand sanitiser regularly available. Toilets on site were closed, but we'll aware of this beforehand. A torch might be useful as it is dark in some areas. Our walk around took just over an hour.
Loved this. Underground caves, very dark and a bit cold, a bit scary sometimes, informative. I do recommend to buy a small torch at the entrance, easier to navigate and walk because sometimes, actually really often, you dont see the floor, too dark. So with torch you will know on what terrain you're walking and you'll be aware of every step and uneven surface.
An interesting place to visit; effectively, its a museum built into the old caves and you learn about smugglers. The caves are quite dark, but are lit with coloured lights in places. Our girls (11 and 5) were a bit scared to begin with, but after a while they were excited to move onto the next section to press the button and listen to the voice over tell a story and watch the manikins move. For 36, our family of 4 were entertained for an hour, learnt a bit of history and come away with a souvenir from the shop.
Great experience. I grew up in Sussex and went here a couple of times on primary school trips. Took the opportunity to visit over 20 years later whilst on a random trip to Hastings and found it sustained all the nostalgia and atmosphere I recalled from my childhood days. Mixture of educational, spooky, brooding and romantic. Yes, the wax models and exhibitions are old as flagged on here by several reviews by what I suspect are largely young parents with Gen Z/Alpha kids expecting Pirates of the Carribean Disneyland, though this conveys all the gritty romanticism of the era. Love the voice overs. Great charm and storytelling throughout. Keep it up guys!
Shame its not yet open, but had a great time over a year ago when we came down to visit. Children loved it!
I lost all of my kids going through here way too BLIMMIN dark to see where the little runts went so I gave up looking and I dont know how to change my Google picture from this CHAV I am disgusted that children aren't marched down on gun point!! Sincerely, Margritt Bartllit
Great value for money, had a good laugh with partner and 7 year old daughter. Lasted over an hour. Very cold, take warm top or coat. Bring a torch or you will end up buying one. Don't park right next to the park as you have to pay. It's free up the road.
