A holiday in Jersey is not complete without a visit to Jersey War Tunnels to learn about and experience one of the most difficult periods in the Island’s history.The story of the German Occupation of Jersey is as compelling as it is strange to think that this small area of Britain was Occupied by the Nazis and forced to fly the Swastika for five dark years.The Jersey War Tunnels are no ordinary museum, they are an unforgettable experience. Dug deep into the hillside within St Peter’s Valley, the Tunnels were originally intended to be a barracks and ammunition store for the occupying forces. Today they tell the story of the Occupation, looking at how all sides coped under such extreme conditions and examining the daily dilemmas that were faced by island residents and the authorities, whether Jersey, British or German.Outside the Tunnels, you can enjoy quiet moments in the Garden of Reflection or a woodland walk along the historic War Trail. Refresh yourself in the Pantry Cafe or enjoy the shop and craft activities in LoveBird Too.

The zoo's onsite facilities include two cafés, 5-star glamping at Durrell Wildlife Camp, a hostel and the Durrell Conservation Academy.

Built on a rocky islet in St Aubin's Bay, Elizabeth Castle has watched over Jersey's main seaway for more than 300 years. At low tide you can walk out along the causeway or, if you want to experience a different way to travel, catch the amphibious Castle Ferry at low or high tide. Elizabeth Castle is the perfect place to spend a day exploring Jersey's history. Climb the battlements dating back to the 1590's, when Sir Walter Raleigh was Governor of Jersey from 1600 until 1603.

The Museum will open on Sunday the 16th of May from 10 till 5 and are hoping to re-open 7 days a week very shortly. The display is unrivalled on the Island and is housed in a real German bunker that was once part of Hitlers Atlantic Wall, all of which gives you the feeling of what it was like to live here during the Occupation. Wether you have a passing interest or find our recent history fascinating there is something for all, to see read and hear. The Museum is the work of one man who started collecting at the age of 7 and who is still looking for original items from the time. There are items added every week and there is always something new to be seen even if you have been before. Admission is £5 for adults and £3 for children, which is great value for money. We look forward to welcoming new visitors to the Museum as well as those who return every year for another look around.
