My husband thoroughly enjoyed his belated 60th birthday present of a half day experience. He was able to handle and learn about a wide variety of birds of prey. The experience was great value for money and he would recommend to all.

I really enjoyed my wander around this vessel, it gives you a flavour for life aboard the vessel and the pirate radio exhibition takes me back to listening to AM radio in my youth. There's a great collection of equipment and vintage radios of all sizes and as an electronics engineer I enjoyed perusing the large collection of practical electronics, a magazine I used to read back in the day.
