What an amazing museum! We had our guide Claire talk us through the museum for almost two hours. Her passion and knowledge was exceptional. What she told us about Cook, the era in which he lived, the Quakers, Joseph Banks etc was so well researched. Ask for Claire as your guide.. you won't be disappointed.

We particularly wanted to see the special exhibition about Captain Cook crossing the Antarctic circle, and were very lucky to have volunteer John take us round it. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, putting it all into its historical context. The whole museum was excellent, bringing the people and the period to life. We ended up spending must of the day there. We plan to visit again next year when the next exhibition starts, and our one year tickets will still be valid. Thank you to John, and all the staff and volunteers who make this a really memorable place to visit.

Great museum and very insightful. Staff and volunteers are excellent. Lots of interest for children too. The entry ticket is valid for a year which is excellent value and there is a changing exhibition so you get to see something different when you return perhaps. A controversial character and era and the museum has left me with an interest to read further. I loved the georgian architecture and history too. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

What a lovely museum. Even if you don't know much about Captain Cook, this museum is a great introduction to the seafaring history of the town. Really well presented and a wee oasis of calm in the bustling town.

Very Interesting Museum, more than just about Captain Cook but also other people he knew and/or associated with, along with his achievements. Well laid out, informative and friendly staff, historical building. Well worth a visit.

Like Clifford's Tower (York), this was my first visit to the museum for several years. The museum is housed in what was Cook's house while he was learning his seafaring skills. There are 2 floors and the attic, with various rooms and itmes of interest to look and learn about, like the vatious voyages that Cook made during his lifetime, there some lovely paintings on display. There is a £9.00 admission charge, which is valid for 1 year so can visit as many times as you want. Godd value for money.

Always wanted to go. The staff are very knowledgeable. I thought the exhibits were well laid out and stunning as you get a real insight into Cook's seafaring career. Keep the leaflet with you when you go through the house as it gives you an overview of each room you go in to. It's also great for children as they can go on a hunt through the museum and - I'm sure I heard this right - win a stinky starfish? 😂 Your ticket is also good for a year & if you're lucky, some exhibits will change the next time you visit. Anyway, I loved it. Its suitable from the niche historian to the kid that's probably not to keen - go and have a look!
