This is a definite must-see! If you get there in time for a tour do it. My tour guide was Beth and she was very knowledgeable and personable. You could tell she really cared about the ship and its history. When you visit, make sure you pay your respects to Diego the cat, who is the honorary captain of the ship!

This was one other attraction I had pencilled in, and had mixed feelings.The ship is full of history and there's loads to keep you occupied as you travel the 4 decks, inside was great but externally it is in need of extensive repairs,but don't let appearances but you off.The staff were great and answered all the questions put to them, they have a real love for the ship and hope it can be restored to even a small part if its former glory. Just a heads up the bottom decks are low, and a mean low, so be prepared for a bit of a stoop, not sure how the crew managed. In all a great end to my few days in Dundee

Walking along the street toward the berth at which the vessel is moored, we both looked at one and other and thought...... blimey. Is this a real venue? Luckily we sucked it up and stepped aboard and with that we were warmly greeted by the front desk person who ensured we were well informed and welcomed. As far as 200yo vessels go, its amazing to think it still floats and as complete as it is. A great many number of artefacts and stories to be read and hear as part of the joined up tour. 100% recommend a visit to anyone.

The unicorn is situated a street in from the waterfront close to Discovery point, so conveniently both sites can be done in one day. The ship unusually has the roof it was built with, as it never saw active service this was not removed. It does add to the unusual appearance. We were welcomed on board by the friendly staff and Diego the ships cat. Then it’s back to the quayside to watch an informative video in a small cinema. We were fortunate that Robert a knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteer offered to show us round in a guided tour. There are 4 decks to explore and the headroom gets lower the further you descend. It’s interesting to see the improvements in shipbuilding techniques since the napoleonic era. One of the highlights was the doors taken from an impudent French man of war at Trafalgar! The Unicorn still has most of its original timbers, so it the most complete historic ship still surviving. Definitely a museum worth visiting,

The ship is a hidden gem! It was really well maintained and clean. We had a fantastic tour with David who was friendly, informative and always reminding us to watch our heads to keep safe. There is lots of engaging educational boards, videos and interactive points throughout the ship. Every member of staff was really welcoming and friendly. We would highly recommend.

We visited HMS Unicorn and went on a guided tour done by Tony. Tony was very informative, engaging and answered any additional questions we had. As someone who would say they aren't that interested in history, I was fully invested in finding out more about this fantastic ships history. The stories we were told were inmersive and I could imagine myself being on board back in the day. Definitely a trip worth taking, whether interested or not in history! I'll definitely be back! Thank you so much HMS Unicorn!

Visited here today with my son after lunch. Apart from another couple we were the only visitors, so took advantage of a guided tour by one of the staff. You wouldn't need to be particularly interested in ships to really enjoy the visit here, but as a marine biologist I was perhaps a bit biased! Very well laid out, with informative interpretation boards and optional audio points. Got to handle a cannonball, as well as chain shot next to the glass fibre replica cannon which had me fooled - apparently the original ones are now too heavy for the decks. Ventured down to the hold where head space was extremely low ( and I felt my age bending over!) but again, well worth the effort. All 3 staff we met were very welcoming and informative, not forgetting the large resident cat who submitted to getting stroked. Thoroughly recommend here for a visit, and I'll probably come back later with my wife to show her how good it is.

Really great visit. Very helpful and friendly staff, a very well preserved boat with an interesting story and 4 amazing decks to visit. They also have little hunts to do for the kids so the parents can take the time to read or listen to the boat's story. Convenient QR code system to replace the audio guides. Definitely worth a visit !

I decided to see HMS Unicorn on a visit to Dundee because I was fascinated to see such an old ship. I was also lucky because in January it is half price at £4.40 compared with for instance £17 to see Discovery. I did not realise they did guided tours but the timing worked well and I had a tour with Tony. Because this was off season I was the only person on the tour and it felt like a private history guide. Tony was friendly and answered all my questions and gave me lots of insights - especially into how various common sayings actually come from old ships. It felt really special. Highly recommended.

Half the price but double the experience. Had a great time learning about the history of HMS Unicorn. We came a little bit late in the day and were the only two touring the ship but that didn’t stop the volunteers from talking to us about the story of the ship. We had a great time learning and a few bruises on our heads from the lower decks. Thanks guys if we are in Dundee again we will visit with more time. I can’t remember our tour guides name :( but she was really helpful…thanks from the two gents on Thursday 18th evening :)
