M/S Maritime Museum Helsingør

We thoroughly enjoyed the Maritime Museum! This is another example of how Denmark is leading the way in making museums appealing to children. We're not particularly fond of maritime history, but this museum makes you want to know everything about the history of shipping. It's an impressive place where you can wander among gigantic ships and beautiful galleries. It's a true paradise for children: the play area is super fun and creatively designed — our kids didn't want to leave! The exploration of the museum made everything even more fun and interactive, although we had to ask for it ourselves, as it wasn't offered spontaneously at the ticket office (probably because we spoke a different language? It was indeed available in English). The "boat in a bottle" workshop was also a great success: for about 6 euros, you get a fun, guided craft experience and a lovely souvenir to take home. The only downside: the staff at the entrance weren't very friendly to us, which is a shame in such a child-friendly museum. But once inside, you quickly forget about that. The staff at the workshop and café were incredibly helpful. In short: highly recommended for families who love adventure, games, and stories at sea!

Exciting experience. The shop was expensive though.

Gorgeous museum design and unbelievable ship models. Located in a unique setting. Very impressed.

Visited with wife and two year old during summer vacation. The play area was beyond expectations and nice architecture/design of the premises. Didn't have time to listen or read much of the signs though. Recommend a visit also for families with children.

Interesting exhibitions for the whole family in a cool venue

We didn't think the museum was a great experience. There are no objects you can try and touch. However, the exhibition about the shipwrecks of the Baltic Sea was very interesting.

Anyone in Helsingør should visit the museum. It has an interesting exhibition, and there's also something for children.

It is a very interesting museum. A lot has been done to make it fun for children. Many many beautiful ship models😊 We will have to come by another time so we can take it all in😊

One of the best museums in Europe, probably one of the best I ever visited, But the recommendation is to plan 2 hours of time

Beautiful exhibition, well thought through composition. English descriptions for every object in the museum, and a friendly staff.
