Action Stations

Action Stations brings the modern Royal Navy directly to our visitors with an exciting mixture of physical challenges, simulators and technological experiments.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to go into battle with the Royal Marines or command a warship or fly a helicopter? Visitors can test their skills on displays, climbing walls and simulators in Action Stations' showcase to the skills and aptitude of the senior service.

The InterAction Gallery invites visitors to enter the world of marine technology, designed to spark the imagination of all members of the family. Twenty-seven exciting activities bring you an astronaut's view of the world, the science behind propulsion, state of the art satellite communications and making radio waves. Understand why the moon affects the tides and discover the amazing Magic Plant© which can show moving global climate and temperature patterns around the Earth - and beyond!

All inclusive tickets for one entry to HMS Victory, Mary Rose & Ship Hall, Harbour Tour and unlimited entry to HMS Warrior 1860, Royal Naval Museum and Action Stations are also available.
