Although the merchandise is expensive this is definitely worth a visit if only to watch them at work. You get to see the entire process or you can just browse all the magnificent pieces. We have been there twice and bought small glass animals both times. More

Glassblowing beautiful objects is truly an art form. You may stay and watch as long as you like. After doing so you may purchase one of the lovely creations. More

I have been to a few other glasswork places during my travels, like the Maltese ones, and I would have to say that this far less impressive and the items for sale overpriced in comparison with what you can get at home or other glasswork places. More

This was a very interesting shop where you can actually see glass art being made by hand, and there are crowds standing around watching this fascinating craft. They do sell artwork, but make sure that you bring your wallet as the artwork is very expensive. More

Visited the Dockyard Glassworks twice during a recent 1 week stay in Bermuda. It was wonderful to watch the artists at work. The glassworks has a seating area for visitors to watch items being created. Very friendly staff with lots of exciting items to browse. Be careful though...lots of breakable items on display! Prices are reasonable. Free admission!! The Glassworks... More

It's nice to watch the glass-blowers at work and the display room is chockoblock full of beautiful glass objects to LOOK at. Unfortunately, the hyped up prices insures that they're hoping to sell to the tourist in search of one-of-a-kind (after all, these are almost exclusively display-only). Check the '50% off' table before falling in love with any one thing... More
