    As I was born in Hull and left around 60 years ago I can remember what the High Street used to look like and it has changed almost beyond recognition, I recall visiting the original Transport Museum many times prior to this lovely place being opened, I only wish time would have allowed a longer visit but if we return again this will be top of our list.

    We visited on a Saturday afternoon with a couple of hours to spare, after booking a 30 minute time slot online. The Deep is a bit tricky to get to - we followed the brown signs rather than the sat nav which sent us in another direction. The admission is not cheap but good value when you can revisit more than once within the next 12 months. Being unwilling to wait for the lift, we took the several flights of stairs to the top floor where the tour starts with a series of descending walkways. It was interesting to find out when the world was created and animal life developed. At each information point, the overhead commentary was clear but some of the large, hanging information boards needed improved lighting to be read clearly. Whilst the main attractions are the penguins and large fish tank, there are many smaller fascinating exhibits well worth seeing with good information displays. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our only disappointment was the bland sandwiches in the cafe which for £3.50 had a thin filling between 2 slices of bread. Appreciating you are a non-profit organisation, I'm sure you could improve them.

    Tom and I drove across the bridge twice, paying a hefty £3 return, but you only live once. This is definitely one of my favourite bridges. I'd say the Clifton Suspension Bridge tops it, but it is a close call. The views are just breathtaking. I think we will make the 3 hour round trip again to cross this bridge again.

    beautiful park shame that when we visited the water area was closed, the animals in the zoo part seem well looked after

    Not to be missed! A stunning minster with so much to see, do, learn, find. Very helpful team of volunteers willing to share their expert knowledge and insight.
    A real gem for all ages (plenty to keep children occupied) as well as those wanting to admire the architecture, spend time reflecting, finding the mice (!), or viewing temporary art exhibitions.
    Possibly the best loos in Hull. And a brilliant new cafe (Trinity Room) to end a very lovely few hours.

    Lovely walks around the town with plenty to visit and see.
    We walked around the marina and passed the many shops and bars which were busy with people and had a nice atmosphere.

    The museum was much bigger than I expected and I loved the themed displays and decoration for the areas as it really helped to bring the items to life and show them in context. The lady who welcomed us was very friendly. Will certainly be back to visit again when I have more time, especially since the museum is free to enter.

    On a day visit to Hull, we popped in to the gallery and coffee shop. It is beautifully laid out with friendly volunteers and staff. Some lovely art available to buy. We were very impressed. Wish Yorks Gallery was as good!

    Fabulous part of the Hull museum Quarter. We got the train from our holiday home in brough and walked up. What a great day out. Children from 14+ and adults spent a few hours overall. Really good day out.

    Having last utilised the Pride of Hull for a trip to Amsterdam on the past, I was aware of the facilities that this magnificent vessel boasted. This trip didn’t disappoint.
    Starting with the frankly superb ‘Livin It Large’ that were mesmerising revellers on deck 8 with some phenomenal cover versions of music from the hit parade - though if Andy Martin would perform a comeback tour I would highly recommend for the music aficionados. The entertainment was truly world class.
    The opportunity to lump on red in the casino was too great and I took full advantage.
    The Irish bar on deck 9 was home to the more discernible drinker and here was where the political debates of the day took place. Hey Bruce, think you’re right about that Russell Brand character!
    The restaurant and brasserie are home to Michelin starred artists and what these guys can do with a microwave is unbelievable.

    The crossing was fantastic and all in all I would very much recommend to the businessman of the north, the family explorers and the lonely depressed truck driver alike. 4/5

    Nice marina with a good vibe and lots of restaurants and bars. Unfortunately Hull is a big dump and so this place stands out even more as the best part of the town. Wort a look

    Unfortunately this museum of now closed for a couple of years for a complete refurbishment, when reopens in 2023 I am certain it will be great to visit.

    We stumbled across this and even through we're two child-free adults, we couldn't resist popping in. It's a nice cheap activity if you're in Hull. We had a lot of fun playing with the interactive sand tray and enjoyed the VR experience too. Yes some things are broken (probably from unruly visitors) but there's still lots of things to see and do. We were really glad we came in - the gent behind the desk was lovely too!

    Excellent performance - Ramberts Peaky Blinders. Sadly they didn't replace the dreadful seats when they did the refurbishment.
