What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Shipbuilding and Maritime Museum Traditionsschiff for its unique setting within a docked ship, detailed model displays, and fair pricing. It's considered a great value and an engaging experience for all ages, especially on a rainy day. However, some guests have noted issues with inconsistent closing times and limited direct public transport access.
"Arrived at 1530 looking forward to my visit. I was told by the staff it was now closed with various different reasons why.A female staff member said it closes at 1700 although all information shows it as 1800.I suspect that they were trying to finish early as I noted some staff leaving at 1608. If I had known that the hours had changed,I would have went to other places rather than rush here. Totally pissed off. I note reading other comments this appears to be an issue."

"Totally worth a visit! A broad display of naval history, technical information and art (currently there's an exhibition broadcasting the different epochs of painting art via Donald duck). All that presented in a docked ship (mostly interior, so good for bad weather).
Entrance fee is 4 Euro (very fair), additional 2 Euro for the parking lot. Starting at 10 am. It's close to the beaches of Warnemünde and Rostock old town, therefore a perfect location."
Thomas Ploner
"Amazing museum with beautiful model ships, (working) models of engines with such incredible detail, history of shipbuilding and all very nicely layed out. The ships and its museum pieces are very well maintained. The park where the museum is located is also worth a visit by itself. Entry for park and the musuem is only 4 euro."
