Cobh Heritage Centre-The Queenstown Story. in Cill Chainnigh

Great place to visit for getting know about Titanic more. Straight from the place where it began. Huge emotions.

This is a real gem, most people will be visiting the Titanic museum (which is very goodbut spare time for this because it is fantastic

Brilliant exhibition, informative, knowledgeable and friendly staff.One of the best exhibitions I have visited. Well worth the visit.

Great experience. I didnt have many expectations as I was following friends, but I found it moving, interesting and very relatable.It is worth making sure you spend more than one hour inside.You go through history, while reading /hearing /seeing stories of actual people who travelled by boat. You are given a ticket to begin with, which helps with the immersive experience as you search for "your" story.I will definitely come back with friends.

Freezing ,sitting having a cuppa tea in resturant area . Not sure what tge heating families there are ,but not a pleasure le experience when y have to sit with your jacket on eating food

This exhibition highlights Cobhs maritime history, especially its association with the two tragic early 20th century liners Titanic and Lusitania. Well worth a visit. Very helpful and informative staff. Nice facilities such as toilets, restaurant and gift-shop.

Once the lobby of the towns railway station, beautifully restored its now an amazing emigration museum and heritage centre, known as the Cobh Heritage Centre. Its full of an amazing array of displays on the story of the Irish emigration from Cobh right through the period of the famine in 1845 to the era of the great liners in the 1950s. As well as displays on Irish naval and military history, and the historical role which Cobh harbour has played as a port, the museum includes displays on the ill-fated Titanic and the Lusitania. Its a very well presented and informative museum. They also provide a Genealogy Recordfinder Service and theres a small cafe and gift shop a well as an ATM inside the centre. Its a must visit.

The Cobh Heritage centre gives a great overview into the immigration of Irish people to a wide number of countries. It shines a light on the conditions they faced. Theres a lot of information so we prepared to spend 1-1.5 hours here.

Absolutely worth a visit when in Cork.Very nice displays and lots of information on the Titanic and the Emigration history. Reasonable price, given the audio guide is included.

This place was really interesting. Learned alot. Also close to a happening village area.

The current train station at Cobh is where famine victims got off to board the “coffin ships” at Cobh during the famine. It was named Queenstown following Victoria’s visit to Ireland in 1849. There’s a very good level surfaced walk by the sea next to the Heritage centre with seating and play facilities for kids. WELL DONE COBH!Cobh!

Great experience. Variety of nationalities, all catered for on a memorable tour.

Experience itself was good. However the rudeness of the lady selling the tickets was beyond belief. Her attitude and abruptness when I innocently asked for a receipt when paying was quite frankly unbelievable and totally unacceptable. Unfortunately, that is the memory that is going to stay with me from the visit.

Story of cobh. Titanic. Become a passenger. See your story

Nice building located beside the railway station and has a nice cafe with ample seating. Friendly helpful staff and reasonable prices.

Nice Heritage CentreStraight across from we’re the cruise ships Dock

Amazing town, lovely people. I surprised myself by climbing to the cathedral with wonderful views. 🇨🇮👍🇨🇮

An excellent interactive display well presented with great information. Very interesting to learn of the history of the exodus and migration of Irish citizens. Time well spent working your way through the displays.

Great family visit . Lovely to see the history of the titanic especially as my 8 year old granddaughter was learning about the titanic in school so it was great to be able to show her this place.

OUTSTANDING! Excellent experience!

A very interesting and varied visit. The conditions on board emigrant ships were brought to life memorably, as are the stories of the Titanic and Lusitania The coffee shop in the station building is very pleasant. Would definitely recommend

Its great to see the return of the cruise ships. Cobh is very welcoming which ever way you travelled by road, rail or by water. So much to see so give it plenty of time.

It was a very entertaining visit for me. They had live music on - a choir. It was a bit difficult to listen to the thing on exhibition though.There was also smell of cabbage coming from the kitchen. I guess it only adds to the environment of Irish culture. The on-street parking was free everywhere in town in April 2022.

Very interesting walk through history. I loved being a person on one of the ships. I was Winifred Hull, I survived!

This is a must see place! Its fantastic. The tour is so well laid out & so informative, the staff are so good, so helpful, they help make the visit so worthwhile. Well done to you all - well definitely be back!

I had low expectations, but was wonderfully surprised on the curating and interaction of this museum. Lots to learn about life in Ireland as well as the Titanic sinking and the Lusitania sinking. If you have time in Cobv and like museums, this is a good one to visit!

Very nice place to know about the history if Cobh city and titanic ship.It has pieces of titanic in the museumIt will take around 30-45 min to finish it all.

Great place, very interesting, nice indoor cafe serving souls and hot or cold sandwiches

Its a wonderful place to visit , its a lovely little town with lots of amenities including the Titanic experience and a boat ride to Spike Island that used to be Irelands answer to Alcatraz .

one of best place in Ireland, worth it to visit...

Fantastic, really interesting history about Ireland’s past. Particularly the large numbers of immigrants to the USA and Australia, the new world.

The Heritage Museum was more extensive than I expected! Well done displays with a lot of info on Irish history, including immigration, ships and wars. There were also displays on the Titanic and Lusitanina. Some good sound affects, videos and recreations of ship cabins, etc - those are always fun!

This is where the Titanic last set sail. They have the largest collection original objects and lots of history videos, pictures, and art. Food shops are available at this place. Great location next to the bay and near to several other attractions in the area.

Cobh was amazing. One can spend an entire day here visiting the museums and the Titanic Experience. This was the highlight of my vacation as the people there were extremely friendly and helpful, while being extremely aware of the history of Cobh as well, filling us in on the interesting aspects of it when we strike up conversations with them. The view from the harbor is absolutely glorious. This is a must visit destination for anyone in Cork.

Absolutely loved it here. Ship was diverted as was supposed to go to Dublin but sea too rough. However, it was beautiful here. We visited the Titanic experience, the impressive cathedral and the shops beside the quay. Would recommend this place.

Was interesting and interactive through being given a passenger ticket, allowing reliability when you went round. Nice extra touch with the people dressing up.

Well worth a visit. Very well laid out. Not just the Titanic but the history of Irish migration.

Extremely well layed out for a very realistic view as to what it was like in the day. A good hour or more to view.

Loved this magnificent quaint town with its history and the most unbelievably beautiful Catholic Cathedral. Well worth the visit

It’s 20€ per person- I think that money is well spend- it’s a really good exhibition! You’ll need quite some time- so make sure you have enough time!

Very comprehensive info about Irish immigration. Fascinating. Really does get into heritage, ships, Ireland immigration (forced and in some cases not). Also, goes into shipping from Cork Port, to include Titanic. Couple of movies playing at different locations. Displays, art work very nice. Place at the end to rest and eat. Location right next to port/sea.

It’s convenient at the port in Ireland 🇮🇪 in fact it is where The titanic took sail from. I’ll be honest I love ireland and all of its wonders and beautiful people.

Excellent experience, so well organised and if you have seen Belfast then youll like this and if you are going to see Belfast then this a good start, audio guides for most languages and great guides available on hand

After six days at sea we arrived to the most inviting and lovely Irish village. The entire town felt welcoming with lots of interesting maritime stories. We really enjoyed our walking tour which included a self-led portion in the Heritage Center. Getting an “identity” of one of those either on the Lusitania or the Titanic was a fabulous way to improve my own attention to details in the museum. We loved our Irish Coffee or Guinness which was provided at a very lovely and authentic pub, The Rob Roy.

Cobh heritage centre just in front of ship dock easy reach the place,when you go inside you will see all stuff the just place inside,,memorable history like in the movie

This is an excellent place to visit if you are interesting to know about Irish history. Once you are inside it seems that you came back in time with loads of old artefacts.The centre also has a restaurant, a souvenir shop and toilets available for the public.

Interesting, informative and interactive. Includes the history and stories of indentured servants, convicts and emigrants who boarded ships, liners and steames from the port of Cobh, including a section on the Titanic, the Lusitania and RMS Celtic. There are 3 computers to research your ancestors.A couple of spots in the part about the Irish Famine are low lit and I found it hard to read some of the panels.

Original museum were you can improve your knowledge about Titanic and Irish emigrants...modern technologys are originally integrated in tour...

The Cobh Heritage Centre is a great stop for visitors to learn about the history of Cobh and the Cobh connection to well-known events and disasters. Cove, Queenstown, and then Cobh; youll learn how each name came to be at the start of the self-guided tour. The immigration section is well-designed to mimic the feeling of traveling on a ship. Finally the history of the Titanic and Lusitania to wrap-up the tour. Youll learn plenty about Ireland here, so dont skip visiting the Cobh Heritage Centre.

Great little heritage centre. There is a coffee shop and souvenir shop. The heritage centre is small but well worth a visit. It would take about two hours to go around. It is good for kids. There are plenty of interactive exhibits and models. The centre goes through Cobhs rich maritime history. It covers everything from pirates, coffin ships, the famine, emigration to the Americas and Australia and Tasmania as well as obviously the towns connection to the Titanic.
