Royal Armouries: Fort Nelson

Visited today and was great. Very interesting place with lots to see. The lady on reception was very friendly and helpful when we arrived too. Would definitely recommend a visit. Entry is free, small charge for car park and the souvenir guide was very reasonably priced too. We enjoyed our visit thank you

I went on a Saturday. Amazing experience, entrance to the fort is free but if you go in a vehicle, they charge £3 as a parking fee. Valuable place to Vist as we can gain a good knowledge about the war history. Good for young and old and also it's with facilities to allow disabled to enjoy the most of the areas There is so much here and it's not possible to explain all. I can't get it all into the review. Spending an afternoon here exploring with the family or alone would be both enjoyable and time well spent. The photos don't do justice to the majesty of this amazing location . Good to Vist in weekend's. As there are some entertainment programs. Good clean washrooms at the restaurant location and inside the fort.

A great place to visit and learn about the local history of Portsmouth. This place is huge and contains a vast array of military equipment as well as history of the people who lived and worked there. We came on a special events day (check website) which had a variety of activities which included re-enactments and gun firings which we found quite amazing. All in all a great day out for the family.

Great historic place to visit, heaps of information to absorb and the vast amount of artillery on show is impressive. Café is good with some great cake. A kid's meal is £5.50 which included sandwiches, drink and 2 snacks.

Amazing experience with this absolute gem, the fort is free to enter and you feel no pressure to donate or buy anything. The history within is both enjoyable and fun for young and old alike with facilities to allow disabled to enjoy the majority of the experience perhaps not the upper ramparts though there is a ramp up. I went on a tour to a tunnel not open to public often and the guides were delightful and informative. There is so much here I can't get it all into the review ! Suffice to say that spending an afternoon here exploring with the family or alone would be both enjoyable and time well spent. The photos don't do justice to the majesty of this amazing building.

Excellent place to visit with plenty to see and do. What makes it even better is that it free. If you park on the same side then it will cost you £3 but there is free parking on the other side of the road. Just in case it is busy you can guarantee your place in advance online or you can take your chances and just turn up on the day.

Very impressive. It really is a great day out, but the weather wants to be on your side to fully appreciate it. I was with a party who were not really interested in the exhibits but wanted to appreciate the views, which are very impressive. We did take advantage of the introductory talk, I wouldn't call it a tour, which was very interesting and well delivered. I did have a good look around the out door exhibits which I would have liked to see better described, but didn't get much further as my party wanted to move on. One thing really impressed me, it was FREE to get in. Great if you have a family and want to take them out. Something that not everyone can afford with a young family.Well done and I hope to visit again.

We visited Fort Nelson on a Monday, so unfortunately it was closed. However we had a good walk around the outside. Was really interesting to get a proper look at a more modern fort, with the glacis/ramparts outside giving us some real insight into how they planned on defending the walls themselves against cannon fire.Walls are quite impressive, and the fort enjoys an incredible outlook over Portsmouth. It would have been great to have been there in its early years of operation and seen how it was utilised to ensure dominance over the port areas.
