Explore Liverpool's rich maritime heritage through interactive exhibits, historic ships, and the must-see Titanic display. Families can climb aboard a real steamship, dress up as sailors, and try hands-on activities in the 'Great Port' gallery. The museum is well-suited for children aged 3–12, with special family trails and activity backpacks available. Highlights include the 'Titanic and Liverpool: The Untold Story' exhibition, 'Seized! The Border and Customs Uncovered', and the 1860 steamship 'SS Great Britain' (accessible via a short walk). Facilities: spacious buggy parking, baby-changing rooms, a café with kids' meals, and a gift shop. Practical tips: entry is free (donations welcome), but some temporary exhibitions may have a charge. Allow 2–3 hours for a family visit.
