Cutty Sark Rig Climbing Experience

What a beautiful ship and visit! Just seeing it from the outside surfing the glass canopy gave me chills. I'd love to see it in full sail although it's obviously not possible. Despite that just the masts and rigging are impressive enough. I took the day pass (£38 with access for the day to the Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory) but becoming a member may be a good alternative if you intend to view the exhibits (which are then free) at the Maritime museum or plan on doing the rigging climb (50% off). I'd also recommend using the app to get the free audio guided tour which really adds to the experience. I went on a mild weather Sunday in mid-September so it wasn't too busy. Given that the ship is quite narrow with a few exhibits, I suppose it may feel overcrowded at peak time. All is beautifully presented with a lot of interesting information be it about engineering or history. The indoor deck are well lit with nice exhibits and volunteers to answer your questions. The party piece is obviously being able to walk under the hull and admiring it's elegant, sleek and gleaming shape, what an experience ! I didn't get the chance to do the rigging climb this time but hope to do it at some point. Well worth a visit.

Had a great time with family visiting cutty sark. We took the guided tour (free for members) and that really gave us great information about the boat and it's history. Fascinating. The guide was great. The audio tour was at 2pm. Worth the money. The boat is so impressive

Lovely area to wander round. The maritime museum is free to enter, the Cutty Sark is £22. The grounds nearby and Greenwich Market are well worth a visit. Made for a lovely Sunday in the October sunshine.

We had a great time exploring the Cutty Sark. There is a great short overview video when you arrive, followed by signs describing each area or item. My 12-year-old son enjoyed seeing the bunks, carpentry area and kitchen. I liked the cargo area and bow. It's easily done in under an hour, so definitely worth doing, especially with the beautiful park right outside.

This is a great museum of a large ship that is somehow tucked right into Greenwich. It's in a great location too. It's not very often that you get to walk around the inside, and more uniquely, the outside of the lower hull, of a ship like this so it's well worth a visit.
