Discovery Point is the name given to the visitor centre housing the museum, shop, cafe as well as conference and events facilities. Access to Discovery Point and the Royal Research Ship Discovery is included in one ticket. The museum tells the story of the ship, her crew, her voyages includes a large number of films, games and over 150 historical objects. as you finish your journey through the museum you arrive on the quayside and go on board the ship to explore all her decks and discover what life was like on board. The average visit time for is between 2 and three hours but many visitors will spend much more time. We have a large cafe on site as well as an outdoor picnic area. Hope to have you visit soon.

Hi, as it is a self-guided visit the time taken is really down to the individual. Currently our average is between 2 - 3 hours but some visitors will take less and others much much longer. Remember a free annual pass is included in all admissions so anything you want to spend more time enjoying you can return and view for free as many times as you want for 12 months.

Hi, only assistance dogs are allowed in the museum and on board the Discovery.

The main cost is £11.25 however I received a concession as a retiree at £8.75. Children go for £6.25. Not sure of the conditions but there is a Family Ticket at £30

We had a joint ticket with Verdant Works booked on line . Concession £13 adult £18.25. Verdant works is an excellent museum not to be missed. Museum websites give you full details.

Hi Helen. The Parking at Discovery Point is in a Dundee City Council run car park next to us. The cost is £2.00 for 2 hours. There are options to increase your time if needed. As with all council car parks, parking is free if you have a blue badge. We are only a 5 minute walk from Dundee City Centre and its hotels if you would prefer to walk down. Thanks, Mark Munsie General Manger Discovery Point

Been and enjoyed it very much. Filled in the form for the season ticket.

Capt. Robert Falcon Scott & his team made their first Antarctic expedition in 1901, reaching further SOUTH than anyone before in the research ship `Discovery.` On returning he planned the attempt to be the first to reach the SOUTH POLE. He & his team sailed from Cardiff, Wales in 1910 on the whaling ship `Terra Nova`. With great difficulty the expedition reached the SOUTH POLE only to find they had been beaten by a Norwegian party led by Roald Amundsen. The SOUTH POLE is at the bottom of the earth, the NORTH POLE is at the top. (where Santa Claus lives).
