Description: Hartlepool's Maritime Experience provides a fascinating insight into life at sea, and on shore during the 18th century.  The quay is a reconstructed sea-port, which includes shops and stalls, brought to life with taped dialogue.  Another major attraction is the restored HMS Trincomalee, which is Britain's oldest floating warship.  Children love the Maritime Adventure Centre, where there are hands-on activities on a nautical theme, and outside there is a huge wooden playship to explore.  The Bistro & Quayside Coffee Shop offers a good range of meals - or if you want just a light snack or drink, visit the Wingfield Castle Paddle Steamer.  Adjacent is the Museum of Hartlepool (admission free) which traces the history of Hartlepool. Open: mid-February - 31st October: 10.00 - 17.00 November - mid-February: 10.30 - 16.00 [Closed 25th & 26th December and 1st January] Admission: Adult: £7.75 Child: £4.75 Senior: £5.75 Family: £20.00 [2 adults & up to 3 children] Season tickets also available We love: the adventure playship - let your children's imaginations run riot as they become pirates for the day!
