worth a visit as it is extremely well laid out. But I probably wouldn't want to go during the peak tourist season as I think you'd lose the impact of the tunnels. There is a cafe, but it was the most expensive coffee I had during my entire trip. The entrance fee is expensive, but it's inlcuded in the Jersey... More

Having visited the Tunnels of Guernsey I was happily suprised to find that this Museum had got it just right. As you walk through the museum you go through a fantastic time line of the events leading up to and including the occupation of Jersey. It focuses on the Islanders experiences instead of the invaders. You learn how everyday life... More

wear a coat as its cold inside but it is well worth it.It was well documented in history.You could actually get the feel of how it was,I suppose because you cant really change tunnels.Being born at the end of the war,I never experienced going in a shelter,so sitting in one brought it home to me what it would have been...

This was an amazing visit and one I shall not forget in a hurry! Going back in time and seeing how Jersey was occupied by the Germans was educational by far! Even without a strong interest in history it was a very moving experience and I would definitely visit again! Highly recommended!

This was a good visit for a rainy day as the museum is underground. It told the story of the occupation of Jersey by the Germans from June 1940 until liberation in May 1945. The materials on display were mostly copies or reconstructions and there were many first hand accounts by older Jersey residents which were being broadcast on small... More

A visit to this site has been on my wishlist for many years and I really enjoyed it when I finally got there this year. I had no idea of the impact and extent to which the German occupation had affected people's lives and the island, it was very interesting. I understand that the exhibitions are always being updated so... More

Whilst I knew about the Jersey occupation, I learnt a lot from this visit. The exhibitions were well thought out and described through the eyes of the people who went through the trauma. It was moving and informative and should be seen by all young people to get an insight into the things that can happen to "ordinary people". Well... More
