This place could have been allot more than it was. It was nice getting an idea of just how big Columbus' boats were....it allowed me to appreciate just a little more what kind of hardship came with his adventures. The boats are replicas that sit in a little man made enclosure of water. As you walk thru the ships you... More

great experience for children and lot of new info for adults. bit complicated approach by public transport, but possible

If you are at all interested in Columbus, or in sailing ships, then this is well worth a visit. The replica ships are "moored" in an artificial lagoon, and are accessed via ramps and stairs (so there is some, limited wheelchair access).

Could be much better - just for fun and photos - to visit if you have free time

However they were the only things available in English, none of the displays or information panels had any translations. This definitely diminished our enjoyment. The site has been open for the best part of 20... More
