You can read previous threads about the Titanic expo here and here!

We did this on our very last day, just before we headed off to the airport and enjoyed it throughly. I just wish we had more time to look around as there is a lot of things to look at, artifacts, pictures etc.

It is very well done, you get to go on a tour with a tour guide who plays someone who was actually on the Titanic. They show you round, many of them are highly entertaining, and once the tour is finished, you are free to go back and look at things you may have missed or would like a better look at.

There were a few kids on our tour who seemed to enjoy it, the tour guide got them involved so that kept them amused. I am not sure if every tour guide does this though.

Definitely a must do

Im a Titanic Nut myself, and was quite disappointed with this exhibition, There are very few genuine artefacts and I didnt think it was particularly respectfull of the fact that very many people lost thier lives. It even had a giant lump of Ice so you could appreciate how cold an Iceberg was!

Sorry but it was a bit too 'theme park attraction' rather than any sort of tribute to the event.

I have to agree with Alvin with regards the artifacts.Too many of them were from the sister ship The Olympia.
We enjoyed the exhibition though but for a family of 2 adults and 4 children I thought it was a bit expensive[ $70+] for what it was.

My husband went to the Titanic Expedition on his own while i took the children shopping. He said he enjoyed it (probably because he got rid of us for the afternoon) but said it would have been a waste of money for us all to have gone - I didn't think it was a good idea at the time to tell how much the shopping trip had cost.
