Shipwreck Museum
The Shipwreck Museum in Hastings displays artefacts from local shipwrecks and fossils found in the surrounding area. Families can explore multi-sensory exhibits and learn about maritime history through the museum's collection of ship remains, lifeboats, and dinosaur fossils.
Museum offers interactive elements for children and is free to enter, though reviews focus mainly on artefacts and history rather than child-specific appeal.
