Fun place. Cool things to look at and located right down town. Price was about $5 or 10,000 cop. There is no English translation on the displays so that might be disappointing if you actually want to learn about the history of Cartagena ( I know Spanish so it wasn't a problem for me). Overall we spent about 1hr there and would definitely recommend if you are nearby.

Great museum showing the history of Cartagena, from the age of Piracy to its modern naval force. Everything's in Spanish though so knowing the language is important.

Lots of history! A good place to see, but a bit overpriced. The English tour guide was good but hard to understand and somewhat rushed.

Best museum we visited in Colombia. We received a brief history of the city and the countries naval history. Very good diagrams and models of the city over time with good explanations of what the background history. The guides english wasn't great (if your spanish isnt great either) but made up for it with knowledge and enthusiasm.

Great museum! Was really a surprise for us. You can touch everything. Ask for a free English guide as all exhibits are in Spanish only.

If you don't speak Spanish, you aren't able to spend some good and informative time in the museum.
Besides that it's a nice place and they try to keep the exhibition diversified.response / report this review -

Cool museum, nice installations, interesting stories. But there is nearly nothing available in english - no worries, the guy at the entrance is happy to help for about 7-10 usd to guide you through the exhibition. Just make sure you write down the price before you start as we agreed on COP20,000 and at the end he was pretty adamant that we need to give him COP30,000

Excellent place for families to visit! Even our two year old had a good time. The first floor of the museum focuses on the history of Cartagena, and the second floor is about Colombia's modern navy. There are a lot of interactive exhibits on the second floor - the submarine simulation was an especially big hit. It's worth the entry fee of approximately $6 for adults (under $1 for kids).

Located next.to the main wall of the old city section of Cartagena, this museum is a great place to explore Colombia's maritime history. The installations are modern and the old building is a great colonial structure. The museum covers prehistory through to the modern Colombian navy. A great place for young and old

Spectacular museum chock-full of interesting and educational exhibits: about the pirates and the establishments of forts around the city, the initiation of the Colombian Navy and the wars it has fought, and presents modern-day naval operations and equipment.there is even a walk-through replica of a submarine that is super fun!! I spent a half-day there and was never bored. Best Navy museum I've been to.
