I went to Titanic The Immersive Experience with reasonable expectations and left feeling properly mugged off.

It is a hefty ticket price for what boils down to a handful of underwhelming photo backdrops and two VR experiences that genuinely look like they were built on a Commodore 64. Blocky visuals, dated animation, zero sense of immersion. Calling it cutting edge is generous to the point of comedy.

The artefacts are not special. Most appear to be either replicas lifted straight from the film or things that look like someone with a decent printer tried very hard to make feel authentic. Nothing felt rare, original, or remotely moving. If you are expecting museum quality or anything close to historical depth, this is not it.

The experience design is also painful. Once inside, you are funnelled into queues. Twice. Each VR experience is about seven minutes long. The first queue was around 25 to 30 minutes. After that, we skipped the second one because morale was already on the floor.

For kids, it is a miss unless they are already Titanic obsessed. Under 12s will be bored stiff, and even older kids would need prior knowledge to get anything out of it. There is very little storytelling, context, or emotional build up. It feels shallow and rushed.

Overall, this is style without substance and even the style is dated. Expensive, underwhelming, and forgettable. Save your money and go to a proper museum or watch the film again. At least the CGI there still holds up.

We must be easily pleased as our experience differs greatly from lots of your other reviews. Firstly , the booking process was easy and accurate. The staff were very friendly and the place itself was immaculately clean, even the toilets (which is rare). Yes, there was a lot of boards to read but it was all interesting information. But the hi-lights of the tour were the immersive experiences, 3 in all, a seated 360°headset experience, a seated 30 minute storytelling from the building of the titanic to its sinking from the perspective of a father and his little daughter, then the best for us was the walk through the ship wearing the headsets. Overall we thought it was good value for money, as we paid much much more for other immersive experiences that were garbage.

Visited Wednesday 27 August. It is really NOT worth the hefty ticket price. My son and I were shocked at the very poor quality of displays, VR experience and storytelling. It wasn't that realistic or interesting, might as well just save money and watch the film. At least that DOES show the dramatic moment of the iceberg, which is totally missing from this exhibition. It is a lazy money-grabbing poor excuse for an exhibition, especially when compared to much higher quality exhibitions such as the "Gunpowder Plot" in Tower Bridge (I don't work there nor I am affiliated, I am using it as a comparison as it also uses VR and storytelling to a much more impressive effect for the same price). It was so bad and underwhelming that I am attempting to get a refund. Save your hard earned cash

Tried to book. Incomprehensible email reply with incorrect date and no contact phone number. 48 hours claimed to reply to emails. Compulsory data harvesting cookies leading to a flood of spam emails. Cannot see tickets as they're hidden in QE Code that cannot be opened unless you download their 'Fever' app which stinks and harvests even more data. It doesn't mention this before it takes your money which includes booking fee.
I so regret trying to book tickets for this shambles. Trying to cancel it now with my bank. No wonder they sunk.
UPDATE. Their booking agency have kept my money but refused to reissue my tickets so we're not going to the exhibition. Disgrace.

Don’t waste your money, most awful displays I’ve ever seen . Poor value for money. Staff look depressed also as well as visitors

Went today. Half the items are from the Olympic (Titanics sister ship). The other half are replicas or articles that “would have typically been found on the Titanic”. The experience was very underwhelming and certainly not worth £20. The whole display felt low effort. Felt more like an exhibition of Cunard White Star Line than the actual Titanic. Very VERY few actual genuine articles from the actual ship. 80% of the display is just large photos that are already in the public domain. 7/10.

Overpriced and more of an Olympic exhibition than a titanic one, went in expecting to see items brought up from the bottom of the ocean only to see replicas and pieces taken from the Olympic (Titanic sister ship)
As another has said, the projection was poor quality and amateurish, the headset whilst containing several stories of particular passengers, seemed slightly irrelevant, the items in cases were mainly letters written at the time by passengers or white star line item replicas.
The only up side were the staff on sales at the end and the photographer on the way in who were really friendly and helpful.
Prices weren't too bad for your personalised photo at £10.

Amazing experience!
Absolutely loved this, 100 percent recommend.
Go to the Italian Cafe around the corner and order the homemade Lasagne OMG! Fabulous!
