"Loved it. Staff super helpful and informative."
"Absolutely amazing, perfect place to go to learn more about the RNLI and purchase a few things from the RNLI shop. Would recommend to anyone down here."
"What an absolute gem. I was exploring Barry on my own and looking for ways to pass the time when I saw the visitor centre. I thought it may just be for children but it absolutely isnt! I was given a tour by a volunteer (whose name I annoyingly didnt catch), and he was fantastically passionate about the RNLI's important cause. He knew the organisation like the back of his hand an enthusiastically shared so many experiences, anecdotes and advice. The exhibits were interesting and educational, and there was plenty to do for children and adults. I was only in the centre for about half an hour but I enjoyed every minute of it. The shop is lovely and bright too with some great little novelty items and also genuine aids that keep us all safe. If youre taking children to the beach, pop in for a safety wristband to keep your kiddies safer in the sea. I am so thankful for this organisation and all they do to keep us safe. We underestimate how dangerous the seas around the British Isles are, so we really must cherish the RNLI. Thank you for being the highlight of my day in Barry!"
"This is a very nice RNLI centre. The FREE interactive walk though is great for kids and adults alike. Can you dress the life guards on the correct order on time or will you be too late. Can you save families at the seaside within the time limit? The shop at the end is priced well and some interesting items. You can climb into a mock life boat and experience what it's like. And fun room is fill of tablets and more games. Make sure you visit you will we joy."
