Advantages: Of mild interest.
Disadvantages: Little to do, possibly frightening.
With Hastings being quite a quirky, British sea-side town it comes as no surprise that 'Smugglers Adventure' is a quirky, sea-side related museum. It is not very large and does not contain a wide variety of displays or things to do but what is there is of mild interest even if it cannot be described as fascinating. For anyone with a desire to discover a bit about an aspect of the history of the area, this museum is an option. Located near the Old Town by fishing boats, huts and fishmongers, the location is very suitable. There is also a medium sized car park very near by. However, 'Smugglers Adventure' is not a good distraction for children from the Sealife Centre as it is located on the same complex. It is also important to remember that some children can be easily frightened by the displays of wax figures and dark caves.
Summary: For people wanting to know a bit about Hastings, this museum is a possibility to visit.
