Advantages: great staff, nice restaurant, good facilities, well planned out, easy to get to & more

Disadvantages: none that we found

My Partner and I took our first holiday together to Jersey ealier this year in May. We spent one afternoon at the educational and thought provocing Jersey War Tunnels.
My partner is more interested in history than me, so it was more a visit for him than myself. I was however, pleasently surprised with the attraction.
I found it so emotional and the way it was laid out was fantastic!!! As you walk through the tunnels you are guided through a timeline of the war and the ocupation of Jersey.
You are given an ID card as your ticket which is of a real person who experience the horror, and up in the restaurant you can find out a bit about that person. I thought this was a fantastic idea- it really connects you with whole experience.
As you move through the tunnels you not only see the finished rooms and corridors, but you can see unfinished parts which really makes you understand the conditions the slaves were under!
I found the way you learn so much about indivual people and their experiences over wealming.
The staff were polite and helpfull, letting us explore with no pressure, but on hand if we needed assistance.
It was really easy to get to on one of Jersey's fantastic bus routes, and the facilites there were also great.
It was such a great place, so educational & well thought out! The black forest gateux in the restaurant wasn't bad either (in fact it was lovely).

Summary: A great afternnoon out, eduactional and emotional
