The huge simulators on the ground floor of Action Stations let you enjoy and experience different areas of naval technology ranging from the Ops Room, Weapons and a Royal Navy warship bridge simulator, where you control the action.

The ground floor is also where you will find 2 different climbing activities, simulating training as a Royal Marine.

Action Stations has a 275 seater cinema where exciting action packed Royal Navy related films are shown, lots of load explosions and gunfire.
