Cafe Point

The exhibition is terrific, very interesting and informative. Amazing to see what these men achieved, with equipment which by today's standard appear cumbersome or inadequate. Even the ship feels a little small and must have been rather cramped with all the equipment, supplies and men. The whole experience provides a real insight to the challenging conditions and heroic nature of the voyage. Staff around the exhibition were informative and helpful. The cafe on site is also good. A really enjoyable and rewarding visit.

I arrived in Dundee on the Tuesday morning. As I came out of station, I could see the Discovery Point and what a fine looking building . I was invited to a conference in DISCOVERY POINT the following day. So I walked into the building and spoke to reception and asked for a wee look at the building for the people who have mobility problems. After looking at the shops and all the things that you could do in this building. I left the DISCOVERY POINT feeling very proud of being Scottish. On the following morning I arrived with my colleagues for a 4 hour course .There was coffee and tea and bottles of water. The view from our window looking at the River Tay was brilliant. We stopped for lunch and it was just what the doctor ordered. There was wraps ,sandwiches and cakes. We finished our meeting at 15.45PM. The staff that looked after us were very attentive friendly and professional. I feel like I could spend a week in the DISCOVERY POINT and still want more. I'm 63 and I enjoyed this building because it made me feel welcome.

Discovery Point interprets the history of the RRS Discovery, with displays focusing on the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904 led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott. The collections on display primarily relate to the history of the ship and the men who served on her, and they vary from navigational instruments and scientific specimens collected on the ship's expeditions to personal objects that vividly represent daily life for polar explorers of the period. Moored at Discovery Point you will find Scott's ship RRS Discovery, where you will follow in the footsteps of him and his crew, see how they lived, what they ate, and witness their hardships and their triumphs. A great day out for all the family.
