Fodor's Review:

Housed in an 1860 customs warehouse next to the Penno's Wharf Cruise Ship Terminal, the center continues to be a work in progress. Phase One of this multiyear, multimillion-dollar project was unveiled in the summer of 2006, and an on-site theater opened in the summer of 2008. You can now view an introductory film (A Stroll through St. George's) and visit the ground-floor Orientation Exhibits Gallery, which showcases several hundred years of civic history. In an effort to make the past palatable—even to very young guests—this gallery has engaging models, ranging from a miniaturized version of St. George's (circa 1620) to a full-scale mock-up of the deck of the Sea Venture.It also contains a costume corner where kids can dress up in period outfits. Developed under the auspices of the St. George's Foundation, the World Heritage Centre is set to include further exhibition space, a library, and retail outlets when completed.
