You can feel the passion that went into the Crab Museum. It is a great experience, and it’s free! It has a wonderfully whimsical vibe and is run by enthusiastic people. Highly recommend if you find yourself in Margate wondering what to do.

Free or donation as you please with its own craft beer supply!

This was recommended by the Tourist Information centre! It's apparently the first ever crab museum in Europe!! Quirky, fun and full of facts!! Best of all it was free admission!! You won't believe how much you can learn whilst here, there's friendly staff who are always willing to share more facts and their love of crabs!! Highly recommend this place, just make sure you have your seafood lunch before visiting!!
