Fantastic
The Cobh Heritage centre is well worth a visit. The staff are very helpful, cheerful and interested in helping visitors. The exhibition itself is extremely well presented in the way it depicts the maritime history and recounts the stories of Lusitania, Titanic and Irish emigrants.

Nice Place to Experience Cobh
Great place to visit to do many things. You can look at history exhibits of Cobh. There is the Queenstown Story which has a fee. There are local vendors selling various products. There is a small cafeteria style restaurant where you can sample Irish favorites (fairly reasonable) and of course gift shops if you are looking for something to take home.
