The Jersey Experience
The show, entitled "The Jersey Experience", consists of three sections. The first is a section that visitors can walk around, set on a Victorian paddle steamer destined for St. Helier. It contains videos showing all the major events that occurred on Jersey during the previous century, a section on Jersey urban legends, and information on famous people who were born on or live on Jersey.
Visitors then enter the second section, which is made to look like a submarine. Here they are introduced to Jersey's maritime history by Captain Nemo, played by John Nettles.
Finally, visitors are invited to cross a drawbridge into a large cinema where they can witness a celebrity-packed show, featuring Tony Robinson, Roger Lloyd Pack, Brian Blessed, Samantha Janus, Kevin Whately and Stephen Tompkinson, who play key figures from the islands history. They are taken through from the creation of Jersey to the present day. The show is presented through various means such as videos, holograms, and moving models. To add to the experience, at one point wind blows through the theatre.

Famous quotes containing the words jersey and/or experience:
“New Jersey gives us glue.”
—Howard Dietz (1896–1983)
“What we men share is the experience of having been raised by women in a culture that stopped our fathers from being close enough to teach us how to be men, in a world in which men were discouraged from talking about our masculinity and questioning its roots and its mystique, in a world that glorified masculinity and gave us impossibly unachievable myths of masculine heroics, but no domestic models to teach us how to do it.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
