It is a fantastic family day out. This is absolutely the go-to-place for anyone visiting Bristol. The SS Great Britain is a breath taking majestic grandeur of engineering, style, and class. The ship has been faithfully restored, and the hull has been preserved. The drydock area is simply amazing and a must see!! It puts everything into scale and perspective when you see the size of the dock, ship hull, and propeller/rudder. The view from the deck is very nice on a sunny day, would recommend you explore the deck fully. Don't forget to visit the engine room below to meet the guide who will explain why this great ship is the "great great great grand father" of all modern ship designs. Also you (hopefully) will see the engine pistols turn which is a amazing site to see it working. Would recommend you arrive a hour earlier before it opens to visit the dockyard cafe next door for breakfast. Then enter as soon as it opens to avoid queues. If you are arriving by car, you absolutely need to arrive early as the car park fills up quickly. You will also get a voucher from the parking ticket machine for ss Great Britain (but not absolutely sure what it offers as it does not present any details) . But the current prices are very good value for money, tickets last for one year, unlimited entry.
