On the way back from holiday in Devon we decided to swing by Bristol for the day. My 7year old daughter has recently learnt about Brunel at school so she pestered us to go see SS Great Britain. I looked at the ticket prices for the 4 of us (2 adults & 2 Children) & thought it was pretty steep. Especially after an already expensive Easter holiday trip to Devon. However, she was really enthusiastic and keen to go & thought it best to promote this interest as it is a change from Minecraft & YouTube. Other than a stressful 40minutes looking for parking in the small carpark and other local parking we found a space. After this we all had a fantastic time and the dry dock in its self was worth the entry fee. Rarely will you ever get to stand beneath the hull or a propeller of such a large ship below the water line. It was simply amazing. As I walked around reading her story I also began to appreciate the effort make to bring the wrecked ship home to Bristol and the conservation going on which justifies the entry price. The whole attraction was pretty spectacular & very interesting. I know of Brunel and his works but I also have a new appreciation for him. Also one happy daughter eger to tell all her friends at school that she went to the toilet on the SS Great Britain.
